David Girelli

Girelli's diverse background in engineering, fashion, and interior design is evident in his remarkable furniture collections. Characterized by a minimalistic style, vibrant textured fabrics and leathers, and interlocking geometric shapes, his pieces showcase his unique aesthetic. He emphasizes traditional joinery techniques and prioritizes the use of natural materials, reflecting his design philosophy centred on honesty and beauty, a philosophy that sets him apart in the industry.

The debut collaborative collection, Contempo, is inspired by a cosmopolitan approach to design. Rooted in Scandinavian minimalism, Girelli infused it with his unique character and refined elegance, expressing his admiration for European architecture and Japanese artistry.

"As an author, my main focus is to strike a balance between aesthetics, functionality, and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that the pieces I create are not only beautiful but also conducive to comfortable living," states Girelli.

Girelli finds inspiration in the dynamic contemporary style and the elegant aesthetics of Art Deco, the last primary style of the 20th century, embodying refined luxury. This fusion is evident in the collection of chairs he specially crafted for Dantone Home. With streamlined bionic forms, curved legs, swift lines, and perfect symmetry, the silhouette of these chairs exudes bold yet clear geometry reminiscent of 1930s design, revitalized in the past decade.
