Galleria Rossana Orlandi was opened in 2002 in a former tie factory. She began her activity by focusing on the growing wave of Dutch design working with designers such as Piet Hein Eek, Maarten Baas and Nacho Carbonell. Subsequently, the research has moved widely around the world favouring the creation of a catalogue that reflects the most innovative scenes from Europe, Asia and America.
The space is articulated in a non-traditional way combining a showroom, a retail shop, offices and a courtyard for events and meetings, with no boundaries between the different activities.
Rossana Orlandi, after working for more than 20 years in the fashion industry as a consultant for Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan and for her family business, decided in 2002 to transform her passion for design from a private collection to an innovative gallery, a platform where she could present her personal idea of design and lifestyle.
She has worked as curator for numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad and has collaborated with top fashion and luxury brands.
