VALENTINA GIOVANDO is an Italian artist, lives and works in the small cozy town of Sarzana, Liguria, and for over 20 years has dedicated herself to the production of a new style, personal and full of splendour, declined in the interior decoration through a range of high-craft artistic products. Pieces of furniture, furnishing accessories, chandeliers and lamps, but above all suggestions, atmospheres, craftsmanship and Italian refinement. Behind each creation by Valentina Giovando there is a unique world, a life style, a research that goes through the history of design, interior decoration, fashion and the history of art and literature, a research that translates into furniture, chandeliers and design works. The influences are a lot: a sophisticated Parisian interior from the 1700s, the sinuous figures of an art nouveau window, the refined stage clothes of an actress of the 1800s, a medieval or samurai suit, but also the art of African people with their jewels and tribal texture, the exoticism of colonial atmospheres or the elements coming from the natural, animal and vegetal word. Everything contributes to create unique and original pieces that mix ancient and modern, primitive and industrial, poor and precious materials, in a fascinating mix, by the capable Valentinaʼs and her artisanal team hands.
