Branch Creative
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Josh and Nick, the founders of Branch, both come from families of designers. Their parents -described as "accomplished designers and hippies"- instilled in them a love for craftsmanship, service, and a passion for their work. The duo now designs and manufactures a range of products, from furniture to housewares and cutting-edge technology products, in their foundry in South San Francisco.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Ghidini 1961 is an Italian design brand specializing in high-quality brass metalwork. Founded in 1961 as Ghidini Giuseppe Bosco, the company initially produced brass lighting components. In 2016, it was rebranded as Ghidini 1961 to merge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, expanding into furniture and decorative objects. The brand collaborates with renowned designers like Stefano Giovannoni and Nika Zupanc. Recent additions to their furniture collection include the Tasca Sofa by Robert Stadler, the modular Mambo Sofa by Lorenza Bozzoli, and the Flo Sofa, also by Bozzoli. Ghidini 1961 continues to create timeless, innovative pieces that honor Italy’s metalworking heritage while embracing modern aesthetics.
