Foyer

Foyer

The Foyer conversation group is composed of three elements in different sizes. It was created under the sign of a balanced modernity that allows it to interact with all styles and different worlds. Foyer originates from a laminated load-bearing structure. Its tailoring quality and the use of modern materials make it extremely elegant. On request, it can be produced with an exposed zipper, making it easy to remove its “dress.”

AUTHOR BOX: S. Giobbi

He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Florence in the 1970s, then continued to collaborate there for ten years as assistant to Professor Leonardo Savioli. At the same time, he worked in design, collaborating with various furniture and furnishing accessory companies and taking part in important national competitions and exhibitions. Since then, he has gained experience in different sectors, creating everyday objects, tables, seating systems, beds, bathroom furniture, and lighting.

In design, his research focuses on two essential points: movement, used to make furnishing objects more functional and easier to use, and the search for new materials, working in molding technology in plastic, aluminum, and wood. His production for Giovannetti began in the 1990s; the architect’s design principles, together with attention to technological and stylistic innovation, made possible a significant and ongoing collaboration.
