Founded in 1956 in Desio, in the heart of Brianza (Italy), by Francesco Malberti and Luigi Riboldi under the name Rima Vetraria, Rimadesio was established as a company specialized in glass processing for furniture.From the very beginning, it developed a deep culture of the material: engravings, gilding, hand-applied colourings, executed one by one, define a body of knowledge founded on precision and quality. From here, a technical heritage took shape that has accompanied the company’s evolution, together with a constant openness to experimentation and the introduction of new materials.

“Rimadesio projects stand out, in addition to their exclusive style, also for their significant technical content, in which the construction detail tends to coincide with the aesthetic one. It is precisely in this convergence, in my opinion, that product quality is defined.”

Giuseppe Bavuso

The transition into the 1990s marked a decisive turning point. The encounter with Giuseppe Bavuso brought a design vision capable of transforming material into system. The designer introduced aluminium technology and developed its potential: this led to the creation of Siparium, a system of partition panels destined to become an iconic product in the collection. From that moment on, design assumed architectural value. Partition systems, doors, storage systems and boiserie, alongside an increasingly broad series of furnishing elements, interpret a new way of living, in which visual continuity and flexibility redefine the relationship between spaces. Thus, a coherent language was born, founded on rigor and formal essentiality, on the distinctive use of glass and aluminium, on the uniqueness of components and on a constant search for exclusive materials and finishings.

“My work is oriented toward the development of an authentic idea of living, conceived to be lived rather than displayed. In this perspective, I consider beautiful everything that contributes, in everyday life, to generating a condition of well-being and harmony.”

GIUSEPPE BAVUSO

Giuseppe Bavuso, architect and designer, lives and works in Seregno. His approach combines minimal rigor with in-depth technical research, applied to architecture, interior and industrial design. Since 1991 he has collaborated with Rimadesio, contributing decisively to its evolution and defining its design language as its sole reference designer.
