    From wickerwork to indoor and outdoor collections

    Gervasoni began in the province of Udine as a small artisan workshop specialising in wickerwork, the Premiata Società Friulana per l'Industria di Vimini, which passed to Giovanni Gervasoni in 1925. In the 1990s the company moved into a new phase with Paola Navone, who created some of its most iconic collections and was its artistic director until 2020.

    Gervasoni combines industrial and natural materials with craft techniques, and offers broad customisation: finishes or dimensions can be adapted, or pieces made ad hoc for a project.
