Every Great Design Begins with an Even Better Story… This Is Ours

It all began on a beautiful, warm summer morning, 12 years ago. By chance, we both found ourselves sitting on Janet’s bench. After a slow start, we talked and talked some more. It felt as if we had been drawn together by something beyond time and place, as if our connection had always existed.

Italy became a part of our love story. We got engaged in Venice and a year later, eloped and married there. Italy holds a very special place in our hearts. Our journey has since expanded beyond Italy, taking us to Scandinavia, where we discovered new brands in Sweden that aligned perfectly with the Casa e Cucina aesthetic. These designs, while Scandinavian, transcend the typical look and embrace a global style that complements our Italian brands beautifully.

Everyday objects and the things we saw had a special quality that is hard to describe. We now understand this is the element of great design and how it actually transcends the most simple things into objects of great beauty.

We saw many things that we loved but could not bring everything home. There is so much great Italian design that we haven’t seen here yet and so grew the seed of an idea to bring to Australia what we love and enjoy about Italy to share with our friends and family. As we showed off our prized pieces we realised that our friends also appreciated what we saw in these special things and the idea for Casa e Cucina came to life.

Our Mission

Our travels through Europe have gifted us with countless memories and endless inspiration. We're always on the lookout for new ideas and brands to bring back home to Australia, so we can share the beauty we’ve experienced. Casa e Cucina was born out of our desire to bring the elegance and passion of European design into Australian homes.

Today, we are partners in both life and business. Whether we’re walking, talking, or sitting on that same bench, we’re always dreaming up our next adventure—most likely back to Italy or Sweden or Norway or wherever comes next. Ciao Jenny and Quentin
