In 2007, Marzia and Leonardo Dainelli founded the Design Studio Dainelli. They set up shop in the heart of Tuscany, in a traditional rustic house that they modernized from the ground up. The perfect location for giving their creativity free rein and reviving their design credo: bringing back the appearance of forms of bygone eras and emphasizing the simplicity of the features.
Impressions, emotions, travels, and observations that have been collected, as well as the needs of the customer, influence designer Leonardo Dainelli in brainstorming. It is a process that is driven by impressions that lead to the starting point: the hand-drawn sketch. The path to the finished product is a very long one, but at the end, according to Dainelli, “true satisfaction” is achieved.
SELVA and the Design Studio Dainelli combine the necessity of keeping alive tradition and handcrafted quality. Thus a harmonious collaboration has come into existence which reflects the designer’s spirit and the furniture manufacturer’s history. Leonardo Dainelli created eight furniture creations for SELVA by experimenting with forms and masse. Memories of times gone by are awakened, and yet something new is created.
