Combining the multifaceted craftsmanship typical of Venice: this was the initial idea of Luciano Gambaro behind L’ombra della Forcola, a project based on the unusual contamination between the art of Murano glass, interpreted by the master Matteo Tagliapietra, and the art of remèr, represented by the master Piero Dri. Together with the oar, the forcola is the “command bridge” of the gondola, as well as of all the traditional rowing boats that silently navigate the lagoon and canals of Venice.

Secolo means forward-thinking aesthetics, Italian manufacturing, quality materials and the chance to own a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind
Established in 2018, Secolo is a contemporary design brand founded by three partners with a background in interior design and architecture. A unique blend of ideas, a desire to push the boundaries and an unwavering ambition to create something unseen set Secolo apart from other brands on the market.
Today, Secolo operates out of bases in both Milan and London with a production hub in the manufacturing region of Tolentino, Italy which acts as the logistical center of the various artisans, suppliers and manufacturers that make up Secolo’s production line.
Secolo understands the importance of slow manufacturing, not just for the impact it makes on the environment, but also to ensure complete attention-to-detail on every piece. Secolo knows that the only way to achieve the highest quality end product is to pay close attention to every step along the way, from locally sourced materials, to skilled artisans with generations of experience, all the way to the wrapping, boxing and shipping.
Despite the traditional heritage of its manufacturing chain, Secolo is anything but a traditional furniture brand. Inspired by the forward-thinking world of collectible design, Secolo products are a unique combination of sculptural forms, functional elements and elegant detailing. While the forms of each Secolo piece come from years of experimentation via the hands and minds of Artefatto Design Studio, the design of each piece is finished by the client. With every Secolo product customisable in a huge number of finishes, materials and fabrics, you are completely free to create something truly one-of-a-kind. Secolo even has a digital configurator which allows you to configure products, test out material combinations and see every product in 360 degrees.
These 3 elements, quality Italian manufacturing, unique ideas born from experimentation and the freedom to make it your own make up Secolo’s DNA; they are what sets Secolo apart and what allows the brand to continue to evolve year on year.
