The Savio Firmino Legacy: A Tale of Passion and Perseverance
The Savio Firmino story begins in 1941, in the heart of Florence — the cradle of the Renaissance and a city synonymous with artistry and innovation.
Firmino Savio, born into a humble peasant family in 1904, embarked on a journey that would eventually revolutionise the world of luxury furniture. After honing his skills under the tutelage of a master woodcarver named Strobino, Firmino made the bold decision to open his own workshop in Florence's Santo Spirito district. With nearly depleted financial resources but an abundance of courage and creativity, he laid the foundation for what would become a global icon in luxury furniture making.
The early years saw Firmino crafting exquisite gilded wood chandeliers and hand-carved candlesticks. By the 1950s, Savio Firmino had caught the attention of the international market, particularly in the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, with its collection of exclusive sculpted mirrors adorned with gold leaf, crystals, brass, and semi-precious stones.
As the business flourished, it remained a family affair. Firmino's sons, Guido and Amedeo, joined the company, bringing fresh ideas and innovation while maintaining the core values of exceptional craftsmanship. Today, the third generation of the Savio family - Cosimo, Gregorio, and Michela - continue to uphold this legacy of excellence.

Here are some of our favourite Savio Firmino pieces, each perfectly suited for creating a luxurious nursery that exudes warmth, comfort, and unparalleled style.

Handcrafted from solid wood, the Notte Cot is designed to last a lifetime and beyond. Its Italian-inspired design features intricate carvings and delicate details that showcase the skill of Savio Firmino's master craftsmen. The cot's headboard is a work of art in itself, with an ornate carved frame surrounding a padded panel upholstered in luxurious fabric. The cot's side rails are adorned with elegant spindles, ensuring both safety and style. The finials at each corner add a touch of regal charm, reminiscent of classic Italian design.
