In 2024, Ratti launched an innovative pilot project focused on occupational health and safety training called Training Breaks. This programme introduces a new training approach aimed at raising awareness and educating employees about work-related risks, with a particular emphasis on the dangers associated with the use of chemicals in textile printing production. Through active collaboration with the internal trade union and workers’ safety representatives, a shared project was developed to enhance risk perception among all safety stakeholders, including workers, supervisors, and managers. The initiative stands out for its practical and engaging approach, with training sessions held directly at workstations. These sessions integrate theoretical and practical elements, ensuring that they are easily understandable and accessible to all participants. This methodology enables the programme to address department-specific challenges, tackling concrete issues that

This year, Ratti will once again be among the sponsors of the 14th edition of TedxLakeComo, taking place on Saturday, November 9, and Sunday, November 10, at the enchanting International Congress Center of Villa Erba in Cernobbio. This year, TedxLakeComo will explore the theme “At the Edge of Chaos”, a fascinating and thought-provoking concept. The edge of chaos is a place of infinite possibilities, where disruption turns into innovation, and complexity opens new horizons. We live in an era where everything evolves unpredictably, pushing us to think beyond the conventional and to embrace complexity with an open mind, flexibility, courage, and creativity. Staying outside this dynamic space means risking losing touch with a changing world, being excluded from the processes shaping the future, new relationships, and emerging forms. It is

In 2024, Ratti renews its collaboration with the Accademia Costume & Moda in Rome for the ‘Master Fabrics Innovation Design’. This prestigious industry project involved 14 international students, who were asked to work on a brief from Ratti’s style office, with a central theme of exploring animal motifs. The students had to create a collection of innovative prints, combining classic animal motifs with contemporary designs, looking for a new interpretation that maintained elegance and sophistication. The research process encompasses historical and anthropological analysis, conceptual investigation and experimentation with techniques on different textile bases, with a strong emphasis on the principles of sustainability, especially considering the theme of nature-inspired design. Guided by Daphne Karras, the students visited Ratti’s headquarters in Guanzate, explored the production departments and understood the complex stages of

The new Herno Relife project, is a collaboration between Ratti and Herno and is based on the shared values of craftsmanship, uniqueness, circularity and heritage. Together we breathed new life into 18 iconic patterns from Herno’s past collections, revisiting them through one of our most valuable and distinctive techniques: textile printing with planche. Each planche helped create “placed” prints that ensure the exact repetition of the design on each garment, while maintaining the individuality of each piece due to the manual nature of the process. Ten designs were selected from our archive of more than 5,000 planches. 250 exclusive pieces were relabeled from the men’s and women’s lines, which will be available in Herno monobrand stores in Milan, Paris and Tokyo During the week of March 22-31, communication of the
