A Love COMPANY

The Golden dream began back in 2000, in a garage-turned-office in the industrial town of Marghera, near Venice (Italy). Once our first ‘house’ was founded, all that was missing was the right name. A name that could capture a timeless and universal intention. The choice fell on Aesop's, the ancient Greek author,  best-known fable, ‘The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs’. Since then, we have travelled to many places that have inspired us throughout the years, exploring different worlds such as the realm of art, which has always been at the heart of every style and design choice we've ever made. And just like Aesop’s fable, our message has grown over the years and spread all over the world.
