Rimadesio plans new headquarters for 2027

A sculpture suspended in the green. This is the gift Rimadesio decided to give itself to celebrate its first 70 years of history: a new headquarters that does not consume soil, but regenerates an industrial architecture designed by ACPC Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.

"A starting point for the next 70 years," defines CEO Davide Malberti, explaining that the new structure in Giussano will house offices, showroom and production area, for an official opening at the beginning of next year, in view of the 2027 edition of Milan Design Week. This year, however, the physical evolution is reflected in a celebratory narrative that will culminate in an extraordinary event inside Palazzo Isimbardi, a seventeenth-century Milanese building, which will be open to the public from 21 to 26 April. Here the brand will present the new collection and an artistic installation that plays with light and transparencies, materials that symbolise its elective affinity with architect Giuseppe Bavuso, with whom the company has been collaborating for over thirty years. "We liked to emphasise the peculiarities on which our company is founded: our history, technology and values," explains Malberti. The first chapter of Becoming, the narrative concept that during 2026 will propose a series of initiatives designed to connect art, architecture and design culture.

The milestone of 70 years comes in a complex context, marked by conflicts and the uncertainty of tariffs. Yet Rimadesio is not retreating, after a 2025 in which turnover grew to 88.6 million euros. Although the United States has contracted, it remains a priority market, as do the Middle East and Asia, areas in which new openings of monobrand shops are planned. In China, despite the market slowdown, the brand will launch Rimadesio China in 2026 and will open a new sales, exhibition and training centre in Shenzhen in autumn in an avant-garde area of the most dynamic Chinese metropolis.

Supporting the international thrust is a supply chain rooted in the territory, a pioneering commitment to sustainability (the first energy self-production system dates back to 2008 and will be enhanced in 2025 by a new photovoltaic plant) and investments of almost four million on production lines in the last year alone. This efficiency makes it possible to protect the network of 90 single-brand stores and five direct flagship stores from cost fluctuations determined by the appreciation of raw materials: "The stability of our price list is fundamental," says Malberti. "We cannot change prices every year. We absorb raw material increases to protect the end customer'.
