Luis Banchero our Founder
For 20 years, Luis Banchero exercised the art of upholstery in Boca Raton with high quality service and respect to the community. His customers joyfully delight in watching their furniture transform with fabrics' and accessories that are treated with great care and respect. Luis catered for all customers with the same privilege, giving priority to his customers' decorative feeling. He absolutely understood that every project is personal and that is exactly how they are treated, giving forward the best effort on each piece.
In 2010, Luis had a change that allowed him to improve in the quality of his services and gave many satisfactions to a number of decorators, clients, architects, designers and friends who sought and continue to seek his expertise. Every day Luis thanked each and every one of them, as he says:
"NOBODY IS PERFECT BUT WITH HEART AND SOUL ONE CREATES THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHS OF LIFE".
Sofas, chairs, cushions, walls, beds; so many pieces he has worked on and remembers the very special moment his hands have transformed each piece to a beautiful new creation. To Luis it's not just any pillow, any sofa, or any chair. Each piece of furniture is YOURS and holds a dear spot in your home. With the help of new high quality fabrics, vinyl, and leather, Luis is able to design a new personal identity to each piece of furniture, bringing a new scenery into your household. The art of upholstery is simply the combination of the threads with the exact colors to give particular inspiration. That understanding is enjoyment and it gives Luis an enormous smile to see his product bring new light into your home.
After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Luis passed away five years ago, leaving behind not only a beloved family, but a legacy built through decades of craftsmanship, relationships, and dedication to his trade.
Today, that legacy lives on through his sons, Leandro and Lautaro Banchero, who proudly carry Genova Upholstery forward.
For Leandro, Genova has been a part of his life since he was in high school. Now with 15 years of experience in the business, he has spent much of his life learning the trade firsthand, working alongside his father and developing a deep understanding of the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and personal service that Luis built Genova upon.
Together, Leandro and Lautaro represent the next generation of Genova Upholstery, carrying forward the principles their father established: treat every customer with respect, approach every project as something personal, never compromise on craftsmanship, and put heart and soul into the work.
While Genova continues to grow and evolve, its foundation remains unchanged. Every sofa restored, every chair reimagined, every fabric carefully selected, and every home transformed carries forward a piece of what Luis began.
His hands built the foundation. His sons are carrying the legacy forward.
