Two brands, the same ergonomic and creative vision.
Rexsitt and Gollinucci Daniele intertwine in a cobranding that interprets Design for professional chairs, in all its aspects: the fusion of technical quality, Italian craftsmanship and search for detail.
About us
An Italian weave that combines artisanal quality and technical inspiration with everyday office life. The story of Rexsitt and Gollinucci begins in the 1960s, in the Cesenate countryside of Romagna, where the Gollinucci family handweaves straw chairs. Thanks to the intuition of Emilio and Alberto Gollinucci, the workshop quickly became a space to manufacture tapestry for chairs, until they make wooden chairs, putting them together and covering them with a large variety of fabrics. During the first half of the 1970s comes the idea of creating a seat specifically designed for the office, one that is both ergonomic and functional.
The commitment to design and a passion for innovative research are transmitted to the next generation and to Daniele Gollinucci. Grew up closely with the company’s artisanal origins, Daniele energetically pursues the development of new designs dedicated to ergonomic seating, together with his sons and valuable collaborators, drawing inspiration from its territory.
Be comfortable in Sustainability
A greener vision of the future, the only
one that is really possible and imaginable. Sustainability for us is a matter of breaking down barriers and a commitment to the planet, present and future, which flows into our daily activities, creating innovative, efficient and circular processes.
Recyclable and certified materials, a
strong focus on post-consumer disposal, an optimised management of internal resources, emissions and industrial waste: every single aspect embraces the intention of leaving to next generations a world in which they can feel comfortable, one to live the best.
Selected Materials
Among the production technology and the skill of the craftsmen at the Bertinoro factory (Forlì-Cesena, Italy), selected materials appear to be the true protagonists of Gollinucci and Rexsitt’s design chairs.
The textile department is continuously engaged in research and development, with a know-how that recalls the tapestry tradition and emphasizes the future of raw materials.
The wide range is suitable for any taste
and interpretation, always maintaining a sustainable heart, with highly recyclable components and FSC-certified materials, providing environmentally friendly elegance and comfort.
