Creativity, innovation, respect for the environment,
heritage and the taste for challenge; these are the values that have
always distinguished Rimadesio and have inspired the cycle of
events in celebration of the Company’s fi rst 60 years. Over four
important encounters, four extraordinary people expressed the
virtues that make the philosophy of the company unique since 1956.
This volume, almost an appraisal of a special year, puts
together the records of these “unconventional” enounters, joined,
at the beginning of every chapter by the contribution of four
young contemporary artists. Their intervention embodies
an additional, unforeseen but highly visible value: to probe
contemporaneity, to understand it, to move at ease in the variety
of complex and discordant languages that characterize it.
Rimadesio becomes the advocate of avant-garde content
drawing from reality its most precious teaching: to innovate
continuously, keeping an eye on their roots and on the future.
Immediato il motivo che porta le singole narrazioni a dialogare
con quella più ampia dedicata all’anniversario Rimadesio:
un’affi nità di interesse verso gli spazi dell’uomo e della vita che
da 60 anni porta l’azienda a defi nire precise soluzioni per l’abitare.
Il risultato di questa avventura, il volume che abbiamo
tra le mani, è un oggetto che nella sua eterogeneità racconta
di una storia intangibile ma viva, di una missione perseguita
con lucidità esatta da 60 anni. Capitolo dopo capitolo, storia
dopo storia, va disvelandosi al fruitore il fi ne ultimo di tutta
l’operazione, il valore fondamento e guida dell’attività
di Rimadesio da sempre: la ricerca della bellezza e dell’armonia
come valori assoluti e trasversali.
Four artists are involved, united by the subject underlying
their stories: space as a fascinating metaphorical entity and
the meanings that it brings. The immediate reason leading to the
individual narratives in dialogue with the wider one dedicated
to Rimadesio’s anniversary: an affi nity of interest towards human
and living space that for 60 years has lead the company to defi ne
precise solutions for living.
The result of this adventure, the volume that we have in our
hands, is an object that in its heterogeneity tells an intangible but
living history, a mission that has been pursued in perfect lucidity
for 60 years. Chapter after chapter, story after story, revealing
the ultimate aim of the whole operation to the end user, the pillar
value and driving force of Rimadesio from the start: the research
for beauty and harmony as absolutes and transversal values.
