Behind every great project lies an invisible direction that makes it possible. Mestieri has brought this role to the forefront and turned it into a model. Part of the Somec Group, Mestieri is not a traditional manufacturing company: it is a coordinated ecosystem of outstanding Italian artisanal businesses, structured within an integrated in-house production chain and driven by a commitment to excellence in execution. A system founded on the belief that, for a project to reach its fullest expression, different areas of expertise must come together in perfect synergy.
Mestieri has brought together highly specialised crafts from different sectors, connecting them through rigorous project management and advanced engineering to ensure complete control over execution, timelines and processes. The brand positions itself as a single point of contact for architects and clients alike: a strategic partner capable of supporting high-end interior projects – in both the civil and naval sectors – from concept to completion, while maintaining absolute consistency and attention to detail throughout.
At the heart of Mestieri are five companies that embody artisanal expertise deeply rooted in their respective territories. Over time, they have successfully combined traditional craftsmanship with technological innovation to engage with the demands of contemporary design. The journey begins with Budri, bringing more than sixty years of experience in marble craftsmanship. Its expertise extends far beyond surfaces, embracing architecture, furnishings and decorative applications, treating stone as a material with virtually limitless expressive possibilities.
Ceolin and Lamparredo specialise in metalworking, transforming the material into architectural elements such as façades, window and door systems, monumental staircases, bespoke components and cladding solutions of every scale. Skillmax is the voice of wood: bespoke cladding and furnishings for luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, private residences and retail environments, offering the highest degree of customisation through more than 3,000 available finishes. Alongside these companies stands Total Solution Interiors (TSI), which extends the Group’s expertise into the naval sector through the design and construction of interiors for cruise ships and superyachts.
Drawing strength from this synergy, Mestieri approaches every project – from retail to residential, from office environments to hospitality, from museums to naval interiors – with a deeply bespoke mindset. This philosophy translates into tailor-made solutions calibrated to each client’s specific requirements, supported by continuous guidance throughout the entire process. Mestieri becomes involved from the earliest stages of development, helping to shape decisions through strategic consultancy services that include feasibility studies, cost assessments and recommendations on the most effective solutions.
This is followed by an engineering Research & Development phase, during which design concepts are transformed into technical models ready for production. This stage also includes the creation of prototypes and samples, essential tools for evaluating materials, finishes and proportions. The process allows every solution to be refined and validated before being tested according to international standards.
Only then does the production phase begin, where advanced technologies and artisanal expertise work in constant synergy. Finally, qualified installation services ensure flawless execution, supported over time by planned maintenance programmes. In this way, Mestieri has created a new approach to high-end project development: building a system of complementary savoir-faire and opening up previously unexplored design horizons for the finest traditions of Italian craftsmanship.
