The idea behind the Gattinoni Home Collection brand, created exclusively by Brianform, came to life two years ago and follows the success achieved in 65 years of activity in the world of fashion. It is a collection of furniture for the home with the same distinctive design which for years has characterized the fashion-‐luxury brand. A careful selection of materials, a passion for design research, and care for the purity of the lines -‐ always up-‐to-‐date and featuring a refined simplicity -‐ are the trademarks of Gattinoni Home Collection. The international showcase of the 2013 Milan Fuorisalone has been chosen for the launch of this prestigious brand and the Gattinoni Home Collection project has many more surprises in store for the future.
The task of developing this important collection was entrusted to an architect who has always been involved in architectural projects and conservative restructuring, as well as in the field of industrial design: Emilio Ronzoni. The names and inspiration for all the creations were taken from Since 1946, a book which includes all the models of the fashion house founded in 1946 by Fernanda Gattinoni. The Gattinoni label has always been a symbol of quality and elegance, so much so that the clothes have been worn by some of the most fascinating women in history, such as Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Kim Novak, Lucia Bosé, Ava Gardner, Margaret England, Anna Magnani, Gina Lollobrigida, Anna Maria Pierangeli, Isa Miranda, Lana Turner, Queen Maria José, and many others.
Architect Ronzoni took his inspiration from some of the details of dresses designed by Gattinoni. This was the artistic starting point for creating upholstery, tables, and chairs. It is a collection of furniture proposals that pays homage to iconic movie stars, which have been immortalized on film while wearing the unique, stylish, and glamorous designer clothing from the famous fashion house. The current Gattinoni Home Collection proposal combines the past and present of the fashion brand -‐ focusing on the 50’s to then jump straight to the new millennium. First we have 1950, a couch that makes small items, such as buttons, its signature. The magic of overlapping fabrics and a soft design give life to 1955, a line that includes a bed, dresser, and nightstand. Gattinoni designed the dress for Ingrid Bergman that inspired this collection.
