Oggetti was founded in 1975 by Robert and Nancy Frehling. The Frehlings were already operating Nessa Gaulois in Miami, one of the finest gift, accessory and bridal stores. Their retail exposure made them keenly aware of the preferences of affluent retail customers as well as the needs of the store owner. This has informed their decision-making and product selection for Oggetti, keeping them always up-to-date and market-savvy.
Originally the entire collection was imported from Italy and marketed solely under the "Oggetti" trademark. In fact, the word "oggetti" means "objects" in Italian and is used to describe accessories for the home.
Oggetti collections include "Oggetti Luce", comprising several collections of Italian lighting including pendants, table lamps and torcheres, chandeliers, floor lamps and sconces.
While many people attempt to copy Oggetti, they do so without the name of the artist, with objects often noticeably less attractive and rarely at better prices. Oggetti works closely with their stable of artists and craftsmen and continually strives to represent the best to their discerning customers. Perfection, however, is created only in an industrial setting; objects made by hand from natural materials always leave a special imprint. The Frehlings continue relentlessly to search for these special products throughout the world and to present them to their customers. |
