The Decline of Western Civilization is an experimental, provocative and innovative project. Through evocative forms, precious materials and forgotten work processes, with the contribution of new technologies, the Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni collection is a challenge to the standardisation of mass culture. Reluctant to all cataloguing, they are liveable sculptures created to elicit deep emotions in their owner, objects outside time, made entirely by hand for voyagers of the mind. Exclusive and introverted, they are ideal travelling companions for fantastical domestic adventures, objets d’art that are unique in the world, aimed at the sophisticated collector with special tastes.
The Decline of Western Civilization is a collection dedicated to everybody who loves to go against the grain (à rebours).
