Baxter

Baxter is an Italian furniture company founded in 1990 between the manufacturing district of Brianza and Milan, by Luigi and Paolo Bestetti, descendants of generations of saddle-makers. Leather is the starting point of the catalogue: hides are worked with minimal intervention to keep their natural grain, marks and depth of colour, then combined with marble, solid woods, metals and outdoor fabrics.

That material focus has widened into complete interiors – residential projects, hospitality and a series of branded spaces. In 2015 the company acquired the historic President cinema in Milan, now Baxter Cinema, and since 2022 Casa sul Lago on Lake Como has hosted the annual presentation of new collections. Baxter also works with Italian and international designers, and gives room to younger talent.
