GERBORE Jonatha
At the Gerbore joinery time has stopped and the brothers Jonatha and Joyce love to work wood “as it once was”: their passion was born in fact in the family business, under the guidance of their grandfather and father. The secrets and techniques of working are still ancient and handed down by the family: the carving of wood is made strictly by hand and solid wood furniture with joints such as tenon and mortise, dovetail and half wood. Their production consists mainly of doors, balconies, stairs, boiserie and furnishing accessories. The most processed woods are walnut, cherry, fir and larch while the finishes are based on natural oils and waxes.
BOGNIER Mirko Mario
After attending the Professional Institute of Aosta, he developed a keen interest in woodworking. In the first place as a hobbyist, he subsequently decided to make it his job. In 2011, he opened his own carpentry in La Thuile.
His production consists mainly of furniture but also doors and coverings. He predominantly uses larch and fir woods, but working principally on commission, customers often choose furniture lines and materials. What he appreciates about his work is the possibility of continuously creating new things: there is never one piece of furniture identical to another. This boosts him to proceed on, as he is also mindful of the value of craft production compared to the industrial one.
