Officina Ciani Folk Art

Officina Ciani’s handmade furniture and lighting pieces combine traditional Florentine wrought-iron design and modern and contemporary styles.

The company’s history can be traced to the Emporio San Firenze, founded in 1939 by Bruno Ciani. During its heyday, the Emporio was known throughout Italy for its skill in designing and producing Florentine wrought-iron furnishings such as chairs, dining tables and lamps.

Today, Officina Ciani continues the Ciani family’s legacy by creating classic Italian wrought-iron pieces that blend seamlessly with modern 21st-century designs. Items such as chandeliers, wall lights, sofas and coffee tables are made with iron, steel, bronze and brass and enhanced with glass, mirrors, crystal, marble, wood and fabrics. The Ammos floor lamp, designed in collaboration with Ciarmoli Queda Studio, features a double-tapered stem upholstered in stingray skin marked with brass accents and a drum-shaped shade in pleated silk. 

Officina Ciani also has a line of high-quality garden furniture, which includes the Perennial chaise longue by Italian designer Silvia Refaldi and the timeless Rombo chair with a “curls and curves” structure. The Piazza outdoor dining table, inspired by the piazzas of Tuscany, has a Carrara marble top and semi-circular iron legs. Officina Ciani’s outdoor furniture features zinc-treated iron with a powder finish and weatherproof upholstery for durability.

Officina Ciani’s indoor and outdoor lighting and furniture collections are highly sought after by interior designers, landscape architects and aficionados of traditional Florentine wrought-iron pieces. Its furnishings have been featured in numerous international publications, including Marie Claire Maison, Casa Chic, Architectural Digest and Gardenia magazine.
