Gabriele Pici is a sculptor specialising in working with Lecce stone.
After working for several years in a local craftsman’s workshop, and thus learning the secrets of the trade from a local master, he opened his own atelier in Lecce, and gave birth to the GP Interior Design collection: a series of decorative and furnishing accessories in stone, with a contemporary style.
His works are a skilful combination of artistic flair, design thinking and craftsmanship, and they find their place mainly in private homes or gardens.
The inspiration comes from nature: the sinuous shapes recall olive trees, rocks sculpted by the sea and the marine fossils of the Salento landscape. Starting from a block of stone and an idea, the material is worked using the techniques and tools of traditional craftsmanship, but the baroque motifs of Lecce’s architecture are reinterpreted in a modern key: the result are objects and works that enhance interiors by creating plays of light and shadow and evocative atmospheres, which are suitable for both classical and modern settings.
His creations are made entirely by hand, which makes each artefact truly unique.
