ELIE SAAB Maison and GIOBAGNARA have teamed up to create a stunning home accessories collection that combines Italian craftsmanship with haute couture elegance. This exclusive line, made in Italy, features over two dozen handcrafted designs that bring sophistication and practicality to the home.
For the discerning gentleman looking to enhance his living space, this collection offers a range of items that combine functionality with timeless style. From intricately crafted leather trays and valet boxes to elegant chess sets with Carrara and Marquina marble pieces, each piece is designed to enhance everyday life.
The collection showcases GIOBAGNARA’s renowned leatherwork, adorned with the signature ELIE SAAB monogram. Items such as table lamps wrapped in monogrammed leather add a touch of glamour to any space, reflecting the growing trend towards minimalist luxury with neutral tones and vibrant accents.
“This collaboration highlights our versatility in luxury home decor, allowing clients to experience GIOBAGNARA’s craftsmanship throughout their homes,” said Giorgio Bagnara, CEO and founder of GIOBAGNARA. He started the Genoa-based company in the 1990s with a vision to bring fashion materials into the home.
ELIE SAAB echoed this sentiment: “Together, we are introducing an exclusive collection of home accessories that combines functionality with timeless design. By diversifying into complementary product lines, we further strengthen our brand’s presence within the world of sophisticated living“.
Founded in 1982 as a couture house in Beirut, Lebanon, ELIE SAAB is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. Known for creations that embody a fusion of Eastern and Western influences, characterized by luxurious fabrics, intricate embroidery and a refined color palette, the brand’s expansion into home accessories brings its signature elegance to everyday living.
Since branching into interior design in 2019 through a licensing agreement with Swiss home design company Corporate Brand, ELIE SAAB Maison has been involved in real estate projects around the world. Branded villas and residences in key cities, such as Dubai, Doha, São Paulo and London, offer customers a complete lifestyle experience in line with their refined tastes.
Founded in 1999 by Giorgio Bagnara, GIOBAGNARA is known for elegant and luxurious creations that embody sophistication without ostentation. Upholding the highest standards of Made in Italy craftsmanship, the brand blends traditional techniques with cutting-edge technologies. With an extensive range of high quality leathers and suedes, GIOBAGNARA pushes the boundaries of leather craftsmanship, offering innovative and functional designs.
Over the years, the company has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of brands such as Rabitti1969, specializing in saddle leathers, and Pigment France, known for its expertise in leather upholstery and artisanal wicker, rattan and straw weaving. In 2017, GIOBAGNARA began a strategic collaboration with French designer Stéphane Parmentier, who became creative director, further enhancing its luxury appeal. The addition of Italian luxury lifestyle brand Riviere to their portfolio in 2022, reinforced GIOBAGNARA’s commitment to Made in Italy craftsmanship and international leadership in the luxury sector.
“This collaboration has allowed us to explore new creative possibilities while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship GIOBAGNARA is known for,” said Giorgio Bagnara. The partnership with ELIE SAAB Maison is an important step that allows both brands to combine their strengths and offer unique products to a discerning clientele.
Earlier this month, GIOBAGNARA unveiled a collection with Los Angeles interior designer Kelly Wearstler, marking its debut in the world of bar accessories. This demonstrates GIOBAGNARA’s ongoing efforts to collaborate with leading designers and expand its offering in the luxury home market.
For those interested in understated sophistication, the ELIE SAAB Maison and GIOBAGNARA collections are available in select showrooms and boutiques, offering the opportunity to experience the fusion of haute couture and Italian craftsmanship firsthand.
