Since 1977 G.T.DESIGN has been designing and producing objects with complete respect for man and the environment. In the 80s and 90s, Deanna Comellini, designer and art director, and Michele Preti, alongside her at the head of the company, embarked upon a route that would take them towards the idea of non-perfect design, therefore, authentic, real and emotional. The investment made into research on materials and textile structures led to the discovery of the previously unexpressed potential of this hazily-defined industry. For G.T.DESIGN the textile element of the home, be it a rug or a furnishing accessory, becomes expressive and different, far removed from the standardization of industrialized productions. Making innovations in the textile environment means starting from the individual and from gestures. This is why we take into account, at project level, the free interpretation which everyone can contribute that brings forth inconsistencies, imperfections, manual workmanship and the direct pleasure of the material. G.T.DESIGN has been an active member of Children Care & Fair, an international association dedicated to the protection of children’s rights, since 1997. The rug is the earth upon which we are born. It resembles us. It’s the first element around which we build an intimate and domestic area. It represents the fragrance, habits and poetics of a home. The rug is an archaic symbol which, for G.T.DESIGN, becomes contemporary, everyday, the sign which materializes the confines of personal space. The rug assumes a functionality free from conventions and renewed figurative power.
