Design, supply and delivery — united.
VME Group is part of Concept Black: four specialist hospitality firms working as one team, from the first sketch to the final handover.
One partner, from concept to handover.
Most hospitality projects are stitched together from separate designers, suppliers and freight agents, each answering to a different programme. Concept Black works the other way round: one aligned team, one set of drawings, one accountable line to the client.
Inside the cluster VME Group is the Italian side — procurement, professional kitchen engineering and access to a top-tier manufacturing network — and through its Studio LV division, front-of-house interiors.
