Gervasoni

Gervasoni Furniture: Italian Design Since 1882

Gervasoni is an Italian furniture brand with a history dating back to 1882. Founded in the province of Udine as a small artisan workshop specialising in wickerwork, the company has evolved over more than 140 years into an internationally recognised name in contemporary Italian furniture and interior design.

Natural materials, craftsmanship and experimentation remain central to the Gervasoni identity. Wicker, rattan, wood, textiles and other tactile materials are combined with contemporary production techniques to create furniture that feels relaxed and informal while retaining the quality and refinement associated with Italian design.

Today, the Gervasoni collection extends across sofas, modular seating, armchairs, beds, dining furniture, coffee tables, lighting and outdoor furniture. Long-standing collaborations with designers including Paola Navone have helped establish a distinctive design language based around comfort, natural materials, generous forms and interiors that feel considered without becoming overly formal.

Gervasoni Sofas and Modular Sofas

Gervasoni sofas combine generous comfort with an intentionally relaxed approach to contemporary Italian furniture. Rather than relying on rigid forms, many collections use soft cushions, loose upholstery, removable covers and understated structures to create seating designed for everyday living.

At RB12, the Gervasoni sofa collection includes the iconic Ghost Sofa, the Loll Sofa and the highly configurable Samet Modular Sofa. Each offers a different interpretation of relaxed contemporary seating, from the flowing removable covers of Ghost to the softer tailored profile of Loll and the flexible modular construction of Samet.

Gervasoni modular sofas are particularly suited to larger living rooms and open-plan spaces where individual elements can be arranged around the architecture of the room. Different configurations, fabrics and finishes also allow the finished sofa to be adapted more closely to the surrounding interior.

Gervasoni Ghost Sofa and Ghost Collection

The Gervasoni Ghost collection by Paola Navone is one of the brand's most recognisable furniture families. Its distinctive character comes from a light, minimal structure combined with soft cushions and an oversized removable cover finished with visible stitching.

The relaxed upholstery gives Ghost an informal appearance while also allowing the furniture to change character through different fabrics, colours and textures. Covers can be removed and replaced, making the collection particularly adaptable to interiors that may evolve over time.

RB12 offers several pieces from the Ghost collection, including the Ghost Sofa, Ghost Armchair, Ghost Sofa Bed and a selection of Ghost Beds. This allows the same distinctive textile-led design language to be carried from the living room into the bedroom.

Gervasoni Loll Sofas and Armchairs

The Gervasoni Loll collection, also designed by Paola Navone, focuses on generous comfort, soft geometry and carefully considered upholstery detailing. Sofas and armchairs are defined by a distinctive cut-and-sew seam that follows the outline of the furniture like a lightly drawn line.

At RB12, the collection includes the Loll Sofa, Loll Armchair and Loll Bed. Deep cushions and softly rounded forms make Loll particularly suited to relaxed contemporary interiors where comfort is as important as visual appearance.

The wider Loll collection also includes modular seating and dining chairs, allowing the same informal design language to extend across different areas of the home.

Gervasoni Samet Modular Sofa

The Gervasoni Samet Modular Sofa, designed by Federica Biasi, introduces an even more flexible approach to contemporary seating. Individual upholstered modules can be combined in numerous ways, creating anything from relatively conventional linear sofas to larger, more informal arrangements.

Soft geometric forms, quilting and detailed stitching give Samet a distinctive textile character, while the modular structure allows the composition to respond to different room sizes and ways of living. Different seat elements can be positioned together to create islands of seating, corner arrangements or more open configurations.

Samet is also available with removable upholstery and a broad choice of fabrics, giving the design considerable flexibility when specifying a sofa for an individual interior.

Gervasoni Beds and Bedroom Furniture

Gervasoni brings the same relaxed approach found in its sofas into the bedroom, with upholstered beds characterised by soft materials, generous proportions and understated forms.

RB12's Gervasoni bed collection includes several versions of the Ghost Bed, including the Ghost 80, Ghost 80 L, Ghost 81 and Ghost 82 S, alongside the Loll Bed. The removable textile cover of Ghost creates a particularly informal appearance and allows the bed to coordinate naturally with other upholstered furniture from the collection.

These designs are well suited to contemporary bedrooms where softer upholstery and natural textiles are used to balance harder architectural surfaces, timber flooring and other furniture.

Gervasoni Tables and Natural Materials

Material experimentation is a recurring feature throughout Gervasoni furniture. Rather than disguising the natural qualities of wood and other materials, many designs deliberately emphasise texture, irregularity and variation.

The Gervasoni Log Side Table is a clear example. Sections of beech trunk are used to create cylindrical occasional tables, with natural cracks and variations retained as part of the finished design. The result is a piece where the character of the original material remains visible rather than being engineered away.

Other tables available from RB12 include the sculptural Heiko Coffee Table, finished with a tactile clay surface, the woven Bolla Coffee Table and the Inout Dining Table, extending Gervasoni's material-led approach across both living and dining spaces.

Gervasoni Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor living has become an important part of the Gervasoni collection, with furniture designed for gardens, terraces and other exterior spaces. The brand brings many of the same natural materials, woven techniques and relaxed proportions found indoors into products developed specifically to withstand outdoor conditions.

The Inout collection by Paola Navone is one of Gervasoni's best-known outdoor furniture families. It includes tables, seating and accessories combining wood and traditional outdoor materials with technical materials designed to resist weathering, water and sunlight.

RB12 offers pieces including the Inout Dining Table and Inout Decorative Bottle, while the wider Gervasoni outdoor collection also includes sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, coffee tables and accessories suitable for contemporary gardens and terraces.

Gervasoni Lighting

Gervasoni lighting continues the brand's interest in natural materials and handcrafted surfaces. Pendant and floor lamps use materials such as woven wicker, rattan and metal to create atmospheric lighting that adds texture even when the light itself is switched off.

At RB12, the collection includes the Bolla Floor Lamp, Spin Floor Lamp, Spin Pendant and Brass Pendant. The Bolla lamp is particularly characteristic of Gervasoni, using woven natural fibres and a bottle-like silhouette to combine lighting with the visual presence of a decorative object.

These designs work particularly well alongside Gervasoni's upholstered furniture and natural timber pieces, helping create layers of softer light and material texture throughout living and dining spaces.

Customisable Gervasoni Furniture

Many Gervasoni sofas, armchairs and beds can be specified in a broad range of fabrics, materials and finishes. Upholstered collections such as Ghost, Loll and Samet are particularly flexible, allowing colour, texture and fabric choice to significantly change the character of the finished piece.

Removable covers are an important feature across several Gervasoni collections. The Ghost collection is specifically designed around an oversized removable cover, while Loll sofas and modular seating are also available with completely removable upholstery.

The RB12 team can help with dimensions, fabrics, finishes and sofa configurations when selecting Gervasoni furniture, particularly for modular or made-to-order pieces where there are numerous specification options available.
