Artfully Curated – Ghidini1961 by Mondopiero
Welcoming a touch of Italian design to Australia, Mondopiero introduces the luxury Italian brand Ghidini1961. The move signifies the brand’s passion for bringing understated luxury and timeless design to Australia.
A family-owned business celebrated for its innovative approach to contemporary furniture, product design and unconventional materiality, the introduction of Ghidini1961 signifies an exciting expansion for Mondopiero. Celebrating the unique craftsmanship and expert manufacturing process unique to the Ghidini1961 brand, the alignment of philosophies is tangible, with both defined by refined and timeless design.
Passed down the family line for generations, Ghidini1961 comes from a small town within the region of Brescia in Northern Italy called Villa Carcina, and many of the town’s residents work as designers, craftspeople and artisanal experts for the brand. Today, Ghidini1961 is under the helm of CEO Robert Ghidini and Art Director Stefano Giovannoni. Contributing designers include Andrea Branzi, Fernando and Humberto Campana.
Specialising in die-casting brass, aluminium and zinc alloys, Ghidini1961 seamlessly combines design innovation and traditional Italian craftsmanship. With a focus on making the everyday a more curated and artful experience, the collection is characterised by statement furniture pieces, art, decorative accessories and lighting fixtures. A commitment to state-of-the-art manufacturing methods with a desire to always evolve are sentiments that Mondopiero also follow, and each piece is made with longevity and authenticity in mind, once again reflecting Mondopiero’s values.
