Apartment in Tbilisi on $80 000 — Minotti, Poliform, Baxter turnkey. Entirely online

Video testimonial from a client in Georgia. A full furniture package for an apartment from China with four top Italian brands: Minotti, Poliform, Baxter, B&B Italia. Selection and purchasing were handled entirely remotely by MBL senior manager Olga with the involvement of our designer Anastasia Shulgina. Since the project was handed over, the client has already been preparing the next one — a house in Los Angeles.

‘I was looking for a way to put together an apartment with top Italian brands — Minotti, Poliform, Baxter, B&B. I costed the budget in Tbilisi and in Europe — it came to $200,000+ for the furniture alone, without finishes or works. That is simply impossible money for an apartment.»

‘Through MBL I got the same set of brands for $80,000, with custom sizing available to suit my layout. I never once came to China — it was all run Anastasia the designer and Olga the manager over video. We selected materials, colours and textures in real time. We are now preparing my next project — a house in Los Angeles.’

$80,000 vs $200,000+ — 60% savings on the same brands

The main story of this case: the same visual result on a budget 2.5 times smaller

Prices in Europe and Tbilisi

$200,000+ for the furniture alone

‘In the showrooms of Tbilisi and Milan I counted at least $200,000 for the set I needed. And that was without finishes, lighting or renovation.’

Minotti, Poliform, Baxter and B&B Italia are the absolute top of the Italian furniture market. The official price of a single Minotti sofa is €15–30,000. A full apartment set easily comes to $200–300k for the furniture alone.

On top of that — a lead time of 4–8 months for production in Italy, plus logistics to Georgia (customs clearance, delivery). Many items are made to order only, with no scope for customisation.

Through MBL from China

$80,000 + custom + online

‘I got the same brands in the same flat for $80k. With custom sizes to fit my layout and online support throughout.’

China has factories that produce for those very same Italian houses. The same leather, the same foam, the same assembly. Simply without the European brand mark-up.

On top of that we do what is almost impossible in Italy: custom sizes to the actual layout of the apartment. A custom-size Minotti sofa, a dining table for the required number of seats.

How we ran the project from Tbilisi

A team of 2 on the MBL side: designer Anastasia Shulgina (selection) + manager Olga (purchasing and control). The client in Tbilisi, the factories in China

1

Curating designer

Anastasia Shulgina (@shulgina_design) selects references to fit the apartment plan — which Minotti / Poliform / Baxter / B&B models are needed, in which sizes and materials.

2

Purchasing in China

Senior manager Olga works directly with the factories. Video inspections, approval of fabrics and leathers, sign-off on drawings. The client in Tbilisi sees every step.

3

Custom-made to the plan

A custom-size Minotti sofa — something that cannot be made in Italy without a complicated OEM process. At our factories it is a routine job: hand over a drawing, receive a finished piece.

4

Delivery to Tbilisi

Reinforced packaging, a container to Poti/Batumi, customs clearance, delivery to the site. Installation on site — with our assembly recommendations.

⚠

What matters to understand before ordering

‘This is not an original Minotti with a certificate. It is an adaptation made at Chinese factories that use the same materials.’

We are honest with every client: if a made in Italy label with a specific serial number is critical for you, our format is not the right fit and you need an official showroom. But if the result is what matters — the same quality of leather, the same assembly, the same visual effect — for 2-3 times less money — we do it better than anyone on the market.

In this case the client knew that from the very start. She chose result, not the ‘right passport’. And he is now preparing his next project with us in Los Angeles.

The main outcome

The client is already preparing to furnish a new house in Los Angeles. We look forward to more interesting projects!

What you will see in the video

A tour of the finished interior with MBL designer Anastasia Shulgina (@shulgina_design). The team travelled to Georgia specially to film in the actual apartment after the owners moved in.

Key pieces by timecode: 00:56 — the leather chairs of the dining group; 01:31 — bar stools in rough leather; 02:04 — a bespoke Baxter ‘Cube’ chandelier; 03:30 — a modular sofa and a Minotti armchair; 04:53 — a Poliform dining table; 06:01 — a custom-size Minotti sofa; 07:34 — top models from Minotti, Poliform and B&B for the bedroom.

Ideal for anyone who wants to understand: what an $80,000 result looks like in a real apartment, not in renders.
