Gobbetto is an Italian company that has transformed resin from a simple technical material into a creative language capable of uniting architecture, design, art, and fashion. It all began in the 1960s when an American engineer suggested to Giancarlo Gobbetto that resin could be used not only in naval or industrial contexts, but to pave and coat anything. Thus, thanks to an intuition, Giancarlo created a product that immediately took root in the residential sector, especially in fashion showrooms: Calvin Klein’s in New York was among the first to believe in this aesthetic solution.
Then came collaborations with Armani, Romeo Gigli, and Corso Como 10, artists such as Mimmo Paladino, and designers like Paola Navone; Gobbetto resin evolved into an extremely versatile material, capable of taking on the appearance of plaster, alabaster, micro-cement, or fabric, with advanced technical qualities: non-toxic, ecological, photosensitive, elastic, and removable.
The company’s strength lies in its nature as industrial craftsmanship, where technicians, artists, and designers work together to experiment with innovative solutions such as magnetic resins, removable panels, resin curtains and rugs, self-illuminating surfaces, and materials capable of absorbing and reflecting light. The Milan showroom and the headquarters in Trezzano sul Naviglio showcase this continuous research through artistic installations and new color palettes.
Led today by Clarissa and Gianluca Gobbetto, the company looks to the future with the opening of a Museum and an Academy, confirming a cultural as well as a productive vocation. With 60% of its turnover coming from abroad, Gobbetto continues to amaze with projects that blend memory, technology, and experimentation, making resin a ductile material at the service of contemporary artistic expression.
