OVA VA GIO O V A From silverware to jewellery, Giovanni Raspini’s refined creations are known by connoisseurs for their distinctive style: figurative, yet dream-like, rich with naturalistic references and painstakingly designed details. Giovanni Raspini, founder and soul of the company, has a predilection for depicting horses, butterflies, daisies and flower patterns as well as new interpretations of Jungle and Animalier themes. Established in 1972, Giovanni Raspini Silver Creations have been pursuing innovation and quality ever since. One of the company’s latest achievements is the creation of the Bronzobianco alloy, an alternative to silver aimed at meeting the demands of new markets and produced with the same artisanal quality that has always characterised all company’s creations. The Giovanni Raspini brand is a quintessential example of “made in Italy”: each piece is handcrafted, finished and packaged exclusively in-house. Elegant table ornaments and jewellery are crafted by experts in the creation of wax models and metal casting. One of the secrets behind the success of the company is the use of an ancient casting technique known as lost wax casting. This technique was already in use during the Neolithic age and today it is rarely employed by manufacturers. All Giovanni Raspini collections are made by combining this millenary technique with innovation and creativity. The plasticity of the handicrafts mixes with irony and subtle provocation to produce truly extraordinary objects.
