Founded in 1963, the Franco Lapini workshop is based in Calenzano, just a few kilometres from Florence. It creates highly exclusive table accessories and objects, crafted entirely by hand using ancient and immediately recognisable techniques, mastered to perfection, such as hammering, chasing and repoussé. Forms and inspiration draw directly from the lavish banquets of the Florentine Renaissance, giving rise to exceptional pieces designed to adorn and distinguish the finest tables.
