The respected luxury brand PIGMENT FRANCE,
which joined the GIOBAGNARA group in January
2018, is a master at enhancing tableware and appliances
with different materials such as straw, willow, rattan
and, of course, several types of leather, bringing
a new luxury to everyday objects.
The pieces presented in the collection pay homage to
the creative variety and timeless poetry born from the
meticulous craftsmanship of these elements.
Looking to the PIGMENT FRANCE workshop with
its expert artisans, GIOBAGNARA aims to preserve
and further develop the huge potential of this lifestyle
manufacture.
French manual skills and craftsmanship shine through
in the beauty of its products, heritage and identity.
GIOBAGNARA wants to introduce the brand to a
more international audience that respects these values.
PIGMENT FRANCE creations live through time, as
they represent the combination of industry and talent;
the world is fascinated by the products from this land,
by the care in the selection of raw materials as well as
by the search for top-notch quality and creativity in
each and every stage of the production chain.
As John Ruskin once wrote: “Quality is never an
accident, it is always the result of high intention,
sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful
execution; it represents the wise choice of many
alternatives, the cumulative experience of many
masters of craftsmanship.”

Founded in 1969 in Milan by Rudi Rabitti and in
the Giobagnara family since 2015, Rabitti 1969 was
the frst brand to introduce home accessories crafted
entirely from saddle leather.
Part of the Giobagnara world, the brand celebrates the
authentic beauty of a material that evolves over time,
telling stories through every mark and nuance that
settle on its surface.
This Italian vegetable-tanned saddle leather stands out
for its inherent quality, expressed over time: every use
adds depth and character, transforming each piece into
an object that not only serves a purpose but enriches
life with memory and tangible value.
The aesthetic approach of Rabitti 1969 is rooted in
a modern elegance, where pure lines meet authentic
materiality to create objects with an immediately
recognizable identity.
With RABITTI1969, GIOBAGNARA is expanding
its offer, both by revisiting the house archives and
creating new collections.
Because saddle leather is thick and particularly sturdy,
it needs no reinforcement and makes it possible to
create objects entirely in leather.
In 1996, Rudi Rabitti trademarked in Milan
Tecnocuoio®, a composite material, both UV-
resistant and water-resistant, made from leather
castoffs from its own production.
The company was well ahead of its time in adhering
to a zero-waste philosophy that was both eco-
friendly and functional.
While the company has focused on contract work, the
acquisition of the brand in 2017 by Giobagnara resulted
in the decision to create two separate brands: Rabitti
1969 for products made from genuine leather; and
RUDI for items created from regenerated leather.
Giobagnara sees an opportunity to introduce RUDI
products to a wider audience. The company is
pursuing a more decorative approach, able to explore
new languages and enhance the properties of
Tecnocuoio®. It is enlarging the number of product
categories and expanding the number of aesthetic
solutions for interior design projects, high-end
Ho.Re.Ca and the yacht interiors market.
The objective of RUDI is to eliminate all leather
waste and create beautiful objects from recycled
materials that are perfect both for indoors and
outdoors, able to generate an elegant yet casual
atmosphere where simple lines play with complex
patterns, looking for practical yet always original
solutions.
RUDI can now be viewed as more than just a brand
name. It is a model of Italian ingenuity where
Giobagnara has brought together all of its know-how
and creativity in an effort to raise ecological awareness.
