About GIOVANNI OFFREDI Giovanni Offredi was born in Milan in 1927 and began working in the fields of interior and industrial design in the early ‘60s. From then on, he has been collaborating with famous Italian and foreign companies, creating furniture, lamps, accessories as well as kitchens, sofas, televisions and telephones. He has also had experience designing stores and settings for trade shows. Over the course of his career, Offredi has received several awards and honorable mentions from reputable trade organizations, including three “Oscars de la Nouveauté” in Paris. Some of his creations are part of permanent exhibitions at the MoMa (New York) and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London). Architect Giovanni Offredi died in 2007, and was succeeded by his son, Engineer Ferdinando Offredi, who has taken over design activities at his studio. In Offredi’s designs, harmony is obtained through a careful and effective balance of proportions, and creativity free from all conventional constraints. In the forms he creates, he aims to reach an order as close to perfection as possible by eliminating all superfluous elements. For Offredi, design is the pure expression of the “reason for being” of the product. Therefore, shaping an object is an effort to give visual representation to its meaning and function. Aesthetics and utility must be two parts of the same timeless, lasting whole. In the eighties, an increasingly demanding market was calling for a new style in kitchen design. In response, Snaidero launched Abaco, an innovative range of models all bearing Offredi’s signature touch. As a result in 1984 came out KRIOS, whose elegant beauty was characterized by the absence of handles to accentuate its clean linear forms. With its contrasts of shiny colors, yellow, silver, white and slate, Krios was also the first model to break away from the concept of monochromatic kitchens. Following was KALIA (1986), whose distinguishing feature was a joint- free, fully equipped countertop made in pre-curved plywood coated in laminate: a real cooking laboratory with large surfaces and roomy larder areas. Then, in 1988, Snaidero left it up to Offredi to reinvent the idea of the wood kitchen. The designer’s answer was CONTRALTO, based on a contrasting game of wood, stone and steel. The use of a plastic material to create the wrinkled roughness effect of a stone surface gave the model a solid visual presence and made the old new again. In the mid 1990's, Offredi joined forces with Saporiti Italia's Creative Director & Co-Founder, Giorgio Saporiti, in the formation of a new Furniture Design Manufacturer, Il Loft. Offredi developed several key elements to the range, both in upholstered seating groups and cabinetry. Offredi returned to Snaidero in 2008, with a new model called KUBE. Kube offers clearly contrasting shapes, materials, colors and balanced areas with separate functions, to convey a kitchen that is resistant and long-lasting yet stylishly simple and immediately identifiable. White emphasises the clean lines, while the warm tone of wood (Elm) softens the steel to complete an essential design with sober yet contemporary and dynamic forms.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE *Pick-Ups*If you are local in Southeast Florida, feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment for viewing in West Palm Beach, Florida 33411. You are free to coordinate your own couriers for pickup of Large Freight items, provided payment is made onsite or in advance and is fully processed and accepted prior to pick up. Items may be picked up Free-of-Charge (less any large moving handling fees), are sold as-is, from climate-controlled Storage Facility in zip code 33411. *Deliveries*All Small & Medium Sized Deliveries will ship twice weekly: Domestically via FedEx, UPS, USPS (via Ground/Surface, Fully Insured), Internationally via USPS (Airmail/Insured). Additional Premium-Services can be Specified and Paid for additionally (at buyer’s request). All Large-Sized Units exceeding Size or Weight restrictions of FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL, will require LTL (less than truck load) shipping via White-Glove Blanket-Wrap Service Carriers or Professional-Packaging/Crating Services, with Shipping via Commercial Freight-Lines. You are free to obtain your own quotes, however the shipping industry has changed its requirements dramatically since 9/11/2001, and thusly you’ll now be “hard-pressed” to find Commercial Transport Shipping companies that are willing to accept the terms of a pickup from a storage facility location (in lieu of a “bona fide” commercial storefront). These companies will not typically offer packaging/crating services, nor are they likely to sell you a shipment insurance valuation package for Vintage/Used-Furniture (i.e.: or furniture, which is not “brand-new/sealed” in original packaging). I’m suggesting “Plycon Group” and “Craters And Freighters” as some of the only national “White-Glove” options, willing to accept the aforementioned criteria within the United States. Alternatively, I work with a small select group of national shippers, who frequent most metropolitan cities. My freight quotes and deliveries will take longer to obtain but should cost you significantly less. *INTERNATIONAL Freight Deliveries* All Large-Sized Furniture Items being shipped outside the USA, “MUST BE” Coordinated by Buyer, utilizing a Customs Broker. These shipments require me to contract Professional-Services for: Customized Palletizing, Packaging, and Crating Services. And the contents of these sales must be fully insured. *Terms and Conditions of Sale* All of my items being auctioned on eBay are often featured in storefront and marketed simultaneously for sale through the design trade and several industry-specific avenues. In some cases, an item happens to become sold, prior to the close of its auction here on eBay. Although these instances are not through eBay, they are in accordance with, and do not circumvent the selling policies and procedures of eBay. When this occurs, all active bidding will be canceled, and the auction will be ended and closed early, under the grounds “this item is no longer available for sale.” A rare occurrence sometimes develops within the final 12 hours of an auction’s end, where ending the auction is not always possible. This is due to the frequent and common use of BidSnipers and other BidSniping Programs, which enter bids on behalf of bidders, in the last and final few seconds of an auction. There simply isn’t enough time to effectively react and cancel these bids and close the auction. And in this rare and seldom event, the sale of the item through an auction win, must be considered null and void, effectively cancelling the sale. All items are sold with accurate descriptions and titling and are sold in as-is condition without refund. *Payments*For the successful win of an auction, all payments must be made within 5 days of winning an auction, prior to the filing of an unpaid item alert and the winning bid canceled at Seller’s discretion. Preference for payments of large furniture and freight going items is through the initiation of a Bank-EFT transaction, made in tandem with a “Legal Contract of Sale” (i.e.: Legal Document {1-page}, Signed/Dated, by both the Buyer and Seller, with complete item description detail and with transaction instructions). Buyers with Feedback Rating of under 10, or under 90% please contact prior to bidding. For Small and Medium packaged items, payment via Paypal is accepted (only if the Paypal Account is Verified, and both the Buyer’s eBay and Paypal Accounts are VERIFIED and match identically in: Email, Ship-To Street-Address, and contact). If these accounts and addresses are NOT matched and verified, Buyer and Seller will ONLY utilize the aforementioned Bank-EFT process to finalize sale and ownership. Thank You.
