Gervasoni for sale on 1stDibs

The family-owned Gervasoni furniture brand has been designing and producing top-quality armchairs, coffee tables, chandeliers and more for a century and a half. Creating indoor and outdoor pieces, Gervasoni has a reputation for fine craftsmanship and attention to detail, exporting their exceptional works to 80 countries around the globe.

The Gervasoni company began in 1882 in Pavia di Udine, Italy, as a small workshop that wove wicker products. The brand has adapted its design style numerous times, fine-tuning and improving production methods along the way to create works ranging from rustic to ultramodern. While wicker and rattan remain important, Gervasoni has employed a variety of materials in its furniture, including concrete, porcelain, brass, hardwoods and bamboo.

The company has stayed in the Gervasoni family for three generations and is currently headed by brothers Giovanni and Michele Gervasoni. They pride themselves on substance and form, pursuing a mission of informal elegance in all they produce. Several notable designers, such as Italian architect Paola Navone and English product designer Michael Sodeau, have collaborated on Gervasoni creations, adding their singular perspective to collections.

A Close Look at Modern Furniture

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.
