gateway to design... literally...



It's not very common for doors to be an element of design- but for Iosa Ghini- the possibilities are endless.  Each of his door designs explore a textural approach to the door panel, addressing the potential and material properties of that from which is was created.....

*The Fiorella door was designed to express a concept of lightness on the surface while rendering itself almost invisible to the eye. (The petals mirror an idea of femininity)  Available in 2 styles: an opaque white with engraved lines extended into the frame OR a glazed door that plays on light and shadow.

*The Pia door has a leather surface and contrast quilting (evoking an idea of tailoredness).  Available in either black or sand.  Accompanied by an aluminum frame, this door was designed to be conceptually modern.

*The Graffiata door has an appearance of a linen textile and includes scratched geometric depths.  This was an attempt (according to the designer) to express the true soul of wood.

....Ghini has also collaborated with manufacturers to create a door that addresses security concerns discretely while providing a clean-modern design that can be personalized. (Called the Monolite)
