Gervasoni Italian Furniture for Indoor and Outdoor Living

Gervasoni creates contemporary Italian furniture distinguished by relaxed elegance, expressive materials and exceptional comfort. Founded in 1882, the family company combines more than 140 years of craftsmanship with an experimental approach to natural, industrial and technical materials.

The Gervasoni collection includes sofas, modular seating, armchairs, dining chairs, tables, beds, storage furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories for indoor and outdoor environments. Iconic collections such as Ghost, Gray, Nuvola and Inout reflect an unmistakable style that feels informal, sophisticated and deeply personal.

Scott + Cooner helps homeowners, architects and interior designers select and customize Gervasoni furniture for residential, hospitality and commercial projects.

Italian Craftsmanship Since 1882

Gervasoni began in the province of Udine, Italy, as the Premiata Società Friulana per l’Industria di Vimini, an artisan workshop specializing in wickerwork.

The business passed into the hands of Giovanni Gervasoni in 1925 and developed across successive generations into an internationally recognized furniture company. Its origins in woven natural materials continue to influence the brand’s interest in texture, manual processes and unconventional material combinations.

Over time, Gervasoni expanded from wicker furniture into complete indoor and outdoor collections. The company now brings together traditional craftsmanship, advanced manufacturing and collaborations with designers from different cultural and creative backgrounds.

This evolution has produced a distinctive interpretation of Italian design—refined but never rigid, expressive without appearing overstated, and always connected to the way furniture is experienced in daily life.

Informal Elegance for Contemporary Interiors

Gervasoni furniture often appears effortless, but its relaxed quality is supported by careful attention to proportion, materials and construction.

Generous cushions, softly draped upholstery, textured surfaces and unexpected finishes create interiors that feel welcoming rather than overly formal. Clean structural elements provide balance, allowing expressive fabrics and natural materials to remain visually composed.

The collection moves easily between contrasting influences. Nordic simplicity can meet Mediterranean warmth, while industrial metal is paired with woven fibers, stone, wood or soft upholstery.

This ability to combine apparent opposites gives Gervasoni furniture its recognizable character and allows individual pieces to complement a broad range of architectural styles.

Paola Navone and Gervasoni

Designer and architect Paola Navone played a defining role in Gervasoni’s development beginning in the 1990s. Her eclectic and unconventional approach helped carry the company into a new period of international design while preserving its connection to craftsmanship and material exploration.

Navone’s work draws from travel, vernacular objects, traditional techniques and everyday life. Rather than following a strict aesthetic system, she brings different references together through color, texture and proportion.

For Gervasoni, she created some of the company’s most recognizable collections, including Ghost, Gray, Nuvola, Inout and Jeko. These designs share an informal sophistication but differ significantly in material, form and function.

Her collaboration demonstrates how a strong creative identity can extend across sofas, chairs, tables, beds and outdoor furniture without making every product look alike.

The Iconic Ghost Sofa

The Ghost collection by Paola Navone is one of Gervasoni’s defining designs. It is built around lightweight, essential structures softened by generous cushions and distinctive removable covers.

The oversized cover, or housse, falls loosely over the furniture and is outlined by visible stitching. This relaxed tailoring gives the Ghost sofa its recognizable silhouette while making the upholstery easy to remove and change.

Different fabrics can transform the same design from casual to refined. Linen and cotton emphasize its informal quality, while richer or more structured textiles create a more polished presence.

Ghost sofas are available in numerous dimensions and configurations, including modular and sofa-bed versions. The wider family includes armchairs, ottomans, chairs, beds and headboards, making it possible to carry the collection’s textile language throughout the home.

Ghost Modular Sofas and Sofa Beds

Ghost modular seating allows the collection’s comfort and relaxed appearance to be adapted to rooms of different sizes.

Individual elements can be combined into linear sofas, corner arrangements and generous lounge compositions. Loose cushions and soft upholstery create an inviting setting for conversation, reading and everyday relaxation.

Ghost sofa beds add sleeping functionality while preserving the collection’s recognizable appearance. Available in multiple sizes, these convertible models can support guest rooms, home offices and multifunctional living spaces.

Because the covers are removable, upholstery can be maintained or refreshed as the interior evolves. This adaptability is especially valuable in homes and hospitality spaces where flexibility and long-term use are important.

Nuvola Sofas and Armchairs

Nuvola is characterized by deep seats, high arms and exceptionally soft, rounded volumes. Its name means “cloud” in Italian, reflecting the collection’s enveloping appearance and cocoon-like comfort.

The generous upholstery creates an informal silhouette that changes according to the selected fabric. Substantial textiles emphasize the sculptural form, while lightweight cottons and linens settle more loosely against the structure.

Nuvola sofas and armchairs are suited to living rooms, private lounges and hospitality settings where comfort is a central priority. Their compact visual identity can create a distinctive focal point without requiring an elaborate furniture composition.

The Gray Collection

Paola Navone’s Gray collection combines the elegance of traditional furniture with the simplicity of Nordic design.

Built primarily around solid ash, the collection includes dining chairs, lounge chairs, sofas, tables, coffee tables, benches, desks and rocking chairs. Familiar furniture types are reinterpreted through contemporary proportions and unexpected material combinations.

Stone, porcelain, aluminum and marble introduce contrast against the wood. These elements give the collection a collected, residential character rather than the appearance of a rigidly coordinated furniture suite.

Gray works especially well in dining rooms, libraries and living spaces where natural materials and recognizable forms are desired within a contemporary setting.

Gervasoni Sofas and Modular Seating

Beyond Ghost and Nuvola, Gervasoni offers a broad range of sofas and modular systems with different approaches to comfort, tailoring and proportion.

Some designs emphasize deep cushioning and informal upholstery, while others use more controlled lines for compact or architectural interiors. Modular elements allow seating to be configured around room dimensions, circulation and daily activities.

A large sectional can anchor an open-plan living room, while a stand-alone sofa may be better suited to a smaller space or a formal conversation area. Ottomans, benches and occasional tables can complete the arrangement without making it feel overly symmetrical.

The extensive fabric collection allows each sofa to be adapted through color, texture and performance characteristics.

Dining Chairs and Tables

Gervasoni dining furniture brings natural materials, craftsmanship and subtle variation into spaces for gathering.

Dining chairs range from upholstered designs to wood and woven constructions. Tables are available in different scales and forms, incorporating materials such as wood, stone, metal, marble and technical surfaces.

Rather than treating every component as part of a matching set, Gervasoni encourages a more layered approach. A substantial wood table might be paired with lighter chairs, or a restrained table can balance seating with greater texture and color.

This flexibility allows dining areas to feel personal and collected while maintaining a coherent relationship between materials and proportions.

Gervasoni Beds and Bedroom Furniture

Gervasoni extends its relaxed approach into the bedroom through upholstered beds, headboards, bedside tables, storage furniture and lighting.

Ghost beds translate the collection’s removable, softly draped cover into a comfortable bedroom setting. Multiple sizes and configurations allow the design to respond to primary bedrooms, guest rooms and hospitality suites.

Textile choices can significantly change the bed’s character. Neutral linen creates a serene, informal atmosphere, while richer textures and deeper colors introduce greater visual weight.

Complementary tables, lighting and accessories complete the room without sacrificing the light, unforced quality associated with the brand.

Natural and Industrial Materials

Material contrast is central to Gervasoni’s identity. The company combines natural, contemporary, exotic and technical materials while respecting the individual qualities of each.

Wood may retain visible grain and irregularity rather than being made completely uniform. Wicker, rattan and woven fibers connect the collection to Gervasoni’s origins. Stone and ceramic introduce mineral depth, while metal provides structural precision and contrast.

Textiles play an equally important role. Linen, cotton, velvet, bouclé and performance fabrics give upholstered furniture different levels of softness, structure and visual richness.

The luxury of a Gervasoni piece comes from the entire design and production process—from material selection and workmanship to comfort and final appearance.

Gervasoni Outdoor Furniture

Gervasoni Outdoor brings the warmth and comfort of an interior room into gardens, terraces and poolside spaces.

The collection includes outdoor sofas, modular seating, armchairs, rocking chairs, daybeds, dining furniture, occasional tables, rugs, lighting and accessories. Natural and technical materials are selected to withstand exterior conditions while developing distinctive tactile character.

Rather than applying one visual language to every outdoor product, Gervasoni explores multiple atmospheres. Some collections feel architectural and restrained, while others use recovered wood, woven rope or soft upholstery to create a more informal environment.

This variety makes the outdoor range appropriate for urban terraces, coastal homes, country gardens, hotels and resorts.

Ghost Out

Ghost Out adapts the character of the indoor Ghost collection for exterior use.

The furniture retains its understated structure, soft cushions and generously fitted covers while incorporating technical features developed to resist water and sunlight. Sofas, modular seating, chairs and armchairs can be combined to create comfortable open-air living spaces.

Ghost Out is particularly effective on covered terraces and patios where clients want the softness of upholstered indoor furniture with materials designed for exterior applications.

The collection also creates visual continuity between connected living rooms and outdoor seating areas.

The Inout Collection

Inout explores the relationship between interior and exterior living through a diverse selection of chairs, tables, seating and accessories.

The collection combines natural and industrial materials, often using wood, ceramic, concrete, metal and woven elements in unexpected ways. Its pieces are designed to mix rather than form one uniform suite.

This varied material palette is well suited to layered outdoor environments. A sculptural table can be paired with simple seating, while smaller objects introduce color and texture.

The Inout collection embodies Gervasoni’s ability to create relaxed compositions that feel refined without becoming overly formal.

Jeko and Reclaimed Teak

The Jeko collection by Paola Navone draws inspiration from exotic travel and traditional wood construction.

Its furniture uses ECOTeak derived from reclaimed teak beams and architectural components recovered from traditional wooden houses on the Indonesian island of Java. The material is repaired, assembled, sanded and polished while preserving its original grain and variations.

Jeko includes sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, sun loungers and canopied daybeds. Its substantial wood structures and clean forms allow the material’s history to remain visible.

The collection is especially suited to exterior environments where natural textures can connect the furniture to surrounding architecture and landscape.

Outdoor Collections by Contemporary Designers

Gervasoni works with contemporary designers to develop outdoor furniture that responds to different ways of relaxing and gathering.

Flair by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti is a modular system composed of upholstered elements in varied geometric shapes. Adjustable backrests allow the configuration and skyline to change according to use.

Hashi by Federica Biasi combines a minimal iroko structure with woven outdoor textile, drawing inspiration from Japanese forms and craft traditions.

Guna by Chiara Andreatti includes outdoor rugs, cushions, charpoys and occasional tables influenced by cross-cultural weaving and low, informal seating.

These collections broaden the outdoor catalog while maintaining Gervasoni’s interest in material, texture and unconventional comfort.

Customization and Bespoke Furniture

Gervasoni offers extensive opportunities for customization through fabrics, finishes, dimensions and material combinations.

Removable covers allow many upholstered designs to change appearance over time. Wood, metal and mineral surfaces may be selected to coordinate with architectural materials and the wider interior palette.

For specialized projects, Gervasoni can also evaluate bespoke requirements, including adjusted dimensions or finishes. This capability is particularly valuable for hospitality, restaurant and residential projects with specific spatial or performance needs.

Professional guidance helps ensure that each specification balances aesthetics, comfort, maintenance and intended use.

Residential and Contract Projects

Gervasoni furniture is suited to private residences as well as hotels, resorts, restaurants, offices and retail environments.

Its sofas and lounge chairs bring residential comfort to hospitality settings. Dining chairs and tables support restaurants and communal areas, while beds and accessories can create distinctive guest rooms.

The company’s broad range makes it possible to furnish indoor and outdoor areas with a related sensibility without repeating the same design language throughout the project.

For architects and interior designers, technical resources and customization options support detailed specification across different project types.
