When the Beatles released The White Album in 1968, they captured the essence of a generation in search of freedom and renewal. Among its most intimate songs, ‘Blackbird’ stood out as a delicate hymn to hope and resilience, sung by Paul McCartney with just voice and guitar.

The track became more than music: it was an emblem of the sixties, of the Beat Generation’s desire to break free from convention and to rediscover authenticity
through simplicity. A song of lightness and depth, at once fragile and enduring.

The Blackbird coffee tables, casual in form yet bold in presence, evoke the same balance of freedom and structure. A design that, like the song, transforms simplicity into timeless resonance.

“Blackbird
Singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly”

From the revered Calacatta family, Notre Dame marble emerges from Vietnam's
storied quarries.

Its creamy-white canvas is streaked with blush-pink whisperings and bold black-grey veins, a poetic fusion of geological drama and refined luxury.

Each slab is a narrative of the natural artistry of time.

In crafting our collections, we intimately engage with the soul of each stone, carefully interpreting its distinctive veins and nuanced palette.

The Notre Dame marble, gracefully articulated into unique design pieces, emerges as an unrepeatable statement.

Each creation writing its own compelling chapter within the evolving dialogue between nature's artistry and human ingenuity.

In the 1960s, society experienced a real youth uprising that rejected conventions and conservative models. Not homologation according to rigid patterns, but freedom of aesthetic expression.

This is a tribute to the era of contamination between the arts, of the spasmodic search for the new, of experimentation and complete liberation from the mold. It is a still image that wants to reread that moment of the Beat Generation.

The Souvenir armchair is a tribute to Pierre Jeanneret’s significant contributions to furniture design, a master whose simple yet radical stylistic and technical gestures gave life to objects that transcend time and memory.

As a testament to the enduring influence of his work, GIOPAGANI has skillfully reimagined this iconic piece, bringing material authenticity back to the forefront. The structure, crafted in solid Elm wood, is enhanced through sandblasting and natural stains that exalt the grain’s raw beauty and organic movement.

Final checks before the journey begins.

Souvenir armchairs are prepared with the same attention given from the first cut of wood to the last seam. A thorough process where detail is never overlooked, and authenticity is always preserved.

Souvenir is born in the workshop, through a process where design research intertwines with the discipline of manual skill. It is here that ideas take shape in wood, guided by the knowledge of gestures handed down and perfected over time.

Every passage becomes a moment of interpretation rather than standardization, where the hand of the craftsman gives matter its singular identity.

In this journey lies the rediscovery of authentic savoir-faire: an artisanal practice rooted in patience and precision, where the detail is not just executed but cared for, touched, and purposefully brought to life by experienced hand.

A fragment of memory.

“Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Oh, baby
You’re so Vicious”
