Tradition and innovation. Vision and concreteness.
Born in the post-war period thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Giulio Tanini , it quickly became a point of reference for the construction and interior design sector in Tuscany. In the early 60s, one of the most modern showrooms was opened in Florence , dedicated to the distribution of bathroom furnishings and ceramic products.
Soon, the company became a group and extended its business to large-scale projects, hotels and retail, crossing national borders and developing two divisions aimed at the world of hospitality and contract .
In 1989 , the second generation of the Tanini family created the Devon&Devon brand, specializing in classic bathrooms, which quickly became one of the company's greatest successes. Over the following thirty years, the brand established itself as a leader in the interior design and luxury bathroom furniture sector, with an increasingly consolidated international presence. This success contributed significantly to the group's growth until 2018, when the brand was sold.
In 2010 Ex.t was born, a contemporary design bathroom furniture brand. In the meantime, the showroom in Florence is renovated and enriched with new products and furnishing accessories, for a 360-degree offer.
In 2015, the digital revolution begins: TaniniHome is born, the online shop that allows the group to open the doors of the GiulioTanini store to new customers all over the world. A success that ends up contaminating the showroom in Florence, which in 2021 abandons its original name to transform itself into a space in which digital and material merge, offering customers a unique shopping experience.

The origins of GiulioTanini
In 1945 , in an Italy that was emerging from the rubble of the Second World War , Giulio Tanini, driven by a far-sighted entrepreneurial vision and a great passion for the world of construction , founded the company that would bear his name. The historical context was that of a country in great economic difficulty, but also in turmoil for the desire for rebirth and reconstruction . In this scenario, Giulio Tanini stood out for his pioneering spirit and for his ability to see beyond the challenges of the present, sensing the opportunities that the market could offer in the future. From the beginning, the company focused on offering innovative solutions in the field of construction and interior design, bringing high-quality products to the Tuscan market that meet the growing demand for modernization and development. Thanks to his innovative vision and tireless dedication, Giulio Tanini managed to transform his company into a point of reference in the sector . What began as a small family business has evolved over the years into a solid and established reality, a symbol of quality, excellence and attention to detail.
Inauguration of the First Showroom in Florence
In 1966, Tanini took another important step forward by opening one of the first modern showrooms in Florence, specializing in the distribution of bathroom furnishings and ceramic products. This space represented a new way of conceiving the purchase of home goods, offering customers an immersive experience and direct access to the latest trends in interior design. The showroom quickly became a point of reference, contributing to the growth of the brand in the luxury design sector.
Birth of the Technical Divisions
In 1980, Tanini further expanded its offering with the creation of the Technical Divisions, aimed at large projects and the professional sector. With these new divisions, the company entered the market of large works, collaborating with public building projects, luxury hotels and large commercial complexes. This step marked a new era for the company, which became a reference partner for architects and operators in the sector, offering not only quality products but also specialized technical consultancy and customized solutions.
Creation of the Devon&Devon Brand
In 1989, aiming to consolidate its position in the world of luxury interior design, Giulio Tanini launched Devon&Devon, a brand dedicated to classic-style bathroom furniture. Inspired by the atmospheres of the past, with a design that recalls elegant European period homes, Devon&Devon quickly became a cult brand for those looking for high-class furnishing solutions, combining Italian craftsmanship with a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic. This brand has helped define a new standard in the bathroom furniture sector, recognized internationally.
The Birth of the Ex.t Brand
With the company's constant growth and the desire to expand its influence in the world of design, in 2010 Ex.t was born, a brand dedicated to innovative and contemporary solutions for bathroom furniture . Ex.t immediately stands out for its experimental and minimalist approach, combining craftsmanship and industrial design in a perfect balance between form and function. This new brand expands the company's portfolio, positioning Tanini as a leader even in the most modern and avant-garde trends in the sector.
The Digital Revolution – TaniniHome Online
2015 marks a turning point for Tanini with the birth of taninihome.com , the company's first online shop. In an era in which e-commerce is establishing itself as a key component of corporate strategies, Tanini anticipates the times by bringing its selection of luxury and design products to a global audience. Taninihome.com becomes the channel through which the company reaches customers all over the world, offering them a fluid and refined shopping experience, with the same quality that distinguishes the physical showroom in Florence.
Showroom Restyling
In 2021, TaniniHome takes a further leap forward into the future by inaugurating the completely renovated interior design showroom . This space represents a perfect fusion between the physical and digital experience. GiulioTanini's historic store in Florence evolves, becoming TaniniHome, an innovative space where customers can explore the world of interior design in a completely new way.
