Giancarlo earns his artistic license in the American West, where creative man-hours are embedded in the shapes of thousands of airplanes glimmering under intense heat awaiting their irrevocable meltdown in the desert bone yards of Arizona.
Similar to old prospectors spotting potential sites, Giancarlo delicately selects each airplane part that beams the brilliance of its engineered design.
Inspired to perpetuate their existence as the works of art they are, Giancarlo blends the splendor of each part with time-honored materials such as glass, metal and wood.
In the studio he refines his visualized piece, chooses harmonizing materials, begins to craft and the metamorphosis begins.
During this inventive process the part is renewed as a distinct and functional furniture piece... transformed, the airplane part serves a new purpose.
The resulting alchemy is simply the best in aeronautical art today!

Giancarlo crafts extraordinary designs that blend the unanticipated with traditional elements resulting in an alchemy that amazes the observer.
Educated in the arts in Florence and Rome, Italy, and having also lived in North Africa and Latin America for many years, Giancarlo's design influence is borne from cultures that revere beauty and environments that are living theatres of life. This exposure stimulates his sense of composition among materials, textures and colors that result in unpredictable designs.
Giancarlo recently opened a new design studio and showroom in the U.S. It is located in the Helms furniture district in Culver City, California. He also maintains a studio in Rome, Italy. The pieces can be seen by appointment: 310-839-2899.
