A bit of history – because only then can we understand the essence of producing exclusive Italian furniture in a classic style

The history begins in northern Italy in the small village of Casale di Scodosia, known for its woodcraft tradition. It is here that the Modenese Gastone luxury classic furniture factory is located. The factory is owned by the Modenese family, who have been in the wooden furniture industry since 1818. Family secrets and traditions have been passed down from father to son over 7 generations. And how did it all start?

In 1818, like most families in the area, Modenese established their own workshop and began producing what was needed in the nearby communities and towns - wooden agricultural tools. This was the old solid craftsmanship that was essential at the time. It was from this seed that great multi-generational manufactories were born. Their rhythm was set by simple tools and true craftsmen. After the Second World War, Modenese's production gained great popularity not only in the local market but also abroad, especially in Germany. The family has always remained faithful to their traditional style, even if the produced furniture changes slightly according to the buyers. This truly shapes exclusive brands – consistency and tradition!

A very important factor behind Modenese's class are 3 aspects that have remained unchanged for many years: Baroque classicism, solid wood as the primary material, and exclusively handmade production. This is their ABC and foundation, which ultimately determines where they are now and what they strive for.

Luxury classic-style furniture from Italy – changes after the fall of the Berlin Wall

Today, the success of the brand is not only driven by Gastone Modenese's three sons: Renzo, Renato, and Francesco - but also his grandson Paride. They all unanimously continue the family traditions and manage the factory. An important milestone for the company occurred in the early 90s, when after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Modenese Gastone's production became known in Russia and the CIS countries. This allowed for increased recognition and the design of ever-new collections that conquer the world.

In recent years, the number of employees in the manufactory has increased, and it is now a team of young professionals who love Italian design and elegant interiors. Now Modenese Gastone is represented by people from 7 countries, and together they speak 16 languages. The Modenese company is a true heritage of Italian craftsmanship. A multi-generational brand producing top-class furniture for stylish interiors. Lots of classicism, opulence, beautiful fabrics, materials, and Baroque. That is Modenese.

Italian furniture for classic living rooms and interiors – what does production look like?

The production of furniture at Modenese Gastone involves the careful selection of high-quality wood and the precise processing of natural wood by our craftsmen. Only precious types of wood are used in the manufacturing process: noble types of cherry, walnut, oak, and ash; also, for inlays and veneers, only selected materials are used: radica (the part of the tree close to the root), walnut, ash, mahogany, ensuring the furniture surface is elegant and sophisticated.

In the next stage, experienced carpenters prepare raw hand-carved furniture. The entire wood carving process is carried out entirely by hand using traditional carpentry tools. On the table tops, the front surfaces of consoles and other furniture parts feature charming inlays made from various materials: small pieces of different types of wood, marble, and mother-of-pearl are inlaid into the wooden surface, creating a beautiful palette of colours and a variety of wood textures.

The prepared unpolished, carved wooden furniture is sent to the varnishing workshop. During the staining and finishing of the furniture composition using special spray diffusers, the craftsmen ensure that the colour matches the finish sample chosen by the customer as closely as possible. The varnished furniture then moves on to the next drying stage.

It's time to add some glamour to the furniture using gold, silver, bronze, and other types of leaf. Throughout the entire production process, gilding is done by hand: craftsmen apply a special adhesive to the decorated surface and cover it with a fine piece of gold (silver, etc.). Then, using a special stiff brush, the fine pieces of gilding are embedded into the wooden surface. Depending on the amount of shine and density of the gold decoration desired by the customer, craftsmen use from 2-3 to several dozen layers of gold in this procedure!

In the next stage of furniture decoration at Modenese Gastone, outstanding artists, graduates of the Venetian Academy of Fine Arts, hand-paint the furniture, realising the clients' deepest dreams. Classic Venetian pictorial scenes appear on wardrobe doors, and vibrant floral patterns bloom on table tops. Artists will draw on the furniture surface at the client's request.

After varnishing and decoration, all stylish sofas, exclusive armchairs, pouffes, chairs, bed headboards, as well as wall panels, are upholstered with high-quality fabrics. Then all the furniture goes through 3 phases of quality control. And this ultimately delivers true and genuine luxury.

The quality of the wood, individual paint drying kilns, artisanal carving processes, wood treatment, and the meticulous work of outstanding craftsmen and artists are the guarantee of the highest quality final product from Modenese Gastone!
