An exclusive interior design and furnishing shop: un nuovo brand dedicato a chi sceglie il lusso della ricerca e il gusto della perfezione...

the luxury of the search sounds a bit too close to the Italian. Any suggestions?

selected luxury / luxurious selection


Explanation:
I base this idea on the fact that something "searched" for means that somebody has carefully looked around and chosen, or "selected" the pieces with an objective - in this case to bring the customers luxury.

Maybe using "from a" could be used to fit in with the rest of the phrasing.

a discerning eye


Explanation:
It's admittedly more understated than the IT; a lot depends on your target audience.
"Della ricerca" sounds odd to my non-native ears, and others have posted decent answers with luxury, so here's my shot :)

Example sentence(s):
  • ...for those with a discerning eye and a taste for perfection.
