Gervasoni - Cushion for Guna 01

Chiara Andreatti designs the GUNA outdoor furniture collection consisting of carpets, charpoys, cushions and coffee tables with a strong multi-ethnic inspiration. Guna is a Sanskrit term meaning "energy that envelops all things", from the Indo-European root gere, "envelopment", used to denote a single string used to make a woven rope. A name that conveys the profound meaning of the collection: a weave of yarns, stitches and textures, as well as inspirations, relationships and cultures all underpin the project by the designer.

After graduating in Industrial Design from the IED in 2003 and completing a master's degree at the Domus Academy, he worked with Raffaella Mangiarotti and Renato Montagner. From 2006 to 2017 he worked for Lissoni Associati, following independent projects in parallel. His continuous aesthetic research aims to combine the typical craft culture of his Venetian roots with industrial design in the idea that a poetic touch can enrich everyday objects.
