Latin faber means artisan. For the owner of FABER MOBILI Renzo Guderzo, "tradition", "manual production" are more than just words. "Why furnish an office with furniture in the style of Louis XV or in the style of Tuscany, when Russia has its own magnificent things, is there a world-famous Russian Empire style?" - he is surprised. Of course, there is a share of promotion in these words (after all, FABER has recently made a collection of furniture in the Russian Empire style), but in fact, why shouldn't the owner of a luxurious office be a patriot ?!SALON: Signor Guderzo, tell us about your office ... - My office is furnished with Italian classical furniture, because I think that a person should surround himself with things that were born in his country. There are pictures on the walls that may not like someone else, but I like them, because my office is my territory, here are the things that I love.S: In your opinion, really antique things space in the office or rather in the living room? “Definitely in the living room.” Still, work is work, and home is a place where you enjoy peace and comfort. In my living room I want to enjoy beautiful things that at work will only distract attention. The office has no place for nostalgia. On the other hand, a lot depends on a person’s lifestyle. If, for example, your President Vladimir Putin spends twenty-four hours a day in his office, then, of course, this is where he should be surrounded by beautiful things.S: How to choose a table for the office? - If you spend a lot of time at the desk and work with documents, you need a table with a very large tabletop and many drawers. If you have to work often to communicate with various representatives of firms, you should think first about making a good impression. In this case, I advise you to choose a small table made of fine wood, decorated with inlays, or a table with inlays of well-dressed leather on the working surface. There should be a minimum of documents on such a table so that visitors can admire it.
