WHO WE ARE

Since 2002, the year of its foundation, Slide presents itself as a leading company in the field of outdoor and indoor furniture, lighting and design for contract, events and residential spaces. The success is all explained in the figure of its founder, Giò Colonna Romano, who has combined his fervid imagination with a thirty-year know-how in the processing of plastic resins: a true demiurge that, starting from a humble material such as polyethylene, has shaped objects out of the ordinary, elevating them to refined and colorful design products.

With ideas in continuous evolution, the present and the future of SLIDE is the continuous search for novelties: from the materials, with the introduction of the soft and rigid polyurethane, to the shape, whose lines come from the collaboration of internationally renowned designers of the caliber of Alessandro Mendini, Paola Navone, Stefano Giovannoni, Marcel Wanders, Karim Rashid and Marc Sadler. The first big success in the world was the production of luminous furniture, able to be protagonists of indelible events and contract that do not want to go unnoticed, but Slide did not stop and developed different products and sectors: from the acquisition and expansion of Design Of Love, to the development of rental services for corporate and private events, to the continuous search for beauty, with the Slide Art branch.

Between craftsmanship and innovation, Slide finds its first home in Buccinasco, where even today the offices are located and the production plants, but its roots reach the heart of Milan, thanks to the new showroom of Foro Buonaparte. The name Slide is today known all over the world and the products have arrived in more than 130 different countries.
