Giuseppe Rossi worked in Arsago in the family business with his brother Felice, manufacturing and selling mattresses, upholstery and saddlery.

Separated from his brother, Giuseppe Rossi founded the company of the same name in Cavaria with his wife, Maria Saporiti.

Giuseppe solved the coexistence of two different functions in the mechanism: he created the armchair-bed Confortevole, the first in a long series of patents.

Production and family moved to Albizzate, where the company name was changed in 1980.

A collaboration began with architect G. Vitelli followed by T. Ammannati, which lasted until the 1970s. A step that would mark a creative turning point and bring Rossi di Albizzate to the Museum of Italian Design, Triennale Milano.

Rossi di Albizzate was among the founders of what was to become the most important design fair in the world: the Salone del Mobile in Milan. It would preside over its vice-presidency for years.

Experiments with cold-foamed polyurethane began. In the second half of the 1960s, the RoFoam mixture was patented, which not only enabled formal freedom, but also guaranteed greater comfort and durability.

Vitelli and Ammannati design Grandangolo, the world's first modular sofa in cold-foamed PU, with a continuous seating system. Soon the design baton will pass to C. Bartoli, future Compasso d'Oro alla Carriera.

Bartoli opened showrooms in Milan and Rome, in two exclusive locations. In 1976, a partnership was formed with the fashion house Borbonese for the exclusive use of partridge-eye leather.

Architect Bartoli was joined by architect Salocchi. In the early 1990s, a generational changeover took place with sons Luigi and Piero. New collaborations with various designers began. A second product entered the Italian Design Museum.

After Giuseppe's death and the monograph published by Electa on the company's history in 2005, the Company Museum was inaugurated in 2010, narrating the value of Rossi di Albizzate for Italian design.

The brand was taken over and licensed to the Milan-based Luxur-IT, with the intention of modernising its corporate structure, offer and markets in a new sustainable way, while preserving its cultural heritage.
