The history of the Brandigi Company and family began long ago in a small village in Tuscany
and continues still today, reaching many places around the world
The history of our Company and the Brandigi family is closely linked: it all began over a century ago.
It is the story of people with great ideas, keen dedication, and incredible foresight.
Every Brandigi who founded and then managed the company always believed in their own intuitions, first and then creating.
They were able to identify the potential in their inventions and design the best technologies to meet market needs.
Even today, we are able to meet the demands of the global market thanks to our family heritage of creativity, technology, and expertise.
The Brandigi brothers Chairs manufacturer
The Brandigi brothers, originally from the small village of Tosi, produced hand-crafted prestigious furniture, especially chairs. They quickly became known for the quality of their raw materials and the meticulous craftsmanship, which earned them awards at national and international exhibitions.
Ranieri Brandigi, together with his son Teodosio, invented and built the first machine for the automated production of marsh grass cords, used to make chair seats.
Until then, cords had been made exclusively by hand, requiring great effort and with low production yields.

1937 was a turning point for the Company.
The first industrial development of the production system was launched, an event that was consolidated with the registration of the related patent (“patent of the innovative machinery” 1940).
But above all, 1937 was the year Teodosio was blessed by a son, Carlo Brandigi.
The factory in S.Ellero
Given the growing demand for marsh grass cords and paper yarn, the Brandigi Factory moved to Sant’Ellero in Valdarno, where the railway station was nearby and where the construction of a larger factory was possible.

The industrial development
The Company grew day by day until it became the a company with a workforce of 100, one of the largest industrial concerns in the area at the times.
The Modern production plants were designed and built by Teodosio Brandigi and his son Carlo in our mechanical workshop.
Their work brought the Brandigi family great success and numerous patents, recognized worldwide.
