Santiago Gonzalez Designs For Salone del Mobile
Santiago Gonzalez is not only a great connoisseur and collector of exquisite furniture, now he can say he designs it too. Gonzalez, son of handbag designer Nancy Gonzalez and president of the family business, was invited by Wallpaper magazine to collaborate with designer Aldo Bakker. They created a wooden stool, completely covered with a very rare alligator skin (the Gonzalez signature.) It is on display at Milan’s Salone del Mobile this week. The Wallpaper Handmade series occupies Palazzo Brioni during the design fair.
“Handmade is a testimony to great design, talent and ideas, and the determination to achieve the extraordinary,” said Wallpaper editor in chief Tony Chambers. “We are once again celebrating beautiful new friendships and beautiful new things.”
The stool celebrates the aesthetic codes of Santiago Gonzalez, which are the purity, balance and composition you see in his men’s accessories line. Wouldn’t it look wonderful in a man’s study, or a gentleman’s dressing room?
