Neapolitan company Xenia makes luxurious doors for modern villas

The XENIA brand appeared in 1992. The company was founded by the Neapolitan Marco Gaeta (Marco Gaeta). Marco, not only the owner, but also the chief designer of XENIA, talks about the latest collection of the factory presented at the exhibition in Moscow: “We are reviving the décor of historical samples. So, in the new collection there are doors in the spirit of antiquity and the Renaissance, there are neo-baroque models. We are particularly proud of the Reale Nero: this is an exact replica of the door from the Palazzo Reale, the brilliant 17th century Neapolitan palace. It is decorated with graceful arabesques, ornaments are gilded. This model conveys the splendor of the residence of the Sicilian kings. All XENIA doors are painted by hand, then the surface is varnished. I like to combine different types of varnish, as, for example, in the Luxus doors from the new collection: the canvas is covered with glossy varnish and the columns framing the door are matte (in Italian this type of varnish is called satinate). This combination looks very impressive. We make doors “individually tailored”. This concerns not only design, but also technical parameters: dimensions are determined by the customer. By the way, we have a contract line. XENIA manufactures doors for hotels. These models are unique in their own way - they quench the noise by 41 dB. ”
