WE ARE EXHIBITING AT
SURFACE DESIGN SHOW
3-5 FEBRUARY 2026 – BUSINESS DESIGN CENTRE, LONDON – STAND 169
Garbo presents the new Surface Collection, a collection of innovative surfaces that interprets contemporary design through textures, colors, and high-quality materials. Garbo explores the dialogue between material and design. A collection of surfaces designed to shape authentic spaces, where aesthetics and sensorial experience meet. Different surfaces. One identity. surfacedesignshow.com
Leather
A panel collection exploring material three dimensionality. Exclusive MDF patterns clad in natural leather create sculptural, tactile surfaces. Distinct expressions. One unified identity.
Wood
A panel collection expressing the depth of solid wood. Sculpted oak panels are finished with lacquer. Fire retardant versions are available. A transparent matte oil finish enhances the natural grain. Multiple surfaces. One coherent identity.
Wood-Metal
A panel collection highlighting the character of wood. Solid larch is engraved to reveal its natural grain and knots. Hot metalization with copper and brass defines the surface. Layered treatments create refined tonal variations.
Tattoo
A finish collection redefining metal decoration. Steel surfaces are permanently marked using patented technology. The pattern is embedded beneath the surface, producing subtle iridescence and dynamic visual effects.
Burnishing
A finish collection enhancing noble metals. Brass and copper are treated through entirely handcrafted burnishing processes. Unique patterns, gradients, and tonal variations emerge. Each piece is unique.
Patina
A decorative finish collection rooted in artisanal expertise. Metal surfaces are aged through chemical or thermal processes. Tones range from warm golds to deep blacks, including antique greens and blues.
Liquid Metal Coating
A finish collection exploring technical innovation. Surfaces are created using liquid metal coating. Paint is blended with metallic powders to achieve refined, durable finishes. Certified long term performance is guaranteed.
Garbo believe in research as a driver of development and knowledge.
MATERIALS AND EXPERIMENTATION AT THE SERVICE OF DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE.
We believe that a rich design vocabulary is the key to transforming the vision of clients, designers, and architects into concrete solutions.
Continuously evolving design
We develop design ideas and apply them to our projects
Garbo Lab is not only a lab for architectural ideas, but also a creative and innovative space for architects and interior designers.
In Garbo Arredamenti we develop new design solutions and create concrete prototypes for future projects, while looking to the future in a space designed to be a collaborative and stimulating environment in which interior designers, architects and woodworkers can freely explore their ideas and put them into practice with the help of state-of-the-art technology. We experiment and test new materials, technology, and design solutions in real time by creating mock-ups to help us perfect the original idea. It is an autonomous environment in which it is possible to think outside the box with the goal of creating unique designs.
We create future design trends
Architectural and interior design development lab
Garbo La’s mission is to design and develop high-quality design products which preempt our clients’ needs by offering innovative and highly stylish solutions. The lab is equipped with the latest technology like 3D printers, CNC machines, modelling tools and CAD software. Morover, there are also decorations, finishing materials, varnishes, and different types of wood. All this allows us not only to work group or individual projects, but also to learn and acquire new know-how and to experiment new types of technology. Garbo Lab also provides a collaborative environment to anybody who wants to be a part of it. It is a dynamic and creative space where ideas, feedback and suggestions can be exchanged for the growth of everybody.
NEW DESIGNS
We develop new designs preempting future trends
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
We continuously innovate interior design beauty and style
CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT
People with different expertise and experience come together to create
MOCK UP
We create real, miniature prototypes of the project
We create real mock-ups of the final product for our clients
Garbo Lab’s philosophy is taking complete advantage of the potential of technology, experience and manual skill to create products that are beautiful and functional as well as aesthetically captivating. These virtual models allow our clients to envision the final product with all its details, to test the different materials and finishes and to make changes until they are completely satisfied with the result. Once the virtual models have been approved, the lab passes to the mock-up phase, that is real-size models of the product. This phase is crucial because it means being able to verify that the final product can stand up to the functional and aesthetic requirements. The mock-ups are built using materials and techniques similar to the ones used for the standard production so as to guarantee that the final products are as close to the virtual model as possible.
