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.
