Archive
The archive is a synthesis of history, art and creativity. Starting from the first F1 square designed by the founder Antonio Ratti, the archive is home to an ever-evolving collection and endless source of inspiration for creative designers.
It contains samples of all Ratti production from 1945 to the present day, with archive acquisitions spanning from the 1930s, through the 1980s, up to the most recent styles and designs, with open shelf cataloguing by theme to facilitate research and consultation.
All thanks to the team dedicated to preserving this heritage, which takes care of the archive’s management and digitalisation on a daily basis.
