Today's customers often look for the perfect blend of aesthetics and good performance, especially as far as everyday use objects are concerned. RP has made design a core value of its business and has interpreted it according to its most authentic meaning: creative study and planning to satisfy the most diversified requirements in terms of product aesthetics, end-use, simple manufacturing, environmental impact. To meet these goals, today RP has an in-house design department, where designers and technical experts work in synergy to give shape to new ideas, as well as important external partnerships.

Among them:

• Lucci Orlandini Design www.lucciorlandini.com, which designed a variety of innovative solutions for RP;

• Enrico Tommasini, RP group's designer, who takes care of new products design by working in synergy with the Company's technical/production and sales departments;

• Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche (ISIA) in Faenza (Italy), www.isiafaenza.it, the higher institute for artistic industries from where the latest and most original solutions have arisen;

• Paolo Nava and Fabio Casiraghi www.paolonavadesign.it, who designed the Première collection www.rp-premiere.com, RP's newest project for premium kitchens.
