Giulio Tanini

What Giulio Tanini does

Giulio Tanini S.p.A. is an Italian family-owned interior fit-out group founded in Florence in 1945, operating as a single interlocutor for complex interior and architecture projects across residential, hospitality, retail, corporate, and healthcare sectors. The group coordinates an integrated service stack covering project consulting, coordinated material supply, custom Made-in-Italy production (notably an in-house marble and stone laboratory), specialized installation, project management, and international logistics. The business is organized around three complementary entities: GiulioTanini Group (contract and fit-out services), Ex.t (manufacturing hub for bathroom and contemporary interior collections including Frieze, Nostalgia, and Alcova), and TaniniHome (retail and digital channel).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services and one-time material/product sales, with pricing determined via tailored quotations rather than published price lists. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with direct engagement of architects, interior designers, developers, and corporate clients supported by offices in Florence (headquarters and showroom), Milan (showroom and sales), and from 2026 a London development office. Documented enterprise clients include Gucci, Ferragamo, Saint Laurent, Tod's, Banca Ifis, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, and AOUC Careggi, alongside a portfolio of high-end private residential projects.

The group has no external institutional investors, no public listing, and is controlled by the Tanini family with Ingrid Tanini as CEO and Azzurra Tanini as President. Recent strategic priorities include the 80th anniversary repositioning (December 2025), the UK market expansion (2026), and the Alcova product launch at Milano Design Week 2026. Employee count is 11-50 with no disclosed revenue or funding.
