ALESSANDRO BINI IS CELEBRATING THE BRAND’S TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK.
Milan, 18 March 2025
Alessandro Bini, a Florentine excellence specialising in high-quality fabrics for furnishings, will be celebrating the brand’s 20th anniversary with a special presentation of the 2025 Collection at Milan Design Week 2025.
Alessandro Bini’s new textile creations will be the stars of an exhibition, curated by the prestigious architecture and design firm Palomba Serafini Studio, set in the evocative location of the Protestant Christian Church, surrounded by a green oasis of tranquillity right in the heart of the Design District in Brera.
As Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba explain, “Telling the story of a textile company is particularly exciting because it allows us to discover the complexity of the processes and the variety of typologies present within a reality of the highest quality and Italian artisanship, such as Bini. We wanted to divide the setup into a narrative made of small stories that, through micro-architectures placed in the nave of a church, develop along an immersive pathway. Through a set of mini-installations, visitors can explore the excellent materials created by the company—linens, velvets, jacquards—told through stories that enhance their hues, textures, and softness.
These micro-architectures are incorporated into a sort of architectural velarium that evokes the idea of side chapels, made with a material that filters light and, like a contemporary installation, guides visitors along a pathway where the details become clearer and sharper. Outside, we have installed a number of areas that demonstrate how these same fabrics can endure even in outdoor settings, highlighting how outdoor textiles today represent an essential part of contemporary furnishings. Textiles are no longer just decorative surfaces; they are increasingly becoming an inspiring element of the very form of the object.”
The Protestant Christian Church was not an arbitrary choice for celebrating 20 years of activity alongside designers, architects, and clients from around the world: built in the 19th century on land belonging to a dynasty of silk and cotton merchants, the church creates a temporal thread in terms of passion—today that of Alessandro Bini and his sons Simone and Niccolò—for refined and high-quality fabrics, excellent raw materials, nature, and commitment to the environment. That same passion, which has allowed the company to grow and evolve since its inception in the 2000s, now offers a diverse market offering, ranging from fabrics from around the world to contract services, as well as the creation of finished products, accessories, and furnishing solutions for the home.
The 2025 Collection by Alessandro Bini will enrich the Fuori Salone with its elegant and refined creations, strictly made in Italy, resulting from a harmonious fusion of art, artisanship, and innovation.
Each fabric is born from meticulous research within the company, with particular attention to detail, from the quality of the yarns to weaving techniques and finishes, as well as fashion trends. The collection includes natural fabrics and flame-retardant textiles aimed at the hospitality sector.
Among the new 2025 products, the elegant Cartagine curtains stand out as a unique eco-sustainable product on the market, made from paper fabric derived from aboca and linen fibres, which intertwine to create a very strong and high-quality weave. These particular materials can be easily disposed of without polluting the environment. The curtains, offered in three nuances obtained from eco-compatible dyes, are perfect for contemporary and charming spaces.
Iside & Osiride is a masterpiece of weaving created from an artist’s design, dedicated to luxurious and contemporary decorations. Iside & Osiride, this article of great value, is distinguished by the refined elegance of its yarns and design, by the allure of silk, and the elaborate lampas Jacquard textures mixed in sophisticated patterns. Paired with contemporary shades, the ensemble enhances the figurative subject that evokes the splendour of the past while looking towards the future. An innovative iconic product, it is the utmost expression of the exceptional artisanship and know-how of Alessandro Bini.
The luxurious Antibes and Cap Ferrat Collections, designed for charming indoor and outdoor spaces, are two excellent innovations dedicated to the creation of upholstery for seaside and urban environments. The Antibes fabrics feature an innovative embossed weave that is pleasant to the touch: Gin is a pattern with two colour variations on a white background matching two different variations of Tonic, a two-tone faux plain fabric. The Cap Ferrat Collection offers three coordinated fabrics, geometric Emerald, solid Plain, and striped Stripe. The bouclé effect, created with mélange yarns, characterises the texture of the fabrics. In both the indoor and outdoor collections, the colour palette is inspired by nature, designed for upholstered furnishings with contemporary elegance. An invitation to indoor and outdoor living in style.
Both collections are “fluoro-free”, a treatment requested particularly by the US market.
The Alessandro Bini 2025 Collection comprises many other textile innovations, including 100 Colori, a satin that combines the naturalness of cotton with the timeless elegance of silk, available in an impressive 100 colour variations.
Today, Alessandro Bini is present in Italy and in forty-four other countries across Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, where major architecture and interior design firms, along with showrooms, choose its precious fabrics to elegantly “dress” the most prestigious public and private furnishings.
