Gervasoni is an established reality in the world of indoor and outdoor furniture, which has crossed the new frontiers of avant-garde and innovation in the 1990s thanks to the eclectic and unconventional creativity of Paola Navone, while still maintaining that background rich in history and tradition that has been characteristic of the company since its beginnings.
Founded in 1882, Gervasoni is a family-owned company and currently run by the third generation with Giovanni and Michele Gervasoni. It narrates an informal, elegant and contemporary world. The continuous search for the creative potential given by exclusive combinations of industrial materials, natural materials and handcrafted techniques, combined with the passion of more than 140 years of activity, has created a style recognizable worldwide.
