The event is part of the activities organized for the VI edition of the Festival del Legno - Cantù Città del mobile, dedicated to “women”. Tessile Officina celebrates the figure of Gegia Bronzini, one of the most important Italian weavers of the early Twentieth Century who opened her business in the 1930s in the immediate vicinity of Venice, first as a weaving school and then as a production workshop. At the end of the 1940s the company moved to Cantù, where it received the stimuli of the booming furniture sector (see collaborations with Carlo Lucci, Ico and Luisa Parisi, Osvaldo Borsani to name a few). After his death in 1976, the company passed into the hands of his daughter Marisa, who became a reference figure for her outstanding artistic skills and remarkable creative sensitivity. After a few years of suspension and thanks to the acquisition by Tessile Officina, the brand is back in business.
