It is a kind of homage to many people who have worked on this brand for over 200 years!

A few words about history – because only then can we understand the meaning of producing exclusive 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, which has 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. This was solid, traditional craftsmanship that was essential at the time. From this seed, remarkable multi-generational manufactories emerged. 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 produced furniture has slightly changed according to buyers’ preferences. This is what truly shapes luxury brands – consistency and tradition!

An extremely important factor behind Modenese’s class are three unchanging aspects: classic Baroque style, solid wood as the primary material, and exclusively handcrafted production. This is their alphabet and foundation, which ultimately determines where they stand today 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 increased brand recognition and enabled the design of increasingly new collections that are conquering the world.

In recent years, the number of employees at the manufactory has grown, and now it is a team of young professionals who love Italian design and elegant interiors. Today, Modenese Gastone is represented by people from 7 countries, and all speak 16 languages together. Modenese is a true Italian craftsmanship heritage. A multi-generational brand producing top-class furniture for stylish interiors. A lot of classic, opulence, beautiful fabrics, materials, and Baroque style. That is exactly Modenese.

Italian furniture for luxury salons and interiors – how is production carried out?

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: noble varieties of cherry, walnut, oak, and ash; also, only selected materials are used for inlays and veneers: radica (the part of the tree close to 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.
