Based in Melbourne Australia, Italian born Joe Giardina began his craft more than 30 years ago as an apprentice at the Prahran College of TAFE. He says his career since then has taken many different turns in line with his desire to learn all aspects of his craft, from making office furniture to classic leather Chesterfield Lounges. Joe says the most important feature to look for when shopping for a new lounge is comfort. “My furniture is indescribable, you couldn’t call it traditional.” For those seeking furniture with an edge that is destined to become the talking point of there homes, the one-off pieces designed and manufactured by Melbourne furniture maker Joe Giardina are rare gems.
