Placing people at the centre of his work

  • • Giuseppe's furniture creates peaceful environments
  • • For him, imperfection is important
  • • He has a holistic approach to cabinetmaking

Giuseppe Rivadossi, born in the Brescia region of the Alps in northern Italy, sculptor and craftsman, began to transform his father's workshop in the 1960s. Giuseppe's signature is his poetic vision in cabinetmaking: "My aim is to create environments where hospitality, a sense of gratitude, and beauty are still felt and alive.” The focus of his work is on people's lives, the architecture they want to live in and their relationship with this environment. For some years Giuseppe and his sons have embarked on a new creative adventure with HABITO, where they create works with a recognisable character. Their furniture pieces showcase not only their mastery of the craft, but also the beauty of the wood they use and their original sense for design.
