Since the first furniture was made in 1960 with architect Leonardo Ferrari, Rossi’s production reflects the relationship between the architectural, urban, archaeological and objective scale. Since 1979 it has opened up to the world of industrial production and high craftsmanship, making furniture and products for use first with Alessi, then with Artemide, DesignTex, Bruno Longoni Atelier of Furniture, Molteni & C | UniFor, Richard-Ginori, and Rosenthal, Up & Up (UpGroup today).

During nearly twenty years of work, he developed more than 70 pieces of furniture and furnishings, many of which are still in production today, experimenting with shapes and colors in the fields of metals, wood, marble, stone, ceramics, porcelain and handcrafted fabrics. Industrial and plastic materials.
