GIOPAGANI

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

The dining table “Heroes” is the strongest expression of formal brutalism. Here, river fir is assembled and taken to the extreme in the composition of the large tabletop, which appears to float on the supporting structures. The lightness of the top juxtaposed with the much heavier presence of the supports gives the table a strong character, along with the mono-chromaticism of the material, making it a timeless object of great impact.

"I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day"

Senza Fine sideboard is a storage unit, composed of a case made of sandblasted ashwood stained black. The doors are made of Black Antiaris wood veneer lacquered in glossy polyester.

Senza Fine Sideboard: The Senza Fine collection is strongly characterized by the material they are made of, Black Antiaris, a “humble” wood of African origin that must be dried very slowly and which in our objects is crafted in a very special way. It is the wood stitching that truly defines the soul of the collection. We use selected wooden pieces, cut and assembled with mastery to create a veneer sheet that becomes more than just a simple surface, it becomes a story written on the wood itself. The finishing process is equally meticulous: five layers of varnish, each applied with care and left to dry for three days, giving the objects an ethereal shine

Just as Ornella' s music resonated with emotions and created a lasting impact, this armchair aims to evoke a similar emotive response with its exceptional aesthetic and attention to detail.

Life is a long song: Lighting collection. Each glass sphere is formed by hand using a technique reminiscent of the mastery of Venetian artisans. The process begins with a layer of blown glass covering a smaller internal sphere, akin to a delicate embrace.
Then, the glass is placed on a platform and immersed in brass dust debris, which adheres to the surface like precious memories that shape our essence. This layer of glass is then manually sculpted, taking on the form of a droplet, symbolising rebirth and transformation.
During this phase, the heat triggers a reaction with the brass, trying to burst out while remaining trapped between the layers of glass, forming bubbles that float within it.

Fire wood lends an authentic character, with its natural grain telling its story. Each piece of wood used is carefully selected to ensure maximum quality and uniqueness.

Baker street collection :
The lamps in this collection are born from the love for Venetian Murano glass. We have adopted a conventional glassworking technique, which is mold blowing, with an “ancient,” classic blowing system. To create the desired volume shapes, we used old molds carved into wooden logs, which are always kept moist in greenhouse-like storage to prevent the wood from cracking and bursting due to heat.

The uniqueness of the techniques shines through the application of acids that impart delicate satin finishes. This technique imbues the light with a curvature and a distinctive ambiance, offering an unmatched visual and sensory experience

Living in the past collection : Each piece in this collection was conceived with a rock soul, inspired by the rebellion, freedom, and creativity of the Jethro Tull musical era. Crafted entirely from solid brass, each element radiates a potent and unmistakable energy, evoking the rebellious spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The polycarbonate tube is encased in fabric, creating a contrast with the solidity of the brass. The light diffuses, casting an aura of warmth and intimacy. An invitation to explore the darkest and most mysterious nuances of our soul.

Behind an object

"Day after day the goal is to create iconic pieces
that give life to timeless collections, to projects characterized by a sophisticated and never ostentatious luxury, keeping their values and roots intact"

CHASE ETERNITY
Book
During his personal journey, Gio Pagani pervaded by sensations, inspirations, and contaminations that bring to mind memo- ries that are translated into forms.
The inspiration from the arts occurs in an unconscious way: a book, a painting, a dress, music on the radio.
“I grew up listening to music, I belong
to a generation for which music was the fastest way to travel. To break barriers, to open mind and imagination”.
Like a soundtrack for a film, music is able to create a special union with the
object, making every aspect and facet of it understood.
From Ornella Vanoni’s 60s Italian music to Lou Reed’s 80s punk rock.

The genesis of each individual element unleashes passion and mastery. Each component, handcrafted by skilled artisans, is fashioned from Murano glass using a rotational mould, making the shapes and their energy unique.

L’Alberto dining table has a top made up of a supported matte Breccia Capraia marble slab with a solid marble frame.
The top is anchored to the two bases by matte black metal plates. Each base is made up of two half-cylinders in matt- finishing Breccia Capraia marble on the outside and matte black metal on the inside and in the plinth.
L’Alberto dining table is available in this material combination only. One-off edition with custom engraved brass plaque.

The L’Alberto dining table, a masterpiece of art and craftsmanship, embodies timeless elegance. The meeting point between brutality and grace. Its appearance has a monumental charm, regardless of its size. Attention to detail creates a sophisticated and unparalleled beauty.

After All Consolle

The raw, untreated river fir is paired with Notre Dame marble - a material in its natural state - which is full of inclusions and veins that make it resemble a pictorial insert within a rough, raw frame. The absence of form becomes dominant to give strength to the material from which it was made.

The Consolle After All is characterized by the material becoming more predominant than ever, the shape is neutral. The raw, untreated river fir is paired with Notre Dame marble - a material in its natural state - which is full of inclusions and veins that make it resemble a pictorial insert within a rough, raw frame. The absence of form becomes dominant to give strength to the material from which it was made.

Giovanni Pagani presents the Vittorio series of side tables is striking in its simplicity and elegance. The bold, archetypal structure emphasizes the beauty and naturalness of wood.
A customizable leather top supported by two plinths with curved ends and joined by a subtle bridge in contrast to the other elements.
The Large coffee table has an additional version featuring a Notre Dame marble top version with a black ash wood recessed tray

As a testament to the enduring influence of his work, GIOPAGANI has skillfully reimagined the iconic piece, bringing veracity back to the material with sandblasting and natural stains on Elm wood to emphasize its natural texture and movement. Everything is transformed to shape a new aesthetic legacy

The Souvenir armchair is a brilliant tribute to Pierre Jeanneret’s significant contributions to furniture design, a master whose simple stylistic and technical gestures gave life to objects that transcend time and trends.

"Mater Materia": an ode to the strong and decisive elegance of natural materials. The collection reflects the perfect combination of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Gio Pagani’s romantic reinterpretation of the skull as a symbol of the inevitability of life and a testimony to a strong sense of infinity.
At the end of time, the individual loses his physical nature and the mask survives, a record of the personality created in life.
A personality enclosed in the mask that becomes eternal overcoming the limitations of time.
An object that shows a romantic side of the sin of vanity.
A face that becomes nameless and contiunues to hide behind his mask, pursuing infinity

Mater Materia
The theme of this collection pays homage to formal brutalism, an aesthetic expressive movement that spanned from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Originating in architecture and later extending into design, this movement communicated a great expressive power tied to a strong subversive charge. The purity of the material juxtaposed with simplicity of shapes—aesthetic approach to objects or architecture aimed at giving a strong expression to simple forms, where the material became predominant and exaggerated the shap.

The Saint Germain collection expands with the introduction of a bed. The argentone frame that characterizes the sofa returns on the back of the headboard of this iconic piece, making it perfect to stand out at the center of any room. The low platform and slightly protruding edge evoke Japanese-inspired environments, but the leather it’s made of gives a decidedly rock imprint to this visually striking bed.

The finishes in black brushed brass and raw silver add a touch of refinement and personality, while the size options, King Size and Queen Size, can meet all space and comfort needs.
