Established in Melbourne in 2021 by industry veterans Nathan Bachli and Rebecca Pistilli, the BACHLI showroom houses an expertly curated collection where international design excellence meets local craftsmanship. According to the power duo, their refined showroom is “home to a carefully curated bricolage of high-end design spanning furniture, lighting, art and a small selection of accessories.” Their philosophy is brilliantly simple—every piece should be worn in, not out.

Expect to see a curated mix of international and local designers and artists, many of whom are exclusive to BACHLI in Australia, including Italian-born heritage furniture brands MDF Italia, Saba Italia and Passoni, Melbourne-based timber furniture makers Lowe Furniture, Italian marble sculpture designer Bloc Studios, Belgium lighting design, tossB and New Zealand-born Nodi Rugs.

In a commitment to enduring design, BACHLI represents products that not only stand the test of time but also grow more beautiful with age. Take the Jean Nouvel-designed NVL Table for MDF Italia, for instance—a piece so exceptional it claimed the 2021 Elle Deco International Design Award (which Patricia Urquiola aptly calls the ‘Oscars’ of design).

Innovation meets sustainability in MDF Italia’s collaboration with Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta. Their Array modular sofa system demonstrates how flexibility and comfort can coexist without compromising our planet’s future. Meanwhile, Saba Italia’s Pixel sofa, celebrating its 10th anniversary, continues to impress with its endless personalisation possibilities and ergonomic excellence.

Local talent shines equally bright through Melbourne-based Lowe Furniture. With over two decades of timber craftsmanship expertise, their latest releases—the Brazil and Manhattan tables—showcase Australian design at its finest. The expansion of their popular Dish collection into coffee tables proves their ability to evolve beloved designs while maintaining their essential character.

BACHLI’s approach reflects a deeper understanding of how design shapes our daily experiences. Their selection process considers not just current appeal but how each piece will integrate into and enhance the lives of its owners over time. Through their dedicated team, they provide a pathway to creating spaces that evolve beautifully with each passing year.

BACHLI is quietly challenging our throw-away culture by championing pieces that will still be turning heads decades from now. In a world obsessed with the new and next, there’s something compelling about a space dedicated to future heirlooms.

Enjoy 20% off all furniture, lighting and rugs at BACHLI from November 20th to December 21st.
