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

The history 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 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. That is, sturdy old craftsmanship that was essential at the time. From this seed, excellent multi-generational manufactories arose. Their rhythm was dictated by simple tools and true craftsmen. After World War II, Modenese’s production gained greater popularity not only locally but also abroad, primarily in Germany. The family remains faithful to their traditional style, even if the produced furniture changes slightly according to buyers’ preferences. This is what truly shapes an exclusive brand – consistency and tradition!

A very important factor behind Modenese’s class are three unchanging aspects: baroque classicism, solid wood as the primary material, and exclusively handmade production. This is their alphabet and foundation, which ultimately determines where they are now and what they aim for.

Today, the brand’s success 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 factory employees has grown, and now it is a team of young professionals who love Italian design and luxurious 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. A lot of classicism, opulence, beautiful fabrics, materials, and baroque elements. That is exactly what Modenese is.

Furniture from Italy for exclusive and classic salons – what does the production process look like?

The production of furniture 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, for inlays and veneers, only selected materials are used: radica (the part of the tree near the root), walnut, ash, mahogany, ensuring 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 carpentry tools. 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 colors and a variety of wood textures.
