Dexelance targets €500 million in revenue as design market slows
Italian design group Dexelance is targeting €500 million in revenue over the medium term, despite a weaker market than expected.
The global high-end furniture and design market was worth about €46 billion in 2025, after easing from a post-pandemic peak.
Dexelance brings together 13 companies and 16 brands, and says it aims to help them grow while preserving their identities.
In the first half of 2026, its revenue rose about 17% to €182.6 million, partly because it added Mohd in 2025.
Excluding acquisitions, the group expects 2026 revenue of €373 million to €380 million, compared with €373 million in 2025.
More than 75% of its revenue comes from outside Italy, with Europe its largest market and North America accounting for 19%.
Dexelance plans new acquisitions from 2027 as it pursues its longer-term growth target.
