ARTECORNICI di Frosali S.

With over 40 years of experience, ARTECORNICI by Frosali S. is an outstanding example of excellence in the production of fine handcrafted frames, made from carefully selected precious woods and refined finishes such as water-gilded gold, burnished silver, pickled and lacquered woods, walnut, and many other high-quality variations. Each frame is the result of meticulous manual work that combines tradition and innovation, reflecting the art and craftsmanship typical of Florentine artistic woodworking.

The company was founded in 1987 in the heart of Scandicci, a cradle of master artisans, thanks to the experience of founder Giuliano Frosali, a master in creating custom frames and high-quality wooden artifacts. In 2000, the innovative vision of his son Simone led to an expansion of the product range and the birth of ARTECORNICIdesign, integrating artisanal production with new lines of mirrors, furniture accessories, and high-end handcrafted furniture.

In 2012, the acquisition of the historic Arcadia printshop and Raffaello Florence — the oldest Italian printshop still in operation — allowed ARTECORNICIdesign to expand its offerings to include vintage prints, artistic graphics, and maps, all produced using traditional intaglio printing techniques from the 18th and 19th centuries, and finished with hand-applied watercolor by Tuscan master painters. These products represent a true journey through time, bringing a piece of European history and culture into homes and public spaces.

At the heart of the company is its team of skilled artisans, who work with passion and dedication every day to create unique and customized frames. The know-how passed down from generation to generation, the obsessive attention to detail, and the focus on quality enable ARTECORNICIdesign to produce items that are true works of art, capable of enhancing any painting, print, or visual artwork.

ARTECORNICIdesign’s handcrafted frames stand out for their variety of styles and finishes, suited to satisfy a wide range of tastes and interior styles: from classical Florentine motifs of the 1300s to contemporary lines, from floral decorations to country styles, from lacquered and patinated finishes to luxury solutions with inlays and refined details. Each frame can be made to measure upon request, offering total customization in terms of size, color, and decoration — ideal for private homes, luxury accommodations, yachts, and public spaces.

The production goes far beyond just frames, including custom-made mirrors, decorative accessories, table and wall lamps with wooden finishes and mirror inserts, and handcrafted furniture such as consoles, coffee tables, bookcases, sideboards, and beds — all internally produced with selected materials and top-level artisanal techniques. These products are designed to create elegant, refined, and welcoming environments where every piece tells a story of Italian craftsmanship and design.

Each production phase is carefully managed with skill and attention: from the selection of fine woods such as cherry, solid pine, and walnut, to the carving and decoration steps, from the application of lacquers and gilding to the final quality check. The process includes traditional techniques such as water gilding, punchwork, and burin engraving — ancient manual methods that give each piece artistic value and an unrivaled finish.

ARTECORNICIdesign also offers customized shipping and delivery services both in Italy and abroad, ensuring the utmost care in packaging, multilingual authenticity certificates, and — for private clients — even home installation services. The commercial network is structured to meet the needs of both clients and retailers, with special attention to personalization and style consultancy.

The company stands out for its ability to integrate art and design, tradition and innovation, but above all for the passion it pours into every single product: each frame, print, furniture accessory, or piece of furniture from ARTECORNICIdesign is a unique creation, a true expression of Italian artisanal excellence and Made in Florence.

The collection of handcrafted prints includes subjects ranging from botany to historical architecture, from religious themes to maps, all made using manual intaglio and press printing techniques, and finished with watercolors applied by master painters. These prints are authentic masterpieces that complete ARTECORNICIdesign’s offerings and can be perfectly integrated into custom frames to enhance any space.

ARTECORNICIdesign is also a reliable partner for architects, interior designers, and decorators looking for high-quality solutions for private homes, luxury hotels, yachts, and other accommodations that demand special attention to detail and design. Through personalized consultancy, ARTECORNICIdesign guides clients through all project phases — from material selection to finish definition — ensuring impeccable and tailored results.

With more than four decades of history, ARTECORNICIdesign continues to renew its offering with new shapes, finishes, and products, investing in research and development and in preserving the most authentic artisanal techniques. This commitment has made the company a recognized reference point both nationally and internationally, exporting to many countries and participating in the main industry fairs.
