about - Pier Luigi Frighetto

40 anni di attività che partono dalla laboriosa provincia di Vicenza, terra di imprenditori arditi: a 21 anni Pier Luigi Frighetto aveva già avviato la sua azienda di produzione di imbottiti e negli anni 80 fu tra i primi a esportare mobili italiani negli Stati Uniti. Innovatore, visionario, talent scout e fiutatore di tendenze, nella sua vita professionale ha collaborato con molti giovani designer che, anche grazie al suo supporto, hanno potuto emergere ed ancora oggi lasciano il segno nel mondo del design.

Fondatore di aziende di successo, dal 2011 al 2021 ha guidato Black Tie, brand con cui Pier Luigi Frighetto ha dato vita ad elementi di interior design dall’eleganza senza tempo, che contraddistinguono il suo stile ricercato e raffinato. Noto per la sua minuziosa attenzione ai dettagli, in Black Tie Pier Luigi Frighetto ha creato complementi d’arredo unici, di altissima qualità manifatturiera, prodotti artigianalmente in Italia, per soddisfare gusti ed esigenze di una clientela esigente e sofisticata. Moscabianca è l’ultimo brand nato dalla mente di Pier Luigi Frighetto: porta la firma di oltre 40 anni di design e di esperienza nella produzione di elementi d’arredo di pregio, con soluzioni all’avanguardia che si accordano a linee iconiche. Un connubio tra classico e moderno che solo il miglior design è in grado di esprimere. Classicamente eccentrica, raffinatamente unica, distintiva e rara: Moscabianca è una collezione di oggetti dal carattere forte ma discreto. Perché l’eleganza è l’insieme armonioso di dettagli esclusivi, perfettamente studiati da un grande direttore d’orchestra. Nel 2023 il brand moscabianca e’stato ceduto alla Pianca spa che con la sua distribuzione commerciale saprà dare quell’impulso allo sviluppo a cui il fondatore aspirava.

“I still remember when Von Robinson, a young emerging designer at the time, chased me down the street in New York to show me a tiny armchair model. I liked the project and also his enthusiasm. We worked together and had our products displayed in storefronts around the world: it was a sign of recognition and at the same time a wonderful legacy.” “Exporting has always been my thing. I have always felt like a citizen of the world. In the late 1980s, I set up “Frighetto Americas” to facilitate distribution in the United States, before groupage services even existed. We were exporting 75% of our production.” “I have carried pen and paper with me my whole life. I started working when I was very young. At 25, I already had my own production of sofas and armchairs which I had designed myself.” “I can mention some major international designers who have collaborated with me, such as Karim Rashid, whom I brought to Italy. We met at the Vicenza station and went for lunch together. We designed an armchair on a napkin which we later presented at the Milan show. It was pink leather – something shocking at the time – a product which was later featured in more than 100 magazines in Italy and internationally…”
