Valentina Giovando

Italian

Valentina Giovando has an artist’s eye and masterful skill for furniture made from unconventional materials, from lamps draped with fiberglass scales to tables decorated with patterns of cut brass and zinc. She makes every work by hand so each is unique and a testament to her extraordinary capabilities. The Italian designer’s lighting, cabinets and bedroom pieces are audacious, expressive and supremely elegant.

Giovando’s influences are eclectic and her style does not fit into any box. Employing a vast range of materials — such brass, steel, fabrics and fiberglass — she draws her inspiration from nature and historic style eras, primarily Art Deco and Liberty, the Italian take on ​Art Nouveau

Born in Italy, Giovando had an early passion for artistic objects and was intrigued by both antique and contemporary pieces. She would add her own artistic flair to these objects, embellishing them with whatever materials were available. Through this experimentation, Giovando developed her practice with its singular style. She moved on to creating her own concepts for furniture pieces and lighting fixtures and bringing these visions to life.

In the 1990s, Giovando opened her own workshop in Sarzana, an Italian town known for its culture of art and design. She has since worked tirelessly and with great creativity to make a diverse offering of opulent works.
