Banci Firenze takes its name from its founder, Giuseppe Banci, who first opened the doors of his business in 1899—initially as a shop, later adding a workshop where chandeliers and mirrors were restored. They quickly gained recognition as skilled craftsmen, working in traditional ways and using the same materials as in the past. The district of Florence where Banci was located had been known since medieval times as a guild of artists and artisans, renowned worldwide for its master blacksmiths. Thanks to this guild, Florence became a major economic force and a meeting point for notable artists and craftsmen.
It was precisely this rich history of the city, along with the knowledge Giuseppe acquired through years of restoration work, that inspired him in the 1930s to begin producing the first “Banci” chandeliers together with his children, Gastone and Ghita. Gastone passed away at a young age, but production continued under Ghita, and later three of Gastone’s children joined the company. This generation elevated the Banci name to a new level, expanding sales internationally and creating new lighting designs. This led to new collections and unique pieces, in a flourishing balance between one-of-a-kind works and small-scale production. Today, Jacopo Banci works alongside his father Massimo Banci, making Banci a cultural value and a source of artisanal pride in Florence for over 100 years and four generations.
