UNIFORM PORTRAITS EP. 01 | ANDREA GANDINI

Every mark tells a story.

Every craft begins with a material. With a pair of hands. 

With the ability to see beyond the surface.

UNIFORM PORTRAITS EP. 01 | ANDREA GANDINI

For over 70 years, RefrigiWear has been created to protect those who work. That is why we choose to tell the stories of people who, every day, create value through their craft.

At just 17 years old, Andrea Gandini began carving the trunks left behind after tree removals across the streets of Rome. Where many saw a material to be discarded, he saw a hidden form waiting to be revealed.

Since then, his work has been about bringing it to light, transforming what seemed destined to disappear into an artwork built to last.

It is a gesture that speaks of respect, patience and care. 

Values that have always been part of our own story.

Because protection also means recognizing the value of materials, preserving them and giving them the chance to continue telling a story.
