Production
A magic spell, repeated for thousands of years and born of the interweaving of warp and weft.
The sound of a loom in operation takes over, the requisite soundtrack to a creative process which, stroke after stroke, takes shape before our very eyes.
A process that has been repeated for more than 133 years.
Produzione & progettazione
Nella tessitura Rubelli di Cucciago (Como) si producono damaschi, lampassi, broccatelli, velluti e tessuti tecnici che vengono pensati e progettati nell’ufficio stilismo. Il disegno si trasforma in tessuto.
Production
The Rubelli mill in Cucciago (Como) produces damask, lampas, brocatelle and technical fabrics devised and designed in the style department. The mill is the place where the design, traced by hand or processed on a computer, is transformed into fabric.
Ricerca e Innovazione
Nella tessitura Rubelli operano 50 addetti. Qui viene realizzata la quasi totalità della produzione grazie a 31 telai di ultima generazione. La tessitura è anche un luogo di sperimentazione in cui si provano nuovi filati e nuovi abbinamenti e dove si mettono a punto nuove tipologie di tessuto: va quindi intesa non solo come luogo di produzione ma anche come laboratorio in cui fare ricerca e innovazione.
Research and Innovation
More than 50 employees work in the Rubelli mill. Almost all production is carried out here, on 31 high-tech looms.
The mill is also a place of experimentation where new yarns and new combinations are tried out and where new types of fabric are developed. It is therefore to be seen not only as a production site but above all as a laboratory for research and innovation.
Hand Looms and Soprarizzi
Four original 18th century looms are still in operation at Rubelli. Even today, the expert hands of a young weaver, who in recent years has learnt this textile art with passion from workers who had dedicated a lifetime to this craft, are able to weave the highly prized soprarizzi, precious hand-loomed silk velvet.
