At GICA, we carry forward this tradition: refining form, honoring artisanship, and designing objects that transform space into art. #mood #inspiration #gicaatelier #GICA #hoteldelamarine

𝕄𝕆𝕆𝔻 | Trompe-l’œil — to deceive the eye — is the art of making the unreal appear tangible. In Didier Rabes’ trellis bathroom, stucco palms and lattice climb the walls in a seamless illusion of depth and form. What seems architectural is, in truth, illusion — a play of shadow, perspective, and mastery that tricks the senses into believing. This Renaissance-born technique asks us to pause, to look closer, to question what is real. At GICA, we embrace this same spirit: design that challenges perception, blurs the line between art and reality, and leaves the viewer suspended in wonder. #mood #inspiration #gicaatelier #GICA #didierrabes

𝕄𝕆𝕆𝔻 | The softly sunlit Tiffany blue walls of Drayton Hall, Charleston carry centuries of patina — a color that feels both serene and complex, shaped by time. The paneled woodwork and graceful staircases reveal the kind of detail that was built to last, where craftsmanship meets quiet grandeur. At GICA, we draw inspiration from spaces like this: rooted in history, elevated by form, and designed to remain timeless, beyond passing trends. #mood #inspiration #gicaatelier #GICA #draytonhall

𝕄𝕆𝕆𝔻 | The hypnotic spiral of a Nautilus Shell. Spirals draw us in effortlessly—our eyes tracing their curves inward and outward in a continuous flow. There’s something mesmerizing and almost meditative about their rhythm. Across ancient cultures and nature alike, spirals have symbolized expansion, infinity, and growth—a reminder that life itself unfolds in ever-widening circles.

GICA Atelier—a union of Gina and California—is a furniture and homewares studio conceived in Los Angeles and handcrafted by artisans around the globe. At its core, GICA embodies a dialogue between rebellion and refinement, where elegance is reimagined through the artistic spirit. Founder Gina Canavan’s sensibility was shaped by a melange of influences—her European roots, her Hollywood upbringing, a lifetime of rock and roll, and an affection for Old World antiquities. Her career in set design honed her ability to merge diverse aesthetics with ease. Today, she translates this eclectic vision into a world entirely her own and invites you to play alongside her. GICA’s debut collection is set for early 2026.
