Florence Factory CRAFTSMANSHIP CURATING

Florence Factory is the first studio-shop dedicated to high Florentine craft

Florence Factory comes from the will of showing a Florence’s hidden side, detached from
tourism big numbers and brighting showcases and having its roots in handcraft labs,
hidden Botteghe, in limited productions. That’s why the first studio-shop dedicated to high
Italian craftsmanship will open this April, with the aim to select, aggregate and distribute
products of historical and contemporary

local manufacturing, and it is no coincidence it
arises in a hotel. Florence Factory’s main goal is to provide unique contents and experiences by making
available local brand products with a high historicity or contemporaneity level, product
quality or production techniques; by distributing the collections in the studio-shop in
Florence and by enriching the experiential offering with the creation of events and
professional partnership. FF represents a cross-channel experience between digital and physical locations and
speaks to an aware and advanced customers audience, focusing on international
incoming tourism. That is the reason why Florence Factory opens up its first pop-up shop
in the Plaza Hotel Lucchesi in Florence where, in a beautiful location in the heart of the
city, arts and crafts meet their audience. FF offers, therefore, an innovative shopping and entertainment experience where it is
possible to visit and learn about more Botteghe at the same time, discover some of the
most striking local productions, see some craftsmen at work, buy hard to find products and
take part to dedicated workshop and courses.

Magnets are fine for fridges, but leather is better for the soul. If you’re going to take a piece of Tuscany home, let it be something that smells of the tannery and feels like the sun on the Lungarno.

Our sandals are made-to-order by hands that have forgotten more about leather than most machines will ever know. Minimalist design, maximum technical expertise, and a patina that gets better with every transatlantic flight.

A handmade porcelain cruet crafted in Florence, designed as both a functional object and a sculptural presence on the table.
Its glazed interior contrasts with a raw, tactile exterior, giving the piece a quiet but distinctive material character.

The clean, essential shape takes inspiration from 1960s Brutalist architecture: bold lines, visual strength, and a contemporary attitude.

Each piece is made by Claudio through a casting process using custom-designed molds. The result is precise in form, yet unique in the subtle variations that make handmade objects so special.

Discover it now in our shop, together with the full selection of pieces by our artisans.

Silk, shaped by hand.

Made from real silkworm cocoons, this necklace is crafted by Gulnara, a Florence-based artisan working within centuries-old silk traditions. The palette — ochre, black, red, blue — is drawn from natural dyes and quiet memory.

Each piece is a study in transformation: cocoon to color, fiber to form. Unpolished in spirit, precise in ex*****on.

Silkworm cocoons.
100% handmade in Tuscany.

8 Secrets to Spot Authentic Florentine Craftsmanship
(Hint: It’s not hanging in bulk by the door.)

Think you can tell handmade from mass-produced at a glance?
Here are three telltale signs to sharpen your eye:

Imperfectly perfect details—real stitching is never too perfect.

Price matters—craft takes time, skill, and serious materials.

Ask the maker—a true artisan won’t just answer, they’ll light up.

The other five?
You’ll find them (and plenty of juicy stories) on our blog.

Wisława Szymborska

Ringraziamento

Devo molto
a quelli che non amo.

Il sollievo con cui accetto
che siano più vicini a un altro.

La gioia di non essere io
il lupo dei loro agnelli.

Mi sento in pace con loro
e in libertà con loro,
e questo l’amore non può darlo,
né riesce a toglierlo.

Non li aspetto
dalla porta alla finestra.
Paziente
quasi come una meridiana,
capisco
ciò che l’amore non capisce,
perdono
ciò che l’amore mai perdonerebbe...

Some thing are sensual even if imperceptible to the senses

Handmade porcelain single flower vase.
This vase is hand formed on the potters’ wheel and has a gold luster finish on top.
Each vase is unique.

Gold luster on top, the white porcelain is unglazed and easy to clean. Glazed on the inside.
