Factory Savio Firmino famous for its craft traditions and woodworking

Factories SAVIO FIRMINO - 70 years. To celebrate this event, she sponsored an exhibition dedicated to the works of Renaissance artists from the Ghirlandaio family. Where does such an interest in art come from? The fact is that the president and chief designer of the brand Guido Savio is an art historian and sculptor by training. His furniture creations can also be called unique. The new collection of the factory uses ash, the carved details are silver plated. Florence (where the production is located) has long been famous for woodcarvers, and at the factory SAVIO FIRMINO try to maintain these traditions. The collection's decoration is a bed with a carved back (carved in the form of flower garlands tied with ribbons, applied on both sides), the creation of which Guido Savio inspired, again, the Renaissance.
