Our story

Florian flo · ri · a · nus
The name

Florian comes from the Latin florere — to flower, to flourish, to come into full form. The root is flos, floris: flower. It traveled through Central Europe and became a name carried for centuries in Belgium, France, and Austria — the region our products come from.

The Caffè Florian in Venice, opened in 1720 and still running, was where artists, architects, and makers of things gathered — the original meeting place of European craft and culture. There is something in that history that felt right for what we are building.

We did not choose the name for the etymology.
We chose it because it sounded like something that takes its time.

Florian Lighting

The finish, the fixture, and the switch plate. Made with an exactness that shows.
in the weight of a component, the geometry of a form, the surface that holds its character over decades of use.


We work with architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and AV integrators who need products that hold up aesthetically and structurally over the life of a project.
