who we are
Gonzagarredi has been designing, manufacturing and marketing innovative and custom furniture for nurseries, schools, book and media libraries and cultural centers since 1975.
Primary and secondary schools
Furnishings designed to create functional environments in primary and secondary schools
COMPAGNIA DI SAN PAOLO / A. GUERMANI
Nurseries and preschools
Natural wood and desaturated colors are intentionally used to prevent color from intruding into the child’s perceptive experience to an excessive extent. Since they are so delicate, the shades do nothing to detract from the colors used by the children and their teachers. Thus educators can “personalize” the classrooms and add colors to highlight the activities in which the children take part as they explore their world.
Library
Gonzagarredi creates multifunctional furnishing systems for libraries and buildings used for cultural activities: book check-out counters, bookshelves, display shelves, containers, cupboards, tables, chairs, etc.
Montessori materials
GAM can define itself as the History of Montessori materials, not just because it started, grew and established itself in Maria Montessori’s country, but because it was in collaboration with our firm (then known as “Ernesto Bassoli e Figli” and afterwards “Società Anonima per il Materiale Montessori”) that Maria Montessori produced the first materials. Gonzagarredi is one of only three companies in the world that produce Montessori educational material with the supervision and certification of Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) , headquartered in Amsterdam.
This is our mission: to cast a ray of light and pass on.
