The IACCSE in collaboration with Promos Italia — the national agency of the Italian Chamber system dedicated to internationalization – hosted a delegation of five Italian companies specializing in high‑end furniture for a two‑day trade mission in Miami.

The initiative connected Italian manufacturers with the South Florida design community through a curated program of B2B meetings tailored to each firm on Oct. 29-30.

Participating companies included:

• Carpanelli Srl – Fine handcrafted wooden furniture (www.carpanelli.com)
• Impatia Srl – Luxury design game tables (www.impatia.com)
• Hebanon Fratelli Basile – Haute décor in fine wood (www.hebanon.com)
• Marmi Vrech Srl – Marble and stone craftsmanship (www.marmivrech.it)
• Universal Sedie Udine – Contract and residential seating solutions (www.universalsedie.com)

Throughout the mission, companies met with architects, interior designers, and real estate developers, gaining first‑hand exposure to the dynamics of the South Florida market. The format enabled participants to exchange insights, assess evolving design and procurement trends, and gather concrete requests from qualified buyers.

As part of the program, the delegation engaged with leading firms involved by the Chamber, including Gensler, Stratos, Touzet Studio, and others. These high‑level conversations offered a practical understanding of specifications, timelines, and U.S. project requirements—key elements for entering or expanding in the region.

This mission marks a pilot in a renewed collaboration between IACCSE and Promos Italia. Despite a challenging trade environment, demand remains strong for Italian products that combine craftsmanship, innovation, and contemporary design. Italian furniture continues to stand out for its quality and originality—benchmarks that have few competitors on the international stage.

The Italy‑America Chamber of Commerce Southeast (IACCSE) returns on November 12 with one of its most beloved events: Food Design Night.

Set in the Miami Design District, this year’s edition is hosted across three spectacular Italian showrooms — B&B Italia, Poltrona Frau, and Molteni&C — in a synergic format that celebrates the dialogue between culinary creativity and Italian design.

Three local chefs from popular restaurants Luca Osteria, Felice Restaurant, and Da Angelino will each present a food‑design creation inspired by Italian contemporary design. Their work will be evaluated by a jury of experts composed of influencers, design leaders, and food professionals, who will assess concept, aesthetics, and taste.

Italian wine and beverage brands such as Valdo and Ferrarelle will also participate in the initiative. 

Food Design Night will also offer a preview of two upcoming events:

• Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, presented by the Consulate General of Italy
• Best of Italian Design, presented by the Italy‑America Chamber of Commerce Southeast

Food Design Night is a joint initiative organized in full partnership by the Consulate General of Italy and the Italy‑America Chamber of Commerce Southeast.

Invitations & access

• Members will receive two complimentary tickets to attend the event (max two tickets per company). You will receive an invitation soon.
• A selected group of architects, interior designers, and influencers will also be invited.
• The event is by invitation only and capacity is limited.

We look forward to celebrating the intersection of Italian design and gastronomy with our community in the Miami Design District.

The 2025 edition of Italian Business Community Night on October 24^th at JW Marriott in Downtown Miami was a resounding success, drawing nearly 300 members and guests—one of our largest attendances ever for the Chamber’s annual dinner.

The evening celebrated community, collaboration, and the growing impact of Italian business across South Florida.

Attendees explored the future of Miami through compelling presentations by Madeline Pumariega, President of Miami Dade College, and Gianluca Venturi, Global Senior Tech Business Development Manager at Amazon. Their insights on talent, innovation, and technology offered a forward‑looking perspective on where the region is headed—and how Italian and American partners can grow together.

During the program, we recognized the 10 new Premium Members who joined the Chamber in 2025. Their commitment strengthens our network and enables us to deliver greater value to the entire community. The IACCSE has become the Italian Chamber in the United States with the highest number of corporate members—345 companies. This milestone reflects the momentum behind our mission and the rising participation in our signature initiatives.

A special thank‑you to Casa Tua Cucina and the team at JW Marriott Marquis for an exceptional dining experience curated by Michelin‑starred Chef Douglas Santi—a unique touch that showcases the excellence of Italian cuisine at our flagship event.

This special night would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors:

Gold Sponsors: Clevertech, CMC Group, Corpay, EXP Legal, MDM Hotel Group

Silver Sponsors: Barakat + Bossa, La Rosa Energy, Giro d’Italia – Ride Like a Pro, Salumeria 104, Mapei Corporation, Ruffino, Weiss Serota Helfman Cole + Bierman, Valdo
