Description

The story of Andrea Fanfani is that of a passion blossoming in an extraordinary setting. Being educated in Florence means, absorbing, each and every day, a taste for beauty that stays emblazoned on the mind for the rest of one’s life.
It was in Florence that the founder, Andrea Fanfani, learned sophisticated decoration techniques, such as carving and gold leaf, immersed in the vibrancy of the artisan workshops of Florence’s San Frediano neighborhood.

While training in Florence, day by day, a taste for beauty forms, to remain for life. Andrea Fanfani knows how important this privilege is. He pays tribute to it in his work, through artistic creations drawing upon the greatest masterpieces of Renaissance art. Such a wealth of inspiration is expressed in a luxurious, sophisticated style, in full awareness of its representation of the privilege of beauty.
Skilled craftsmanship is the basis for the great Italian furniture tradition, in the footsteps of which Andrea Fanfani’s work follows. Every piece of furniture is made and decorated by hand only, with the utmost care and attention according to the ancient culture of Florentine workshops set up to decorate and furnish the Renaissance palaces there, for which Florence remains famous throughout Europe.
It is not only care and attention that bring prestige to an Andrea Fanfani piece. Only 23 kt gold leaf is used in the gilding technique, applied strictly by hand according to the Florentine“guazzo” (gouache gilt) technique, an ancient decorative art dating back to the 13th century. The end result ensures startling brilliance and durability over time.
