About a company

The story starts here: in the North of Italy in a tiny village Casale di Scodosia known for its woodworking traditions. That’s where the factory of luxury classic furniture Modenese Gastone is situated. The factory is owned by the Modenese family that is working in the wooden furniture business since 1818.
