Acclaimed Italian interior artist Gio Bressana on Thursday announced his first Middle East showroom in the UAE’s creative hub, Dubai Design District (D3).
A pioneering master in the fusion of historical art styles including Baroque, Gothic, Neoclassical, Impressionism, Liberty, and Modernism, the showroom presents Bressana’s first art and design interiors concept, ‘The Hidden Garden’.
Featuring a fresco mural that captures the artist’s creative flair, the wall showcases an ethereal garden reminiscent of 19th-century Oriental botanical rice paper paintings.
“I am excited to be opening our first showroom outside of Italy in Dubai, a growing international hub for the arts,” Gio Bressana said.
“In ‘The Hidden Garden’, I see the environments of our homes through a lens, capturing the colours, shapes, and deep connection I feel with nature. It’s all about harmonizing materials with the concept of sustainability to create spaces that nurture both physical and mental well-being,” he said.
Bressana said he wanted to create a three-dimensional space where people can be truly immersed and feel the emotion of the room and the artist.
A curated blend of beauty and functionality, the studio’s capsule of 10 unique furniture pieces was designed by Bressana and his creative design partner Simonne Chevalier and handcrafted by Italian artisans.
The capsule includes a lamp meticulously made from burned stones to resemble a flowering Magnolia tree and two coffee tables made from rock crystal and semi-precious stones.
An ethereal sofa evokes the timeless elegance of Coromandel lacquer screens reminiscent of Coco Chanel’s iconic designs.
Complementing these remarkable pieces are two sculptures of a bear and a bag, as well as an elegant table made of white onyx with legs hand-painted by Gio himself.
