From its headquarters on Venice’s Grand Canal, Rubelli creates sophisticated and innovative high-tech fabrics that adorn the interiors of the world’s contemporary state-of-the-art buildings, and recreates centuries-old fabrics to restore iconic interiors.

However, during the 2017 edition of the Salone Del Mobile in Milan – the most important furniture fair in the world – Rubelli Casa made its elegant debut, with the firm’s first furniture collection.

With designs from Luca Scacchetti and Nava+Nava Design Studio, the new collection has been described as being a reinvention of the mid-century style that is currently in fashion, the new collection includes the Clinton chair and Palazzo sofa with a distinct vintage look.

Still located at Venice’s Palazzo Corner Spinelli, Rubelli is directed by Nicolò Favaretto Rubelli, the fifth generation of the renowned textile family, who as CEO orchestrates a global empire along with his father Avvocato Alessandro Favaretto Rubelli, Chairman of the company and his brother Andrea Favaretto Rubelli, Chairman of Donghia, that includes fabrics, furnishings, wallpapers and accessories.
