In nearly 85 years of history, tradition, and innovation, Savio Firmino has drawn inspiration from the forms and values of classic style, learned with expertise in its first artisan workshop in the heart of Oltrarno, the hub of Firenze's artistic craftsmanship since the Renaissance. Over the years, the company has infused all its collections with this invaluable cultural heritage, making them exclusive and original.
Attention to detail, artisan passion, and skilled, precious manual craftsmanship - these are the distinctive elements that have continued to characterize the Savio Firmino product for four generations. Each piece is designed and created to meet the highest expectations of comfort while maintaining the harmony of form. It’s furniture that expresses understated and graceful excellence.
Founded in 1941 by Firmino Savio, an expert carver, the first Savio Firmino collection featured wooden chandeliers, candle holders, and torchiere lamps, all hand-carved and gilded.
In the 1950s, Savio Firmino gained the attention of the international market, especially in the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, with its collection of exclusive mirrors, hand-carved and decorated with gold leaf, crystals, brass, and semi-precious stones.
In the 1980s, Savio Firmino expanded its product range by introducing the Ambiente Notte Collection, dedicated to bedroom furniture. During these years, from an inspired design by Guido Savio, the founder’s son, the art. 1696 bed was created, featuring elegant carved ribbons and flowers. The 1696 became the symbol of Savio Firmino and remains its most recognized product internationally to this day.
In the 1990s, the new Savio Firmino headquarters was opened in the industrial hub of Scandicci (Firenze, Tuscany), which houses the most important Italian fashion and design brands. The company is recognized and appreciated worldwide for its unmistakable style.
The 2000s saw the entry of the third generation of the Savio family into the business: Cosimo, Gregorio, and Michela now lead the family company alongside the founder’s two sons, Amedeo and Guido.
In 2008, the Notte Fatata Collection was launched, the first high-level children’s furniture ever created, and still today the most exclusive available on the market. Dedicated to children, it was specifically designed by Guido Savio to celebrate the birth of his first granddaughter. This exclusive and complete collection of cradles, beds, changing tables, castles, and study desks is the perfect expression of the Savio Firmino style, even for the youngest.
Today, Savio Firmino uses blockchain technology to register its products, offering consumers clear and transparent information about their origins, materials, and craftsmanship. Moreover, it is considering the integration of EUDR certification, in compliance with European deforestation regulations set to take effect in 2026, further strengthening its commitment to sustainability and a responsible, renewable supply chain.
Savio Firmino, then as now, draws inspiration from the values of tradition, while utilizing innovative techniques and cutting-edge machinery that allow the company to share its historical expertise with the world.
