Roberto Giovannini

Sixty years of history tell the story of Roberto Giovannini. The only company in the sector capable of proposing Re-editions of Art, placing itself as an ‘Interpreter’, on a par with the great musicians and conductors, with great respect for the original project and the historical-cultural framework that defines them.
And it is precisely in the ability and desire to interpret and re-edit 17th and 18th century Venetian, French and English artefacts that the Company's mission is expressed, thanks to the passion of Roberto Giovannini, creator of the Brand, researcher and scholar. Re-editions that are accurate and faithful because they are the result of an in-depth study of everything that lies at the basis of the project: design, context, ‘executive practice’ of the historical period, i.e. the application of the rules handed down through treatises, manuals, annotations and epistles.
The company run by Irene Pieraccini, i.e. the third generation at the helm, today sees re-editions of period projects, realised with contemporary production criteria: a successful synthesis of research and innovation that makes the dialogue between present and past dynamic.
It is through these guidelines that the company embarks on a path that, while maintaining the characteristics of historical and philological rigour of the Art Re-Editions, is able to ferry them into the contemporary world, hybridising them with materials and fabrics, at times distorting and contrasting, with innovative finishes that lead to different and intriguing colours, to new expressive languages that strengthen tradition by renewing it and adhering to certain changed canons of today's elegance.
Translating the design to the present day does not mean distorting it, mechanically repeating elements and stylistic features, or arbitrarily applying random finishes and elements, but rather seeking out innovative criteria in contemporary culture that wisely dialogue with the original design, at the same time making it a coherent and dynamically up-to-date re-edition.
Sofas and armchairs as islands, sumptuous and fantastic mirrors as windows on the world, Beds, Tables and Consoles where one can imagine oneself in a simple and pleasant everyday life, in which to live, work, dream.
Because the works of the past, designed and created by the great authors of past centuries, offer a fantastic opportunity for storytelling. They allow us to study and experiment with multiple and complex procedures, segmented by style areas, with the aim of re-editing exciting and decorative objects, suspended between memory, dream and the contemporary world with its many questions.
