Brand ROU Materiaal

Based in Ravenna, ROU Materiaal is a furniture firm established in 2013 by Marzia De Lorenzi and Monica Cortesi, artists who share a strong passion for art, design, and the city of Paris. The firm’s name derives from Afrikaans meaning “raw material”, highlighting the brand’s distinctive style that connects "primitive" materials to a deep study of contemporary shapes and textures using resins, acrylics, stucco, and cement. Their sculpture-tables and hand-painted fabrics are manufactured in Italy from salvaged woods of century-old trees that find new life in a modern home.
