Meet the Owner of Da Vinci Furniture
The enigmatic and luxurious world of high-end furniture isallenge enough to navigate, but when the name "Leonardo da Vinci" is thrown into the mix, things get even more intriguing. Welcome to the captivating realm of Da Vinci Furniture, where art, history, and craftsmanship intertwine to create something truly extraordinary.
Established by Italian entrepreneur Andrea Zanollo, Da Vinci Furniture is not just a furniture brand; it's a tribute to the genius of the Renaissance master himself, Leonardo da Vinci. By interpreting Leonardo's sketches and frescos, Zanollo has breathed new life into some of the most iconic designs of all time, crafting them into functional, everyday pieces that still manage to evoke the grandeur of centuries past.
Da Vinci Furniture: A Blend of Art and Function
At its core, Da Vinci Furniture is a harmonious fusion of art and functionality. Each piece is meticulously designed to reflect the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci's original sketches, while also serving a practical purpose in the modern home or office.
This commitment to duality is evident throughout the collection. Take, for instance, the iconic 'Vitruvian Man' sketch. Da Vinci Furniture has translated this symbol of harmony and proportion into a striking coffee table, where the intricate human form forms the table's base, supporting a tempered glass top.
The Ascoli Table
The Ascoli Table, another standout piece, draws inspiration from Leonardo's sketch of an 'optical illusion' courtyard. The table's unique design - featuring intersecting circles that create a mesmerizing 3D effect - is a testament to da Vinci's fascination with perspective and Optical art.
Crafted with exacting detail, the Ascoli Table exemplifies Da Vinci Furniture's commitment to upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship. The table's glass top is cold worked and polished by hand, while the aluminum base is precision machined for a flawless finish.
The Armillary Sphere Tables
Some of Da Vinci's most profound influences can be seen in the Armillary Sphere Tables. These elegant pieces are inspired by the ancient navigational instrument, with the table's glass top representing the celestial sphere and the polished aluminum base, the Earth.
Function meets art in these tables, with their dynamic design allowing for adjustable height, making them suitable for either standing or dining. They are also available in a coffee table variation, further showcasing Da Vinci Furniture's dedication to versatility and adaptability.
Beyond Furniture: Da Vinci Licensing and Art
Yet Da Vinci Furniture's influence extends far beyond the realm of furniture. With exclusive global licensing rights to more than 250 of Leonardo's drawings and paintings, the company has collaborated with brands across sectors, from fashion and home textiles to gift items and publishing.
Through these partnerships, Da Vinci Furniture is able to share Leonardo's timeless art and vision with a wider audience, educating and inspiring a new generation of art lovers and enthusiasts.
Limited Edition Art Collections
Beyond licensing, Da Vinci Furniture also boasts its own curated art collections. The 'Atelier' collection, for example, features high-end, hand-crafted reproductions of Leonardo's most revered works, like the 'Vitruvian Man' and 'Monolighting'. Each piece is authentically crafted using traditional materials and techniques, offering an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a piece of history.
The 'Color Me Leonardo' collection stands out for its unique approach to art presentation. By isolating colors from Leonardo's masterpieces, Da Vinci Furniture has created vibrant, abstract interpretations that invite viewers to reinterpret the world through da Vinci's eyes.
Inuditably, Da Vinci Furniture is not merely a business; it's a labor of love, a passionate celebration of Leonardo da Vinci's enduring influence on art, design, and human ingenuity.
