Rudi
Rudi is the eponymous studio launched by Rudi Rabitti in 1996 and currently under the stewardship of Simone Fanciullacci. To this day, it has championed sustainable, zero-waste design and innovation, uniting these upstanding principles with generations of Italian savoir-faire. Its creations can be playful, stately, or graphic but always minimalist, and one mainstay is the brand’s own invention—Tecnocuoio, a durable, elegant, water-resistant leather made primarily of repurposed vegetable-tanned cast-offs.
