Samuele Mazza was born in Palma di Montechiaro in Sicily and is an internationally renowned designer with a passion for the quality of Italian handmade products, who defines himself as a contemporary dandy.
He worked for various companies in the design and fashion worlds before starting to experiment independently, building and elaborating his aesthetic code and very personal stylistic code.
Gucci, Trussardi, Gerard, Corneliani: these are just some of the names that have seen Samuele Mazza in the ranks of the professionals employed, and they are some of the brands Mazza says he is most attached to.
In fact, with these brands, the designer has trained and developed his understanding of style and fashion industries.
Mazza is inspired by music, fashion, and art, blending different styles into his own unprecedented, unique, and expressive technique, and has reached the pinnacle of the international design scene by designing a furniture line inspired by the neo-gothic style called Visionnaire. He was also the artistic director of this brand until 2010.
This line was inspired by the "scenography" of theatrical houses, and by the representation of the Self, marked with signs of literary testimonies and built around the rare and most precious catalysts of memory such as art, the photos that cover the walls, which constitute its private and beating heart.
Samuele Mazza is appreciated by experts and amateurs from the design industry and, in particular, international furniture design, and his projects often appear in the pages of the AD Architectural Digest magazine, one of the most famous international furniture magazines.
The designer’s creative spirit and his love for open spaces has led him to create an extraordinary outdoor collection that bears his name.

1. The Samuele Mazza Outdoor Collection is a brand licensed to DFN
Samuele Mazza relies on DFN for the production and distribution of the outdoor furniture line that bears his name.
Why did the designer choose to approach the world of outdoor furniture?
In an interview for Artribune, Mazza, who currently lives in Milan, admitted that he misses the sun and the sea.
In this sentiment, the designer found the drive that led him to create a furniture collection designed to celebrate the sun and nature.
To make his project a reality, Samuele Mazza chose to collaborate with DFN because of the company's history of excellence in the field of outdoor furniture.
DFN is a leading company in the creation and sale of high-end outdoor furniture, including custom-made furniture, and in the global creation of luxury outdoor spaces of any kind.
From the organization of the project to the selection and/or construction of the furniture, coatings, textiles, and decorative objects, up to the actual building of the environment, DFN takes care of the entire process.
With the collection by Samuele Mazza, DFN offers a wide range of luxury furnishings with exceptional technical, mechanical, and aesthetic characteristics and a unique style that create a glamorous style in outdoor environments.
2. Samuele Mazza is design and craftsmanship
Samuele Mazza offers staple pieces created with cutting-edge materials and the best modern technologies. Their charming and classic look is truly timeless.
The high-quality design and innovative vision of the creator of the Visionnaire brand do not compromise the use and longevity of the products.
On the contrary, the roots linked to the craftsmanship and careful manufacturing of Made in Italy result in products of the highest functional and aesthetic value, which represent a new way of experiencing outdoor spaces and the furnishings that complement them.
In the Artribune interview mentioned above, Samuele Mazza talked about his love for excellence and artisan quality not as a taste, but as a real education received from an early age, deeply rooted in the ways and traditions of the beautiful country of Italy.
The Italian, and specifically Sicilian, matrix of Samuele Mazza's style is more than ever depicted and examined in the designer's texts published by Rizzoli “Sicilia. Ettari di nettari” and “Sicilia. Noto dentro e fuori” and is clearly reflected in the refined taste and artisan quality of the outdoor line designed in collaboration with DFN.
Precisely this personal, artistic, and stylistic approach is what led Mazza to design unique furnishings, where the slightly baroque aesthetics, typical of the landscapes of southern Italy, meet a rationalism of ideal use.
This peculiar combination is the feature that makes Samuele Mazza's furnishings a timeless luxury.
3. Samuele Mazza's materials: tradition and experimentation
From rattan to synthetic resin, vellum, iron, and a new type of eco-leather, luxury marine vinyl, treated for maximum resistance to water, humidity, and UV rays; passing through fine textiles and decorated with original patterns and themes.
Samuele Mazza experiments with various materials, from the most traditional to the most innovative, for maximum performance and an all-Italian style that does not go unnoticed.
The materials selected for Samuele Mazza's outdoor collection combine quality, comfort, and refinement, now a natural recipe for Samuele Mazza, who has made this formula the basis of Visionnaire's brand philosophy.
To complete the creative and production process of Samuele Mazza's outdoor collection, DFN's know-how in the field of outdoor luxury allowed for the creation of furniture in bespoke materials, also designed for specific uses, such as high-end kitchens, orangeries, and conservatories.
With the selected materials, Mazza designs furnishing elements, coverings, and furniture, coordinated in styles, shapes, volumes, and color palette, to allow you to design and furnish outdoor spaces that are always harmonious, refined, and chic.
