A unique piece Born in Recanati, Marche in 1863, Enrico Guzzini, was a man with an open mind who drew upon his life experiences and re-launched an ancient craft, producing elegant ox horn items. This business thrived and developed and subsequently, circa 1938, another generation of Guzzini started a small revolution by manufacturing household items using Plexiglas. From that time, the company's history has been characterized by a series of decisively innovatory milestones. With the introduction of moulded acrylics at the beginning of the 1960s, Raimondo Guzzini s contemporary intuition sought to give the company a more open approach to business by importing into the Marche region the creative concepts of some of the best minds in design, starting with Luigi Massoni. This was followed by the development of the bicolor project in the 1980s, then the leap to gas-assisted injection in the 1990s, to current research on new plastic materials and their infinite potential, usefully combining them with futuristic acrylics or more classical traditional materials, such as porcelain, glass, steel and wood. After almost a century, the main impetus behind this development continues to come from a team that share the same passion for innovation, as well as the same surname: Guzzini.
