Brand Story
By Andrew Rizza
Dream Design Creative Director
In 1898, in the town of Meda, in Italy’s Brianza region, Luigi Giorgetti opened his modest carpentry workshop to create items to decorate the homes of the Milanese nobility. By the 1920s, the workshop had expanded and Giorgetti had set its sights on America, to which it exported traditional wooden chair frames. The demand from the US came as a happy surprise, forcing the workshop to streamline its production system – lessons that have served Giorgetti well, since today, its products reach more than 85 countries.
In the 1980s, the then president of the company, Carlo Giorgetti (Luigi’s grandson), had the foresight to partner with some of the world’s leading architects – Massimo Scolari, Léon Krier and Chi Wing Lo, to name a few – on new products. None had designed furniture before, but the results were modern and boundary-breaking – a description of the Giorgetti collections that is still accurate today.

Hug Armchair
The beautiful curvaceous lines of the Hug armchair are formed from twenty individual pieces of solid walnut, by fusing traditional cabinet making skills and industrial precision. The frame of the seat and backrest is in profiled steel and the padding is in cold foamed polyurethane covered with fibre. Protective like a hug and soft in its generosity, this armchair holds the body keeping it firmly anchored to the ground. The fixed upholstery cover is available in a wide choice of fabrics and leathers.
Gordon Dining Table
Gordon is a series of tables with the structure and top dividers formed in solid maple. The table is available with a round or rectangular top, the geometric rigidity of which is softened by bevelled corners. The round 250cm version comes complete with an inset Lazy Susan. The top is available with rosewood, marble or saddle leather inserts. The columns are covered with saddle leather and the profiles of the bases, as well as the top inserts, are finished in a natural bronze effect.
Skyline Sideboard
The Skyline sideboard is a contemporary, yet classic piece of cabinetry. The metal structure is finished in a pewter effect. The cabinet doors are exquisitely formed with opposing Canaletto Walnut veneered panels that radiate from the core. The inserts of the top can be in Canaletto walnut, marble or leather.
Montgomery Dining Chair
Montgomery is a chair inspired by the Austrian knot—a type of lacing that characterises Montgomery coats of the ‘80s and ‘90s. The lines of the chair revolve around this detail and recall the collections of some historic designers from the 1970s. Ashwood structure with removable fabric or leather cover.
Aspara Outdoor Sofa
Aspara is a modular outdoor seating system, distinguished by its protruding base that is made up of afrormosia wooden slats, alternated with others in powder coated aluminium. The upholstery, with fabrics from the Open-air collection, is completely removable.Good design can have a big impact on our quality of life.
