The EPOQUE & CO company is based in Altamura (BA) in a 4,000 square meter facility designed and built keeping in mind the issues of environmental sustainability and energy saving. Today the company's retail focuses on the development and expansion of the home project on the national and international market, with a range of products that include different collections. The company's flagship collection is EPOQUE by EGON FURSTENBERG. The osmosis of two antithetical cultures: craftsmanship and planning on the one hand and imagination and creativity on the other originate the prestigious collection. The Epoque by Egon Furstenberg home collection is fashion, glamor and has always seduced with enchanting furnishing proposals, occupying precise areas of taste and approaching the classical world. Born at the behest of Prince Egon von Furtstenberg who knew how to transpose his philosophy into the line dedicated to furnishing the rooms; his idea was to revisit in a modern key, using innovative materials and unusual combinations, classic pieces of furniture giving them style and elegance. Respect for this philosophy is LIFE MOTIVE which, still today, guides the maison in production. The collection consists of classically inspired sofas, refined, recognizable by the beauty of the fabrics, ranging from velvet to pure silk, exclusively designed with the best Italian weavers. Worthy of note are the precious trimmings, the refined edges of the cushions, true protagonists of the collection, which become the decorative element par excellence. The collection also considers an ultra modern and chic style characterized by sofas with clean and extremely sober lines, wrapped in leather, leather and nubuck noble materials with humble and ancient traditions that speak of history and manage to become contemporary. The latter have become an integral part of the upholstery of all models. Selected, selected and highly ecological leathers that always guarantee respect for the environment. Each model has its own uniqueness given by the unrepeatable craftsmanship with which it is packaged, each detail has its importance and a reason and is executed with careful attention and skill.
The development of the home collection widens the range of products that today range not only with upholstered items, but also with furniture, lamps and glassware. Consoles and tables made original wrapped by the use of the "resin" material that allowed to experiment with new decoration techniques applicable to any type of surface. As part of the lighting you can admire splendid chandeliers, lamps, wall lights and lampshades that enrich the environment by giving new sensations of chiaroscuro, thanks to the use of materials such as steel, brass, hand-chiseled and decorated with alabaster and with Swarowski crystal pendants. The Home Collection broadens its horizons with the Contract collection, focusing on the furnishing of luxury hotels which if on the one hand provides creations with a very high level of visibility, on the other allows, thanks to important orders, to continue to invest in development of the lines. But if on the one hand a great deal of attention has been paid by the company to the development of the product that undergoes all stages of production within the company itself, equally attention is dedicated to the development of distribution and marketing in Italy and abroad. . As far as the Italian market is concerned, the strategy aims at consolidation and greater penetration into the stores that already distribute the collections. But the development plans look far beyond that in recent years our international expansion has been carried out in a decisive way. The Eastern European countries (Russia, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, etc.) are the best performing and represent a large share of the turnover generated across the border. Without forgetting also Greece and Spain where we are enjoying excellent performances. Another objective is to go and position the collections in a particular way in the countries of the Middle East, Asia, India, China, Korea. For this reason, what makes the difference today, in terms of marketing and business strategies, is not only the ability to offer a dream, but to be able to make it come true. Today, if you want to be successful, it is not enough to put a good product on the market, but it is absolutely necessary to transpose the values in which to identify ourselves, in which we believe.
