Our Borgo

Borgo Blanc MariClo’ is the name of our new company’ headquarters in the Tuscan countryside: a place of the heart, transformed from a family home into a place designed to welcome employees and customers. The name itself expresses the idea of a small community that shares the same commitment, sensitivity, and love for the home and for the Tuscan tradition.

This place, where we grew up and where it all started, marks a return to the origins of Blanc MariClo’ with a renewed and broadened vision. As rooms change their purpose, our history is rewritten. The spaces are widened to accommodate the showroom, creating a constant flow between the house and the garden.

It was the place of our childhood, it has become the laboratory of our style. It was the home of our parents, it has become a shared space. It was our dream, it has become a reality: a company that warmly welcomes guests, just like a home. Here, the doors of Blanc MariClo’s dream open to those who love our brand and share our philosophy.

How to get here

The project

The idea of bringing the company back to where it was born, among the fields and rose gardens, came from the desire to find a space that reflected our vision of living.

We imagined a place where beauty and harmony could express themselves and induce an emotion in line with the core of our textile and furniture products.

We were looking for a workplace closer to people’s needs, in which the ideas of productivity and creativity coexist to meet the ultimate aim of our project: contribute to the happiness of all who are part of the Blanc MariClo’ world.

We found that place at home.

The spaces

Borgo Blanc MariClo’ is a Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by greenery, studded with poplar groves and ablaze with sunflowers. It includes a large central premises, a patio, a guesthouse and a large garden.

During the first renovation, the old barn was restored to respect the original architecture and recreate the atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside of the early 19th century.

The reorganization of the spaces for the business relocation gave birth to a new idea of village, reinterpreting the sense of community in the deep bond that connects our family with the staff of Blanc MariClo’.

The extensive views over the garden, the showroom in the spaces that used to be our home, and the welcoming and comfortable offices are the results of the desire to create a welcoming and comfortable workplace.

People

At the heart of Blanc ’MariClo’ are the people who work for us and who, every day, share in a creative journey made of ideas, aspirations, goals.

We express gratitude towards those who help make our dreams come true with daily dedication, as we know that a company grows and expands only when everyone can contribute to its development and when the sense of belonging is strong and sincere.

Borgo Blanc MariClo’ is the tangible expression of this feeling in the shape of a place where you can broaden your sense of sharing, pursue new challenges, overcome difficulties while staying together as a family and as a company.

Nature

It is our constant source of inspiration. It is what connects us to the Tuscan countryside. Nature is part of our history and is continually referenced in the Blanc MariClo’ collections.

Relocating the company close to the fields and rose garden means combining our creativity with the renovation of the territory started by our parents, harmonizing the company’s needs with those of the environment and people.

Working in close contact with nature strengthens our commitment to act more responsibly towards our beloved Earth, preserving a beauty that is as seductive as it is fragile.

Beloved Earth

"Working here, where ancient gestures are renewed in the daily care of the rose garden and the fields, strengthens the commitment to act more responsibly towards our Beloved Earth."

"We win together"

When I started Blanc MariClò toghether with my sister Claudia, I was determined to create a line for the home that was romantic and country at the same time, because it did reflect my story, my life where I was born.
The Tuscan Country, where I lived and surraounded me, was my inspiration. The name Blanc Mariclò and its logo were created and hand designed in our first store in Florence, where I still remember being seated on the floor with no chairs nor furnitures among dust and rubbles.
Today, mum of 3 and continuously travelling, I get my inspirations from countries aroud the world, and from fashion..which is always in movement…a bit like me...

"It's only rock and roll but i like it."

As perhaps all women, I am millions of seemingly contrasting things together: I like playing piano but I also love rock music, classical dance but also snowboarding. I love being in the country, and the season I prefer is autumn.
Everyone says that Mariangela and I are very similar, but we feel very different even if we have those identical and strong principles that guide us in dealing with life and therefore also work.
Blanc MariClò is the expression of ourselves. Creativity is something very close to its essence and every new collection is always a bit to reveal ourselves. The inspirations are the result of study, research, curiosity.
