Born mid last century as a glass workshop, already in the 60’s,
thanks to the founder Antonio Lupi, became an industrial reality.
The factory occupied 5.000 sqm in Stabbia, a small town in
the province of Florence. Dedicated to the bathroom since
the early days, the antoniolupi production, at that time called
Cristal Lupi Luxor, immediately distinguished itself on the Italian
and International market for the quality and attention to detail
as well as its tailor-made production. At that time, Antonio had
understood what the secret was of a product “made in Italy”:
industrial dimensions to address growing markets, highly accurate
artisan workmanship, highly qualified experts as well as another
successful feature: orders shipped with speed, precision and
accuracy...in conclusion the basics that could be defined as the
company’s DNA.
During the second half of the 80’s the children of Antonio join
the company: Andrea, Nello, Patrizia and Sergio. A decisive
turning point towards design and collaboration with prestigious
architects, designers as well as with young designers that rush
to participate in contests organized by the company in hopes to
see their ideas carried out. This is how innovative collections and
icon pieces anticipate the trends of the bathroom converting it
into a wellness area in the center of a modern home. The artistic
world opens up and the “vascabarca” is designed, the production
is enriched with mats, and furnishings, antoniolupi showrooms
begin to open around the globe after the first in Milan. A collection
of fireplaces is launched and the bathroom becomes the heart of
the home.
