Gabriele Pedretti

Founder, researcher and expert fossil wood craftsman.

"To work today with the exact same trees beneath which the dinosaurs once sought shade, is a truly extraordinary experience."

Gabriele loves to quote Michelangelo Buonarroti:

"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it”

And this is how each piece of Fossil Design work is born. We don't offer a cataloge of products, but a line of emotions - sinks, tables, shelves, ornaments - or anything else that we manage to produce with this unique material. Working closely with architects, we create we produce work in any style of design: stainless steel, glass, wrought iron and gold - all worked with precision and passion and chosen to compliment the each individual piece of fossilized wood.
