What Marretti does

Marretti is an Italian designer and manufacturer of bespoke luxury staircases, railings, and balustrades, with Tuscan craftsmanship roots dating to the 1920s. Headquartered in Signa near Florence at Via del Crocifisso 48, with an additional production facility in Modena, the company operates 5,000 square meters of indoor manufacturing space across three factories and employs between 11 and 50 people. Since 1970, every interior staircase component has been designed and produced in-house under one roof.

The product portfolio is organized into multiple categories: a Grand Design ultra-premium line (AUREA 24k gold-plated, ALMA custom glass, ALBA iron-and-glass, VERA LED, ASTRO helical marble, MYTO solid wood); self-supporting structures (CONCORDE, COMPON, STEEL); cantilever designs (ORIGAMI in COR-TEN, ALA DI GABBIANO wing-step, SCAFO boat-hull, NUVOLA cloud, DIAMANTE faceted); spiral staircases (SKYWALK all-glass); and complementary balustrade systems (structural glass, Gaudì decorative, stainless steel). Marretti holds proprietary technology including the patented DIAMANTE wall-fixing system certified to 150 kg per step, an exclusive out-of-tank galvanic finishing process for 24k gold plating, and structural glass railing systems built with mechanical joints and no visible welds. Manufacturing combines Florentine artisan craftsmanship with in-house robotic CNC machining centers, polishing, packaging, and assembly departments. Materials span wood species (oak, walnut, teak, doussié, iroko), stainless steel, COR-TEN steel, tempered and structural glass, marble, stone, and Dupont Corian.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and project-based, with quote-based pricing and no published price lists. Customers initiate engagement through five-language websites, phone (+39 055 8734735), or international trade shows (NYC BDNY, Swissbau, Home Design Miami, NYC Luxury Fair), then request a free consultation and personalized quote. The company serves three primary segments — affluent residential homeowners (primary), luxury real estate developers, and commercial/hospitality clients — and distributes exclusively through its own channels with no resellers or intermediaries. Brand visibility is supported by premium publication advertising (Architectural Digest, Florida Design, Gordon Drive, Wall Street Journal) and a series of industry recognitions: A+ Architizer awards in 2015 (ORIGAMI), 2016 (CONCORDE), and 2024 (AUREA), Architizer Finalist 2025, and IADA Gold Winner 2025.
