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

The story begins in northern Italy, in the small village of Casale di Scodosia, known for its tradition of wood processing. It is there that the Modenese Gastone luxury classic furniture factory is located. The factory is owned by the Modenese family, who have been operating in the wooden furniture industry since 1818. Family secrets and traditions have been passed down from father to son through 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 municipalities and towns – wooden agricultural tools. Classic, solid craftsmanship that was essential at the time. From this seed, fascinating multi-generational manufactories arose. Their rhythm was set by simple tools and true craftsmen. After World War II, Modenese’s production gained popularity not only locally 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 buyers. This is what truly shapes an exclusive brand – consistency and tradition!

Three factors that have remained unchanged for many years underpin the class of Modenese: baroque classicism, solid wood as the primary material, and exclusively handcrafted production. These are their ABCs and the foundation that ultimately determines where they stand today and what they aim for.

Luxury classic 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 by his grandson Paride. All continue the family traditions and manage the factory. A significant milestone for the company occurred in the early 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when Modenese Gastone’s production became known in Russia and the CIS countries. This allowed for increased recognition and the design of increasingly new collections that are conquering the world.

In recent years, the number of employees in the manufactory has increased, and now it is a team of young professionals, who love Italian design and exclusive interiors. Today, Modenese Gastone is represented by people from 7 countries, and together they speak 16 languages. Modenese is a true heritage of Italian craftsmanship. A multi-generational brand producing top-class furniture for stylish interiors. Lots of classic elements, opulence, beautiful fabrics, materials, and baroque style. That’s exactly what Modenese is.

Italian furniture for classic salons and interiors – what does the production look like?

The production at Modenese Gastone involves careful selection of high-quality wood and precise processing of natural wood by our artisans. Only valuable wood species are used in the manufacturing process: noble varieties such as cherry, walnut, oak, and ash; also, only selected materials are used for inlays and veneers: radica (the part of the tree near the root), walnut, ash, mahogany, ensuring that the furniture surfaces are elegant and refined.

In the next stage, experienced carpenters prepare raw, hand-carved furniture. The entire carving process is done entirely by hand using traditional woodworking tools. The table tops, 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 rich palette of colors and a variety of wood textures.
