ANNA GILIINTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO
Anna Gili is an Italian artist and interior designer in Milano
with a professional, academic and artistic approach, producing work for leading international furniture, products and home furnishing companies.
Her reasoning behind the projects is holistic and she travels systemically in cross-cultural empathy through disciplines such as art, design, interior design and architecture.
The origins of Anna Gili’s path reflect the influence of those multiple creative worlds, which have led her to express herself through performances and avant-garde creations which later became the base for the first important pillars of her work for example: the “Tonda” armchair and the “Cro” vase.
“The application of a careful hypothesis of classicism is a way of designing that is not main stream, but it is found in the refined white and go/d collection that Anna Gili, whose presence and demeanor are a/so beyond actual trends, has made for Post Design.”
Alessandro Mendini
Architect
"78 objects of zoomorphic derivation in the course of a designer are such that they cannot be ascribed to chance, not even to the passion for the four-legged friends with whom they live ... Her work goes beyond the playful in favor of the symbolic, and this changes everything..."
Cristina Miglio
Architect
“Patience, constancy and perseverance in working with talent, tenacity and humility so that her own intuitions and perceptions can come to light and become everyday objects with a soul... ”
François Zille
Visual antropologist
“With a three-decade-long career that unfolded smack in the heart of the Milan art and design scene, Anna Gili doesn’t need to mince words...”
Wava Carpenter
Design Curator Miami Art Basel
"Anna Gili's furniture is the fairy-tale enclosure in which playful abstract forms, of artifice and nature, are gathered and freely distributed, inhabiting a dream of familiar and spontaneous joyfulness, to spread an aura of serene quiet over the course of a daily life of happy calm and playful harmony of the states of the soul. Around these clear and naive silent presences, the simple and varied chromaticism of its object space unfolds".
Prof. Arch. Riccardo Cecchini
Academy of Fine Art - Verona, Italy
"Anna Gili brought the colors of Umbria to Milan, the oldest colors in Italy, powerful, strong, dazzling. A quality born from an innate unconsciousness. Anna Gili is animated by a radiating vital breath and in great harmony with the kingdom of animals, often the main protagonists in the environments she creates. An etymologically fantastic world"
Jean Blanchaert
Blanchaert Art Gallery
"Here at the Groninger Museum we see, admire and – not the least – love to rest on Anna Gili’s wonderful “canoes” every day. They combine the best of Italian design: form and function, colour and humour."
Prof. Dr. AndreasBlühm
Algemeen Directeur
GRONINGER MUSEUM
"The first thing I had from Anna was one of her armchairs with a very elongated back, purchased for our Alessi Study Center in Milan in the early 1990s. That armchair seems to me to represent her way of designing well: soft but tapered, an unusual piece of design for that time, an armchair fit for a fairytale queen…""
