about us

A Story of Craftsmanship and Vision.

In the quiet countryside of the Marche region during the 1950s, amidst the skilled hands of a master weaver, what would become a symbol of excellence in contemporary design began to take shape. From that small workshop in Mogliano, where wicker was brought to life in timeless forms, the journey of Braid commenced - a path that unites artisanal craftsmanship with the most advanced aesthetic research

With the generational transition in the 1970s, the company transformed its artisanal heritage into a design language, opening a fruitful dialogue with the world of architecture and design. To day this evolution, guided by the entrepreneurial vision of Domenico Guzzini, has led us to reinterpret tradition through innovative materials and prestigious collaborations, all while maintaining our enduring attention to detail that has always set us apart

Today, Braid represents the meeting point between memory and innovation, where every creation arises from the perfect balance of form and function. Our collections, the result of dialogue with the most important internatio - nal design studios, coexist harmoniously with tailored solutions that meet the most exclusive needs.

For architects seeking a partner capable of translating complex visions into reality, for designers in search of artisanal inspiration, for space curators who wish to offer a unique experience to their clients, Braid positions itself as a privileged interlocutor.

Our mission goes beyond mere production: we aim to be catalysts of beauty, interpreters of trends, and guardians of knowledge that looks to the future. Because every weave, every curve, every detail tells not only our story but also shapes the landscape of tomorrow’s outdoor design.

Braid design lab

Braid Lab is the creative atelier established in 2005, serving as the innovative heart of a company with a long-standing tradition in the industry. Leveraging decades of expertise and the experimental approach of the Design Lab, we develop cutting-edge solutions that cater to the most exclusive needs: from the hospitality sector, with dedicated projects for resorts and hotels, to tailored collaborations for selected clients.

Refined aesthetics, the development of excel - lence in products, and the selection of premium raw materials are the cornerstones of our method. Every project begins with a thorough analysis of market trends and needs, allowing us to define a brief that guides the creation of collections and customized solutions.

The creative process is rigorous: sketches, de - tailed technical drawings, 1:1 scale prototypes, material and finish testing, refinements of shapes and structures, all the way to durability tests. Only when each phase meets the com - pany’s quality standards is the product appro - ved for production and launched in international markets.

In the Braid Lab archive, drawings, samples, and prototypes coexist alongside a unique heritage of know-how, creativity, and creations that narrate decades of company history. Here, dreams take shape and are transformed into iconic projects characterized by contemporary aesthetics, artisanal craftsmanship, refined finishes, and high-quality materials.

Since 2020, Luigi Martinelli has been leading
the artistic and creative direction of Braid Lab,
carrying forward a vision that blends tradition
and innovation, continuing to write stories of
excellence
