Achievements

This family tradition displays no sign of diminishing, with Gabriella Arcidiacono (above) joining the ranks in 2006 and taking the company into its fourth generation. Apart from providing a knowledgeable, dedicated customer experience, Boris Arcidiacono became the European number one in sales per capita for Tempur products in 2008.

The company supplied 160 double bed mattresses to the Mellieha Holiday Centre in Malta.
history
Santo Arcidiacono, an Italian hailing from Riposto, on the eastern coast of Sicily, founded the business in 1908 and originally occupied a small shop on Strada Reala, Hamrun. Eventually the business moved to San Paolo (St Paul Street) in Valletta. Santo gained a reputation for handcrafting fine furniture for the local elite, nobles and those with high expectations.
Giuseppe Arcidiacono joined his father Santo in the Valletta shop and learnt his trade as an artisan, becoming equally skilled in furniture manufacture. A need to expand saw the family business move their premises to Msida in 1936, where Arcidiacono senior invested 3,000 Pounds to purchase and build a large complex incorporating a manufacturing facility, showroom and residence. (above: The inside of the Msida workshop, an oil painting by Giuseppe Arcidiacono) The complex was named ‘The Period and Modern Furniture Factory’. The Msida factory had a full complement of wood working machinery imported from Milan. Wartime repatriation and exile saw Giuseppe, the eldest son, as the only family member allowed to remain in Malta, in control of the Msida factory. Boris ArchidiaconoHis father, uncles and aunts were sent overseas, some to Egypt, some to Australia, and some to Sicily.
