Banci Firenze – The company takes its name from its founder, Giuseppe Banci, who first opened its doors in 1899, initially as a shop. A restoration workshop specialising in chandeliers and mirrors was added later.
The company quickly gained recognition for its skilled craftsmanship, remaining faithful to traditional techniques and materials. The district where Banci was originally based had been known since medieval times as a community of artists and craftsmen, and was renowned worldwide for its highly skilled metalworkers.
Thanks to this artistic and artisanal community, Florence developed into an important economic powerhouse and a meeting place for distinguished artists and craftsmen.
The city’s rich heritage, together with the extensive knowledge Giuseppe Banci acquired through years of restoration work, inspired him in the 1930s to begin creating the first Banci chandeliers alongside his two children, Gastone and Ghita.
Gastone passed away at a young age, but chandelier production continued under Ghita’s direction. Three of Gastone’s children later joined the company, and it was this generation that elevated the Banci name to new heights. They expanded into international markets and introduced new lighting designs, leading to new collections and distinctive creations, developed through a flourishing balance between unique handcrafted pieces and small-scale production runs.
Today, Jacopo Banci works alongside his father, Massimo Banci, continuing a tradition that spans over 100 years and four generations, embodying the cultural heritage and artisanal pride of Florence.
