Handmade. One by one.
Each Mario Gagliardi chair and table and each De Caldes rug was designed to create a lasting connection with it's future owner. A rug or a chair should not be a soulless object, it should enrich the spaces you live your life in. The way a rug or piece of furniture is ideated and created influences how you connect to it. Therefore each Mario Gagliardi interior object and De Caldes rug is individually handmade by our accomplished craftspeople and artisans where soulful workmanship is still alive - in our workshops in India. From the first sketch until the last finishing touch, Mario and his team collaborate with the artisans and accompany the process of manufacturing.
For our upholstery, we use our own fabrics, individually sculpted padding and elaborate traditional methods including internal springs and hand-stitched covers.
Our fabrics are created in harmony with their natural properties. Our rare silks are handwoven on wooden looms, our natural cottons are hand-dyed, and our fabric mixes are specially created to accentuate natural material properties.
Our rugs are handwoven or handtufted with 100% New Zealand Wool or pure Cotton. Intricate material inlays and masterful carving create patterns, luster and structure.
Our brass and silver objects are hand-cast or hand-hammered, welded and polished for structure and luster.
Our cabinetmakers take care of each single Mario & Casa piece of furniture. Wooden objects are sewn, joined, polished and finished by hand.
