Design

The stylistic and ergonomic study of every object begins with the simplicity of geometry, shaped
through Hebanon’s unique techniques of carving and inlay.
It is a constant pursuit of elegance and functionality — a way to create furniture that enhances both
livability and aesthetic harmony.

Empathy

We interpret people’s desires and needs, creating objects that express identity and draw attention back to the authentic value of things.
Our goal is to give form to ideal spaces — places where one can live the present serenely and design the future with harmony.

Avant-Garde

For Hebanon, being avant-garde means merging the craftsmanship of master cabinetmakers with
state-of-the-art technology, transforming the strength of nature into timeless furnishings.
By integrating industrial processes with artisanal work on wood, metal, leather, and marble, we
reduce waste and production times, leaving more room for creativity and ensuring absolute quality.

Respect

We are committed to maintaining balance among economy, people, and environment, respecting both humanity and nature. We use certified wood, non-toxic and Formaldehyde-Free materials, and reduce CO₂ emissions by 80% through energy efficiency and solar panels.
With Treedom, for every object sold we plant a tree in support of disadvantaged rural areas.

For us, respect also means promoting our territory by spreading the culture of design and slow design, passing down our heritage and story.
We are founders and curators of the Salerno Design Week, partners of the San Carlo Theatre in Naples and the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum.
We collaborate with universities to train the professionals of the future and support creative programs such as Young Factory Design.

2013 - Today

The Basile Studio project takes shape, the fifth generation of the Basile family: Giovanna, Maria, and Nicola lead a complete rebranding of Hebanon Fratelli Basile – 1830, transforming the ancient arts of wood, metal, and stone craftsmanship through a modern and contemporary lens.

Nicola’s sons, Sabato, Ascanio, Giovanni, and Ersilio, carried on the cabinetmaking tradition in the new workshop in Nocera Superiore, which remains the company’s headquarters today, under the name Fratelli Basile.
In 2001, the brand “Hebanon, the workshop of master cabinetmakers” was founded to represent the luxury line of the Basile family.
A significant generational shift in management brought with it several technological innovations in both design and production. In 2004, Hebanon received the Campania Innovation Award thanks to
the introduction of a 5+1 axis machining center, still among the most advanced today.
That same year, the company obtained UNI EN ISO 9001 certification and began its first
collaborations with schools and art institutes to train students in marquetry and carving techniques.
Since 2007, thanks to Giovanna Basile’s contribution, the company has expanded internationally, entering the Russian market.

Nicola Basile had by then become a recognized cabinetmaker, marquetry, and woodcarving master, running an expanding workshop equipped with cutting-edge machinery and a skilled team of artisans.
These were the years of major military commissions for interior furnishings and fixtures,
as well as monumental restorations and large-scale projects. Among these were the Tofano Barracks in Nocera Inferiore, the Sant’Anna dei Lombardi Monumental Complex, and the State Railways Employees’ Building in Battipaglia. Alongside his work, during the difficult years of World War II, the Basile family distinguished itself for its efforts in caring for and protecting partisans, as well as Italian and American soldiers, from
German persecution.

After the end of the First World War, Ascanio’s grandson, Nicola Basile, a war veteran, decided to reinvent himself by opening a cabinetmaking workshop in the Casolla district of Nocera Inferiore
His personal experience, combined with the family’s long-standing tradition in woodworking, marked the beginning of a new chapter.

Ascanio Basile, a native of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and descendant of one of its oldest
families, began his career as an apprentice

His innate curiosity and thirst for knowledge soon set
him apart, eventually leading him to take part in the construction of the carriages for the first
Naples–Portici railway, a source of great pride at the time and a symbol of a kingdom looking
toward modernity.

Fascinated by the art of cabinetmaking, Ascanio absorbed its secrets by learning from the most
renowned Neapolitan and French masters, blending the rigor of tradition with his own refined and
personal vision.

Driven by this creative passion, he decided to craft a special bedroom set for his
fiancée, a gesture that united love and craftsmanship. However, destiny took a different turn: the growing commissions from local noble families, Naples’ aristocracy, and even the Bourbon royal household led him down a path where love for art
triumphed over private affection. From this prophetic union of talent and dedication was born a
lineage of cabinetmakers, bound by a common thread of passion and skill that, generation after
generation, has kept the essence of the craft alive.

Guiding them was a motto as simple as it is profound: SPIRITUS INTUS ALIT - “the spirit within nourishes and gives life to things.”
It is this very spirit that moves the hands, the heart, and the
mind, transforming raw material into timeless works where soul and substance intertwine, giving life to creations that tell stories of emotion, artistry, and mastery
