Giobagnara

CURATED FORMS BY GIOBAGNARA | Giobagnara participates in Design Miami Paris

For the very first time, Giobagnara participates in Design Miami Paris, the showcase of museum-quality furniture, lighting, and objets d'art, presented by the world's leading 20th and 21st century design galleries in Paris, this October.

Alongside these galleries, Giobagnara brings exceptional works by design alchemist Martino Gamper and artist Gary Hume, realised in leather marquetry, in a collection of signed, numbered limited editions of gallery quality furniture and objects. The fil rouge here is marquetry in leather, for the first time executed on furniture rather than just small leather goods and handbags, and for the first time produced together with both aluminium and mirror.

Giobagnara combines the Italian renaissance with modern day Italy, during the renaissance this technique, known then as pietra dura, stone inlay or intarsia, was referred to by the Florentines, as 'painting in stone'.Giobagnara have updated this by working in leather and suede (the speciality of the house for nearly 3 decades), together with aluminium, in the case of Gary Hume or mirror, in the case of Martino Gamper. This exceptional know-how or savoir-faire represents the best of made in Italy today, and connects back 500 years to the birth of the artisan, who have always been the producers behind the best of the decorative arts and design.
