MILAN — Known
worldwide for its sleek, architectural lighting systems and statement furnishings, Italian high-end furniture manufacturer Henge is broadening its creative horizon by expanding into tabletop accessories, artisanal glassware, and luxury home fragrances.
On Tuesday, the Milan-based design house announced that its inaugural home collection is anchored by the core, tactile materials that have long defined its brand identity—stone, glass, and metal. The company describes these elements as the foundational building blocks of “a new way to live the home,” bringing its signature aesthetic down to an intimate, everyday scale.
The carefully curated array is heavily marked by natural textures, organic silhouettes, and earthy hues. It features exquisite Murano glass tumblers and a matching carafe designed by renowned creative Ugo Cacciatori, alongside the striking Ripple trays by Yabu Pushelberg. These trays are ingeniously molded flat before being fashioned with cast silver and gold, creating a dynamic interplay of light and polished metal surfaces.
At the heart of the new collection are the Rever plates, derived from the French word rêver, which translates to “to dream.” Handcrafted in Carrara from a sophisticated selection of Rouge Languedoc, Napoléon, and Gris Cévenol marbles, each individual plate reveals its intricate natural veining through a sophisticated combination of polished and bush-hammered finishes.
Furthermore, the collection marks Henge’s highly anticipated maiden foray into the realm of home fragrances with the introduction of Henge Fragrance #34. Named in honor of the brand’s prestigious showroom located at 34 Via della Spiga in the heart of Milan, the fragrance is a complex olfactory composition. It blends vibrant, sun-drenched Mediterranean top notes of Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, and delicate jasmine with a rich, textured heart composed of frankincense, Virginia tobacco, and robust Russian leather.
Reaching a New Customer
Henge’s strategic expansion into tableware, glassware, and fragrances is indicative of a broader, ongoing trend within the luxury design sector. Across the industry, high-end furniture brands are working to make their exclusive creative universes more accessible to a wider audience by introducing smaller, collectible products. These items afford potential clients a tangible point of entry into a brand’s lifestyle ethos without requiring the substantial investment associated with big-ticket items like a luxury couch or a bespoke dining table.
This commercial pivot mirrors similar moves made by competing Italian powerhouses. In December 2025, Molteni & C—owned by the family-run Molteni Group in northern Italy—executed a comparable strategy when it shifted its focus toward smaller objects. This included the introduction of sculptural pieces within the Gio Ponti collection, which featured eight select designs meticulously sourced from the legendary architect and designer’s extensive archive.
Fellow Italian design firm Cassina has likewise embraced this market shift, successfully commercializing smaller sculptural objects such as candle holders designed by the late Swiss design master Le Corbusier, alongside proprietary lines of home fragrances and high-end tableware.
Despite their smaller scale, entry points into Henge’s new lifestyle ecosystem start firmly on the ultra-high end of the market, reflecting the brand’s uncompromising commitment to artisanal craftsmanship and rare materials. Retail prices for the Ripple trays start at 610 euros, while Henge Fragrance #34 is priced at 250 euros. Meanwhile, a set of two Rever glasses starts at 450 euros, and a marble bowl set of two begins at 390 euros.
Henge first debuted its collection and its uncompromising, material-driven design ethos at Salone del Mobile.Milano in 2011. The company was founded by Massimo Tormena and his partner in life and business, architect Isabella Genovese. Since its inception, the brand has consistently collaborated with celebrated Italian designers as well as established international creatives, such as the prominent multidisciplinary design firm Yabu Pushelberg.
Some of Henge’s most recognizable and critically acclaimed designs include the Floyds Lights Series, created in collaboration with historic Venetian glassmaker Venini and designed exclusively for Henge by Ugo Cacciatori. Another milestone is the sculptural, marble-clad kitchen named Opera, which was designed by the renowned Italian architect and designer Massimo Castagna.
In 2024, the firm further solidified its global footprint by opening a flagship showroom in London. Situated within comfortable walking distance of Harrods and neighboring fellow Italian design houses like Molteni & C, Henge London functions simultaneously as a premier retail space and a vital corporate hub for architects, interior designers, and high-end clients traveling from central and northern Europe.
