meet the creator
Hi, I am Gabriele.
I was brought into this world in the vibrant city of Rome, Italy, back in the year 1981. My earliest rendezvous with the world of design dates back to the tender age of four. According to a cherished family tale, that’s when I, alongside my Grandpa, embarked on constructing a whimsical cartoon castle.
This early exploration ignited my passion for design.

My journey into the world of design commenced with independent studies, poring over manuals and attempting to glean inspiration from the techniques of the grand masters. My formal education in design commenced at the Scuola Romana di Fotografia in Rome, followed by studies at the Scuola Scienza e Tecnica (Rome), and later at Goldsmith College’s Centre for Urban and Community Research in London.
Allow me to introduce OfConcrete, a contemporary collection of handcrafted objects. This collection seamlessly marries the rich traditions of Italian craftsmanship with a minimalist aesthetic. Each piece within this limited series is a testament to architectural design, characterized by the use of lightweight concrete as a premium material. Each item is truly unique, a labour of love that unfolds through a meticulous process spanning about one week of dedication for each piece. Each step in production ensures that raw materials evolve into finely crafted works of art.
Our collection encompasses a range of jewelry and interior design products. Since 1968, architects and designers have explored groundbreaking concepts that blur the lines between fashion and architecture. Our jewelry pays homage to the concept of “wearable architecture,” seamlessly blending linearity, absolute minimalism, vibrant colours, and a discerning choice of materials.
OfConcrete is the epitome of sophistication, tailor-made for those who have a profound appreciation for architecture, minimalism, and elegance.
