COMPANY HISTORY
Poliform was founded in 1970, having evolved from an artisan business dating back to 1942. Right from the start the company made no secret of its industrial ethos: its aim has been to exploit the full potential of automated production line methods, constantly monitoring change in an increasingly more global market.
Poliform becomes an industry: the minds behind the turnaround, Alberto Spinelli, Aldo Spinelli and Giovanni Anzani, who still head the company today, successfully blending specific technical expertise and know-how with an entrepreneurial approach in absolute harmony with the social and economic changes of the era.
Poliform is currently a leading player on the international furniture scene. The highly successful result of adventurous enterprise, the company has always based its vision on the search for quality by updating its lines in keeping with all that is good in contemporary lifestyle trends.
Over the years Poliform’s range of lines has never strayed from current trends as the company has successfully managed to satisfy the most varied of international needs and tastes, and anticipate and interpret trends in living. Poliform’s collection includes systems and furnishing accessories for the whole house: bookcases, containers, wardrobes and beds.
Poliform’s comprehensive production range carries with it the design idea of a ‘Poliform house’ with stylistically compatible component parts; a ‘global project’ for each architectural situation thanks to the exceptional versatility of its modular systems.
Beginning in 2018, the Varenna kitchen division goes by the name of Poliform, demonstrating the desire to more assertively present a unique and consistent corporate identity. The name change represents a fundamental step towards the creation of a genuine Poliform experience, and platform with a strong emotional impact.
