Petri Firenze offers unique items that blend the beauty of nature with the craftsmanship skills to highlight every detail, using both new and ancient techniques. These are exclusive collections created in the Petri workshop in San Casciano Val di Pesa, on the hillside of Florence. Here, in the heart of the Chianti region, where art, nature, history, and technique have always coexisted and intertwined, Simone Petri founded a company capable of creating true objects of wonder.

Elegant shells, fossils, gemstones, crystals, corals, noble woods, and animal horns meet precious metals to become furniture accessories rich in charm and stories to tell. In this way, they transform into something unique, original, timeless, and capable of retaining their allure forever.

The creations of Petri's workshop are inspired by the old "Wunderkammer," cabinets of curiosities that eighteenth-century European travelers created from their memories, so that ordinary exotic and extraordinary objects, treasuries of function and memories, had their place as home decorations. Now, just as then, these insights provide the spaces we live in with reminders of all the wonders nature can offer. However, Petri's workshop products surpass the inspiration and charm of the "Wunderkammer," intertwining with contemporary design, material furnishing, and the main elegant touch of modern craftsmanship.

History of Petri Firenze

Dynamic, unique collections, attention to detail, and the ability to produce both small and large quantities, respecting the needs and deadlines of the client: these have always been the strengths of the company. Founded in 1991, it initially specialized in cutlery and silver furniture accessories, thanks to the experience of the owners gained in other Florentine companies in the industry. With this consolidated "know-how," the company began producing for many leading global manufacturers in the silver decoration industry.

However, over time, public tastes and market needs changed, prompting Simone Petri to experiment with new approaches. The collections became more diverse and are now renewed twice a year, while still maintaining a connection with traditional silver work, enriched with extraordinary objects and materials, from gemstones to quartz, from corals to shells, from animal horns to fossils. Petri is capable of managing the entire production cycle: from the design of the object, even using the latest technology, to the realization of prototypes, up to the delivery of the item, finished in every detail.

With new collections, in addition to the Italian market, which was dominant in the early years, exports have been added, which now constitute the "main activity" of the company with significant commercial opportunities, especially throughout Europe, the United States, and Arab countries. Its participation in major trade fairs, such as Maison et Objet in Paris and Homi in Milan, has also had a significant impact.

Today, in addition to supplying other companies and specialty stores, the Petri artisan company primarily collaborates with architects and interior designers: professionals seeking unique, even custom-made pieces. Small and large works of art that add a touch of magic to the environments in which they are placed.

One thing, however, has not changed: for Simone and his collaborators, creating "objects of wonder" is not just work: it is also fun, passion, and love for beauty. A way to share the pleasure of their discoveries with the company's clients.
