A sip of history – because only then can we understand the essence of manufacturing luxury 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 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. That is, sturdy old craftsmanship that was essential at the time. From this seed, remarkable multi-generational manufactories arose. Their rhythm was set by simple tools and true craftsmen. After World War II, Modenese’s production gained great popularity not only locally but also abroad, primarily in Germany. The family has always remained faithful to their traditional style, even if the furniture produced has changed somewhat according to buyers’ preferences. This is what truly shapes an elite 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 stand 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 conquer 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 stylish 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 classic, opulence, beautiful fabrics, materials, and baroque elements. That is exactly what Modenese is.

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

The furniture 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, 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 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 surfaces, creating a beautiful palette of colors and a diversity of wood textures.

Unpolished, carved wooden furniture is handed over to the varnishing workshop. During the staining and finishing of the furniture composition, craftsmen use special spray diffusers to ensure that the color is as even as the finishing sample selected by the client. The lacquered furniture then proceeds to the next drying stage.

It's time to add some glamour to the furniture with gold, silver, bronze, and other leafing materials. {Throughout the entire|During the entire} production process, gilding is done manually: artisans apply a special adhesive to the decorated surface and cover it with a small piece of gold (silver, etc.). Then, using a special stiff brush, tiny pieces of gilding are pressed into the wooden surface. Depending on the desired level of gloss and density of the gold decoration, artisans use from 2-3 up to dozens of layers of gold in this process!

In the next stage of furniture decoration at Modenese Gastone, outstanding artists, graduates of the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, hand-paint the furniture to realize the most secret dreams of clients. Classic Venetian scenic motifs appear on wardrobe doors, and vibrant floral patterns bloom on table tops. Artists will paint custom designs on the furniture surface upon request.

After lacquering and decoration, all stylish sofas, exclusive armchairs, poufs, chairs, bed headboards, and wall panels are upholstered with high-quality fabrics. Then, all furniture undergoes three quality control phases. And this ultimately results in true and genuine luxury.

The quality of the wood, individual drying kilns for paints, artisanal carving, wood processing techniques, and the meticulous work of outstanding craftsmen and artists guarantee the highest quality of the final Modenese Gastone product!
