Toscanini

Toscanini began in 1920 in Valsesia, where the family, originally from the Piacenza Apennines, set up a sawmill at Isolella Sesia. Four generations later the company designs and produces wooden and plexiglass clothes hangers and hanging systems, still made entirely in Italy, and it has turned the humble hanger into a design object it calls a portabiti, a clothes carrier.

Three collections answer three worlds: fashion, where Toscanini has worked with major brands since the 1980s on hanging solutions for boutiques; interiors, with made-to-measure hangers plus boxes, garment bags, shoe trees and scarf rings; and hospitality, through the Toscanini Hôtellerie line for hotels and restaurants. Giovanni and Federica Toscanini now lead the company.
