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.
Ghost and Club
- Ghost: sofas, armchairs, ottomans, chairs and beds with a light body and soft cushions, dressed in an oversized housse with visible stitching that can be taken off and changed, from a simple to a more formal look.
- Ghost Out: the outdoor version, made to resist water and sunlight.
- Club: fixed and modular sofas for living and dining areas, with a soft backrest that forms a natural fold, polyurethane foam padding, a fully removable cover and stained ash feet.
