The “Rino Snaidero Scientific Foundation” was set up to honor the pioneering and innovating spirit of Rino Snaidero, who left us in January 2004. The Foundation was created to become a true “ideas factory”. In particular, the CREA LAB is responsible for international research involving young creative minds and experts from the business world. Its CREAtive Team is made up of young researchers from many different disciplines drawn from the Foundation’s international network. It is free to carry out any kind of research deemed useful for finding innovative solutions for improving quality of life in the home. The REAL Team is instead made up of experts, managers and entrepreneurs who are able to select the most interesting ideas worth exploring from a technical, scientific, economic and financial point of view.

Following the acquisition of other industrial businesses during the ‘90s, the “Snaidero Group” was born. The Group looked at the international markets from the position of an industry leader. The aim was to create environments which are universally accessible to all types of people, whether or not they have disabilities.

1996
The Company celebrated its 50th anniversary. In the same year, this splendid anniversary was joined by another, the 75th birthday of Cavalier Rino Snaidero. He chose this moment to announce his retirement, leaving the Company chairmanship to one of his sons, Edi, who was already chief executive officer.
1990
Paolo Pininfarina’s industrial design agency, who specialised in automobile design, started working with Snaidero. The goal of the collaboration was to overcome the increasingly standardised look of modular kitchens. This led to “Ola”, a design characterised by a strong architectural component and three-dimensional layout. It was later followed by “Viva,” where materials such as glass and steel were used in an innovative and highly contemporary way.
1970s – ’80s
1980's
The architect Giovanni Offredi, one of the best designers of his time, became the main designer at Snaidero. Over the years he produced many refined and beautiful designs that became both public and critical successes. The splendid new “Krios”, “Kalia”, “Pragma”, “Elementi” and “Contralto” kitchens were thus created, all to varying degrees highly innovative and technological.
1979
Snaidero USA is established to service the American market.
1977
Rino Snaidero asked Angelo Mangiarotti to continue with the works at the devastated building site. The new complex was completed in 1977 and featured avant-garde building solutions designed to withstand earthquakes.
May 1976
While the headquarters were still under development, all of Friuli and Majano was struck by a terrible earthquake. The earthquake killed many and devastated homes and businesses. Rino’s factories were also destroyed. Rino did not lose hope however, and he motivated everyone to find courage and rebuild.
1975
During the 1970's Mangiarotti was working on a series of mushroom-shaped blown glass vases: a design solution that was adopted on a construction level for the design of the new and imposing headquarters for Snaidero. The result was a magnificent building with extremely refined materials and support structures, characterised by slightly protruding elliptical windows that became round in the curvature of the corners.
1975
Rino Snaidero entrusted renowned architect Angelo Mangiarotti with the design of the new corporate headquarters in Majano, Italy.
1973
Rino Snaidero extended his factory in Majano. Once completed in 1978, the expanded factory reached the size of one hundred thousand square metres. A “population” of one thousand three hundred people worked there. In addition the expanding Company opened three new sales subsidiaries: in Paris, London and Zurich.
1973
Rino Snaidero asked the architect Angelo Mangiarotti to design a kitchen, which would later become known as the “Cruscotto”, and was the result of profound research in materials and ergonomics. It immediately became the centre of attention, with a prototype of the new kitchen accepted and exhibited straight away at the MoMa in New York.
1960s
1969
After a period of exciting growth, Rino Snaidero had the satisfaction of seeing his Company listed on the Stock Exchange. What was once a small craft workshop with big dreams for the future, became “Snaidero Rino S.p.a.”.
1968
Architect and designer Virgilio Forchiassin designed the “Spazio Vivo” kitchen for Snaidero. The hob and sink were designed according to a revolutionary new concept: they were grouped into an island – for the first time ever! The remaining functions are assigned to the wall space using innovative moving blocks which, hinged to the base units, open and close according to the function they are designed to perform. On its debut, the Snaidero “Spazio Vivo” kitchen immediately entered the permanent collection of the prestigious “MoMa” (Museum of Modern Art) in New York.
1961
This year saw the launch of “Gloria”, the first modular kitchen in polyester lacquered wood made by Snaidero. The domestic appliances were built into the kitchen - a conceptual revolution! Soon after, a 15 second television advert first brought the national public’s attention to both the innovative kitchen “Gloria”, and the dynamic brand “Snaidero”.
1940s – ’50s
January 1960
The Company’s new industrial premises were opened in Majano (Udine).
1959
A crucial year in the Company’s history, Rino set up “Rino Snaidero & C.”, transforming what was essentially still a workshop into an industrial company. He also decided to exclusively manufacture kitchen furniture, optimising and serialising the production lines.
