RATTI SETAMARINA
Mission, vision and value
In a world that is built on the search
for beauty, Ratti operates by taking great care of and enhancing its work.
Ratti’s passion for the art of printing has continued, since the last century, by respecting a historical continuity that is characterised by a style and elegance that is immune from influences and fashions, instead basing every gesture on a ritualised discipline and dedication, while fully respecting every particular and detail.
Creativity and innovation then become the cornerstones that guide the company in establishing its brand throughout the world.
Research, applied study and continual experimentation, both in traditional table printing and in modern digital printing, seek to support and promote the quality brand that then becomes tangible on each and every fabric, and that bears witness to the strong bond between Ratti and the great masters of fashion who represent the Group’s principal external stakeholders.
What Ratti does is to instil a continuous dialogue with its customers in a collective work that makes visible the intersection of different DNAs and knowledge so that every product becomes a cultural and artistic unity. This is the modus operandi the Ratti Group uses to offer an exclusive personalisation of the product. Finding inspiration in the classic to recreate a new language with evermore original tones to offer a new interpretation of fabrics in which all aspects complement and permeate each other in a way that is totally natural. This is the Ratti Group’s goal: the conjugation of an intuition that springs from the original: “Experiencing silk is an art, today as it was yesterday”.
Beauty as a vocation has become, for the Ratti Group, a daily commitment that involves everyone who works in the business. It seeks to balance innovation and practicality, while always respecting the craftsmanship of its professionals,
the protection of the environment, and the values and principles on which it was founded.
