Mercand is an independent and original project that takes place inside the Lanificio di Torino, a former industrial complex converted into a creative hub, located at Via Bologna 220/Int. 79, in the Aurora district. This unique space is a dynamic hub dedicated to vintage, 20th-century design, conscious reuse, and the culture of authentic objects.
Mercand Torino collects and selects vintage objects, industrial furniture, modern antiques, retro curios, and furnishing accessories with a distinctive, contemporary style. The store's soul lies in its ability to blend aesthetic research and sustainability, transforming forgotten materials and objects into design elements brimming with personality. Among metal shelves, 1970s tables, restored school chairs, salvaged lamps, graphic posters, and one-of-a-kind pieces, every visit is a visual discovery that sparks imagination and creativity.
Mercand is a fluid space, designed for interior decorators, architects, designers, and vintage lovers seeking extraordinary objects and unexpected furnishing solutions. Each piece tells a story, but is also ready to become part of new narratives, fitting seamlessly into urban environments, contemporary interiors, or exhibition spaces.
In a city like Turin, rich in industrial history and emerging creativity, Mercand represents a perfect synthesis of past and future vision. Its connection to the Lanificio di Torino reinforces its identity as an evolving place, where material memory is renewed through the selection, restoration, and valorization of vintage design.
