since 1939

From the Archive
The archive preserves the forms. The present carries the research forward.
Drawings, models, catalogues and photographs reveal the ideas, methods and experiments that have shaped Gabbianelli. Objects, surfaces and collaborations have changed over time, but the attitude remains the same: to keep exploring what ceramics can become.
Gabbianelli brings together research, artisanal expertise and industrial production. Its story has been shaped by collaborations with artists, architects and designers such as Gio Ponti, Lucio Fontana, Enzo Mari and Bruno Munari. Today, selected objects from the archive return to production in their original forms, bringing this culture of design into everyday life.
Ceramics are a starting point, not a boundary. Over time, objects, surfaces and systems have opened up new possibilities for formal, technical and material experimentation. Each project retains its own distinct character while contributing to a clear and recognizable identity.
