A new Italian furniture and accessories showroom has joined the half-dozen or so other European showrooms in River North vying to outfit Chicago’s hi-rise apartments in sleek style. Casa Spazio is owned by the same company that owns Home Element and Jesse; the manager of Casa Spazio tells me that his showroom’s merchandise is a step up in quality from the Jesse brand.
