GF89 Giuseppe Fanara, Florence Videos

Scatole in cuoio, al disco!

Interview by @nb.globetrotter Niccolò: What are these for? Mirko: These are coin pouches. They will be objects that we have created with the Florentine "cuoietto" technique. As you can see, it is wet and modeled on wood. There are no external or internal seams present in this object, precisely because Florentine "cuoietto" has the characteristic of having no seams. The leather is immersed in water and modeled on wooden shapes. For example, to create a coin pouch like this, which, then, maybe, I'll also show you how it looks when finished... Niccolò: May I touch? Mirko: Yes, of course. It starts from a form of wood. This form of wood is broken in half so that the first part comes out, then the other when the object is finished. #nb #notabene #firenze #florence #フィレンツェ #travel #florencia #artigianato #arte #madeinitaly #storyteller #niccolobagnoli #italia #artigianatofiorentino #italy #pelle #giuseppefanara #gf89 #leatherworks #leathercraft #madeinitaly #italy #lifestyle #fashion #discovery #custom

• @nb.globetrotter The next stop of NotaBene is GF89 Giuseppe Fanara @giuseppefanara1989 , the workshop of Giuseppe and Mirko Fanara; two generations of craftsmen specialized in the art of leather. Giuseppe and Mirko's production comprises small leather goods, all customizable to the client's liking. Their particularity is that they are vegetable-tanned, a choice in line with eco-sustainability. What struck me the most about their work is their attention to detail, which is truly visible in the quality of their creations. This is also reflected in their use of Florentine "cuoietto," a type of leather with no seams, which is wet and modeled on wooden shapes. When talking to Mirko, I understood that genuine leather is a live material. In fact, the beauty of a leather object lies in observing how it ages through time, which makes it unique in its capability of telling a life story. #nb #notabene #firenze #florence #フィレンツェ #travel #florencia #флоренция #artigianato #arte #madeinitaly #storyteller #niccolobagnoli #italia #artigianatofiorentino #italy #pelle #giuseppefanara #gf89 #leatherworks #artigiani #artigianatoitaliano #leathercraft #madeinflorence
