It’s Design Time in Milano – Ghisò and the week of design

As Milano is getting ready for the launch of its most important and celebrated event of the year, I would love to think and present Ghisò approach to design.
Since its creation, Ghisò has always used design to outline and enhance the natural beauty of materials that are used in our products.
In our boxes, hinges are hidden, thanks to a sophisticated construction model, to show beauty of wood veins and original colors. The shoe horn is so simply designed that it looks like naturally carved out from a massive piece of wood, form wind and weather, while in reality the design of our architects have drawn lines of exact proportions and dimensions.

Astonishing example of our interpretation of design, the Chess games positions itself immediately as the king of games. The box, acts as chessboard, its cover being assembled by hand from Makassar ebony and maple wood. Each pawn is handmade, from boxwood and black ebony. The design exquisitely retro, with a certain formality of the art deco style.
