Ratti partner of Accademia Costume e Moda

Also in 2023, the partnership between Ratti and the Costume and Fashion Academy of Rome and the Master Fabrics Innovation Design course continue.

The project, which involved 7 students of different nationalities, started from a precise brief launched by the Ratti style office, which asked for an investigation into the past of one’s culture, highlighting how this could have had a creative development that could be translated into a proposal for printing or jacquard within a collection.

Among all the works, the following were selected: Eloise D’ aprile who presented a project entitled “Fernwhe” focused on the classic themes of Greek mythology and then outlined them in a series of refined and contemporary toile de jouy.

The other selected project was “Kuba/Hawai” by Micheal Irabor who, starting from the indigenous African culture, was able to find parallels with the Hawaiian one by depicting each element with a series of brightly colored all-overs.

Ratti and Accademia Costume Moda together to rethink the school as an environment in which students can, on the one hand, develop the skills necessary to face future work challenges and on the other to satisfy that need to recognize and affirm the value and talent of individuals.

Below are the images of the 2 selected projects and the presentation of the works.

Ratti partner of Styleit

For Ratti, innovation takes place both in projects developed within the company and in a collaborative way with companies, universities and research centres. Essential in this area is the constant monitoring, relationship and exchange with the fresh and young universe of start-ups, an inexhaustible mine of creativity, originality and new perspectives.

For this reason, Ratti has chosen to become a partner of Styleit, a startup accelerator that develops new technological solutions for the fashion market, launched by Cdp Venture Capital Sgr.

New recognition for Ratti

Also in 2022, Ratti received the recognition of “Workplace that promotes the health and well-being of workers” by the WHP program which works in collaboration with the Insubria Health Protection Agency (ATS) of the Lombardy Region and Confindustria Como.

The path chosen by Ratti has as its main objective that of introducing healthy practices in order to improve the health of its workers, trying to identify, each time, new issues to approach in order to outline strategies and objectives that are to the full advantage of employee well-being, demonstrating how each choice underlines the importance and centrality of the people who work in the company.

Ratti @Proposte with two new collections: Home Decor and Home Textile

On the occasion of the 30th edition of Proposte, Ratti presented two new collections dedicated to the world of furnishings: Home Decor and Home Textile.
Home Decor is a new collection of finished products for the home. Cushions, plaids, linen mats, colorful sea sponges, American sets and tablecloths inspired by the Bianchini-Ferrier archive with exclusive double-sided prints.
While Home Textile is the collection of furnishing fabrics that has “inhabited” Ratti for thirty years, always evolving, to deepen technical and aesthetic research with determination.

Technical innovation, this year, has brought two extraordinary products.

“AD HOC PRINTING ON YARN DYED”
It is a jacquard design which differs in the weaves of the motifs, some of which will be “overprinted”. This technique allows not only to enhance the jacquard design but also allows for greater richness in the use of colour. It is a process that allows you to give “depth” and richness to the fabric.

“PIGMENTS CERAMIQUES”
Ratti has always been known and represents a unicum for the hand printing of pigments on velvet and linen mainly. On the occasion of the development of this collection, a process began which, by working the metallic pigments that embellish both the damasks and the essential geometries, creates relief and light. Alongside this, the work continued with colored pigments, sometimes mixing them with metallic ones, ending up with a project with transparent pigments that work above all on relief. Today, on the occasion of the fair, Ratti presents the “PIGMENTS CÉRAMIQUES” which have a different appearance and luminosity from other pigments, while maintaining all the technical performances unaltered.

Home by Ratti is a broad and transversal proposal. It is an offer that allows you to fully experience the here and now, with an idea conceived in its entirety in which materials, patterns and manufacturing techniques can live individually or in harmony for the mise en place of the table, the complete set of a bed or even a living space, characterized by a strong emotional as well as tactile charge.Pu

ITMF rewards Ratti for the development of the Rehubs project.

At the Annual Conference of the ITMF (International Textile Manufacturers Federation), held in September in Davos in Switzerland, the “ReHubs Initiative for fiber to fiber Recycling in Europe” project was among the winners of the ITMF Cooperation Award 2022. The certificate of the prestigious recognition was issued to the companies that contributed to the project, including Ratti Spa.

 

The Rehubs Initiative has developed a study and launched a collaborative project for the development of textile recycling technologies, in response to the challenges and goals of the European Commission’s Strategy for a Sustainable and Circular Textile, and constitutes a valuable tool for guiding the development of national EPR schemes

Ratti assumed the status of a Benefit Company

Ratti’s sustainable strategy has always been based on the constant enhancement of the craftsmanship of its professionals, as well as on investments in technology and research with the primary aim of being able to operate in a responsible, sustainable way.

In compliance with this policy, on May 17th 2022, through a resolution of the extraordinary board meeting, Ratti assumed the status of a Benefit Company. Being a Benefit Company means not only meeting the legal obligations relating to the environmental impact and the protection of the workers, but also adopting those responsible behaviors, which have a positive impact on society, territories and, last but not least, on the environment, always placing attention to the value transmission to future generations, with the awareness that this choice will represent an important moment of growth and responsibility for us and for all those who believe in Ratti.

Our commitment is aimed at:

  • Contribute to the protection of the environment, spreading a culture of attention to it, as well as promoting the development of an environmental management system for the organization.
  • Promote training and growth of the skills and potential of the individual, together with the development of a corporate social responsibility system adopted by the company.
  • Promote social and cultural initiatives, also through collaboration with businesses, communities, institutions and associations on topics of mutual interest in the field of innovation and research.

Commitment, ethics and sustainability are part of our history.  Becoming a Benefit Company strengthens Ratti’s commitment to responsible growth, demonstrating that, for us, sustainability is a vision that guides decisions and behaviors, a concrete commitment that strengthens confidence in the future towards the creation of a sustainable and responsible system.

 

 

Ratti collaborates with the association Go5

Go5, a non-profit association founded by a group of former patients of the Cancer Institute of Milan, has as its main objective to finance projects and initiatives to accompany and follow the patients of the institute, helping them to solve the problems that could arise with the disease and trying to make their path lighter.

Among the projects espoused by Go5 this year, there is “Il Filo d’Arianna”: an initiative conceived in collaboration with a team of psychologists and oncologists from the National Cancer Institute and dedicated to women affected by metastatic cancer at breast, to help them find the balance necessary to continue to lead a normal life.

Ratti actively participated in the project by making available its own fabrics that were used by the inmates of the high security department of Vigevano in collaboration with Caritas to make bags, turbans and other accessories designed by Helen Field. The proceeds were donated to the association.
