Banci Firenze – named after its founder Giuseppe Banci, who first opened his company’s doors in 1899, initially as a shop and later adding a workshop where they restored chandeliers and mirrors. They quickly became renowned as skilled craftsmen, working as in the past and using the same materials. The district in which Banci was located has been known since medieval times as the “Guild of Artists and Craftsmen” and was world-famous for its skilled blacksmiths. Thanks to this guild, the city of Florence became a significant economic power and a center where famous artists and craftsmen met. The city’s history and the knowledge gained through years of restoration inspired Giuseppe Banci in the 1930s to start producing the first “Banci” chandeliers with his children Gaston and Ghita. Gaston died young, but the production of chandeliers did not end there; the Banci business was taken over by Ghita, and later, Gaston’s three children joined the company. This generation elevated the Banci name to a new level. They expanded sales to other countries and created new light models. This led to new collections and unique items in a flourishing symbiotic relationship between one-of-a-kind pieces and small series productions. Today, Jacopo Banci collaborates with his father, Massimo Banci, making the Banci company a cultural value and a craftsman’s pride of Florence for 100 years and four generations.
