GABRIELLA DEL SIGNORE
She became a true design addict while she was working at De Padova, side by side with Maddalena De Padova for over 6 years. This opportunity allowed her to meet some of the most important interpreters of design on the international stage, among them Vico Magistretti and Achille Castiglioni.
In 1992 she joined a design industry PR agency as a partner and at the end of 1996 founded Ghénos Communication. The company initiated operations in January of 1997, representing important brands such as Bulthaup, Gaggenau, and Joint — at the time a distributor of the Emeco, USM Haller, and Thonet brands. The last two are still included in Ghénos’ client portfolio.
This marked the beginning of a journey, success and experience that for over 20 years have made the company a benchmark in the field of design PR.
She stands out for her curiosity, passion and professionalism: three characteristics that are a common thread in her work.
