Officine Gullo for Aquazzura

A collaboration between Andrea Gullo, Director of Officine Gullo, and Edgardo Osorio, founder and Creative Director of the Italian luxury footwear brand Aquazzura, unites the world of fashion with that of design. The meeting led to the creation of a tailor-made kitchen for one of the Osorio residences in an exceptional location: Palazzo Corner Spinelli, on the Grand Canal in the San Marco district of Venice. The residence dates back to the end of the fifteenth century and is characterized by architecture that is representative of the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance in Venetian art, evidenced by the façade on the canal. An Officine Gullo kitchen was installed on the first floor in Osorio’s apartment, tailor-made by the designer, his residence and his brand. Upon discovering Officine Gullo, one of the aspects that most struck Edgardo Osorio was the richness of the colors and the attention to detail curated in Florence. A turquoise kitchen with nickel finishes was created for him. The cooking appliances and refrigeration at professional performance level fit perfectly into the environment, characterized by a striped painted parquet floor and hand-decorated walls. Exotic animals, flowers and brightly colored trees recall motifs of fine 18th-century Chinese porcelain and transport the observer to an exotic garden and to distant places.
