Studio Simon

Dino Gavina began his career in the 40’s working on stage sets, a great passion of his. He was convinced that design needed to be both modern and richly poetic, and soon began to gain support from many of the coun­try’s leading design­ers and archi­tects: ​“fathers of the country”, as he jokingly refers to them, includ­ing Carlo Scarpa, Enzo Mari, Marcel Breuer, to name but a few. 

His work in those years was an impor­tant start­ing point for what then came to be known as Italian Style, and has since come to stand for top quality, giving Italian design the pres­ti­gious repu­ta­tion that it still known for today through­out the whole world.
