Bio

Hi, I’m Daniele, the Founder of Architectours. After thirteen years as Communications Manager for Valcucine, as well as a two-year stint at Driade, I felt the need to launch something fresh and original in the design and architecture world. A showroom, a trade fair or an advertisement are not enough to understand a brand, its underlying philosophies, and how it undergoes its product development, so I wanted to create a new way of connecting architects and interior designers with top design companies. I love travelling and discovering new places. My favourite cities are New York and London for the energy they emanate; Copenhaghen, Singapore and Hong Kong for their astonishing architecture; countries like Portugal, France, Spain and islands like Bali for their unique atmospheres. I can keep on quoting many other lovely and remarkable places around the globe, but my heart is here in Italy, and I want to share the rich, creative history of my home country: the architecture and the Italian cultural heritage; the food and the Italian lifestyle; the beauty of our cities and small towns. But mostly, I want to introduce you to the most relevant and inspiring design companies and creative people that continue to define and influence both the Italian and greater global design scene. This is why I founded Architectours, the first network of design tourism in Italy.
