Elegant Italian bed

Original design combined with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship give the synonymous of Florence Art manufactory.

Tradition

Among the streets of Florence, you can breathe art, from S. Croce to Ponte Vecchio, and then again among sculptures, paintings, and furnishings of the Medici villas, an exceptional city, territory, where artists and artisans have found their life force for centuries. Florence Art was born in 1950 from this tradition, the manual skills of Tuscan craftsmen, love for art and beauty, passion for classics and what made this territory great. It was established as a sculptural manufactory and has always been a production brand that researches new products, designs them, creates samples, hand-sculpts them entirely, pantographs them, and prepares them for decoration. All production is carried out entirely in Florentine style; each element is designed by one of our designers and is unique.
Designing

Florence Art, with its internal designers, sculptors, and carpenters, can execute any type of work, even outside the Florentine style, as evidenced by some projects made for luxury hotels. On every Florence Art item, modifications and adjustments can be made, including work by carpenters entirely by hand. This way, the brand can furnish a bedroom, living room, bathroom, boudoir, according to your design.

Style

The Florentine style is characterized by the way sculptures, finishes, and designs are executed, and these features are typical only of a very small area, such as Florence. Every item made in the Florentine style has carved parts, but with a current, fresh, elegant taste; each part is well “notched,” meaning well-defined, harmonizing with a classic yet very youthful style. The lines of the objects are simultaneously elegant and romantic. Silver, colored, and gold finishes make each line even more elegant and youthful.

Pattern and sculpture

Sculpture results from the increasingly difficult-to-preserve legacy of Florentine traditions, distinguished by grace, harmony, and serving as a highlight and identifier of the entire production line. As in Florence, it cannot be confused with other geographical areas. Professional figures with great skills and design knowledge are required, such as a “sculptor,” who must create “models” of each item and then sculpt them.
A model is the part used to reproduce the sculpture with a pantograph, and to create it, it must first have a scaled drawing of the item, then be entirely hand-carved in wood. It is cut into pieces because the pantograph works on segments no wider than about 20 cm and about 190 cm long. The pantograph requires a “Pantograph” to replicate the model in 16 or 24 pieces, then “carpenters,” but highly specialized, because they need to know how to assemble the carved elements. Only these three professionals ensure that the production is more skilled and valuable.
Decoration

Decoration, always entirely handmade, becomes an even more qualified element in various finishes; those made in Florence are incomparable with those from any other geographical area:

“Gouache” decoration, used throughout art history, from the Renaissance born in Florence and in all other stylistic periods, applies to both gold leaf (e.g., Zecchino and Antique Patina) and real silver leaf finishes (Ghiaccio, Bianco, Consumato, Strappato), which could then be covered with Meccata (coated with a special, ancient color, still used, called Mekka, in finishes, Mekka and MeccaAntica), to resemble gold when, in the past, there was no money to buy real gold.
