Respace, furniture padding
and high-quality contract products
Products that fit into the best Italian manufacturing tradition
RESPACE set up in 2004, manufactures furniture padding and contract products.
Their production facilities and showroom are located at Verano Brianza, on state freeway No. 36 Nuova Valassina, (the road that connects Milan to Switzerland).
The brand, which conceptually represents an open box, has become popular and well-established thanks to its regional communication campaigns targeted specifically to medium/high-end customers.
Because of the excellent market response, the company could develop new products, which are already supported by the Corporate business, and fully represent the Made in Italy philosophy, at the very heart of each design choice.
All products by RESPACE – whose sole administrator is Mr. Renato De Lorenzo – are designed and manufactured to last, in line with the best Italian manufacturing tradition. The company’s rigorous quality checks, its accurate distribution system and assembly processes are particularly appreciated by retailers and end -users alike and represent the most effective vehicle for strengthening the corporate image.

of iconic screen sirens and glamorous goddesses.
Romantic fantasies, youthful indulgence

Honored as British Bridal Designer of the year 2008 at the Bridal Buyer Awards, Jenny Packham remains the red carpet designer of choice continuing to dress some of the world’s most glamorous and discerning women from Beyoncé and Keira Knightley to Eva Longoria and Nelly Furtado.
Carla Ragaini, headdresses and accessories
that are highly appreciated by women
Small creations of great character to be worn for special occasions
immagine In 1982, Carla Ragaini decided to turn her passion into an entrepreneurial challenge: she built her first laboratory in an ancient windmill and, with the support of experienced tailors, she created her first collection of bride accessories named “Carla”.


Her unique creativeness, in perfect balance between eccentricity and tradition, was immediately rewarded with market consensus, and, over time, her totally personal interpretation of fashion trends consolidated her success.


The initial range of headdresses featured in Carla collection was complemented with sophisticated accessories and clothing items made of precious materials.


Small collections of great character that now are no longer designed for brides only but for any woman who wants to feel special in her most important occasions and special moments.
Ottavio Nuccio, four men’s formal wear collections
Classical, dynamic, hedonist, protagonist: a total look for each dimension
immagine Mario Moreno Moyano, fashion designer and art director for Ottavio Nuccio, has always represented the different ways of interpreting men’s formal wear in four collections of total-look.


Gentleman: for a classical man, though not necessarily a traditionalist, who strives to stand out only for details, with purely tailor-made style and elegance.

Fashion: for a dynamic young man who only wears a modern, sometimes minimalist style, in line with the latest fashion trends.

Baroque: for a hedonist, dandy and romantic bridegroom who wants to feel like a prince for one day, with his beloved bride by his side.

Emotion: the new glamorous line of elegant and formal wear for ceremonies or special evenings; the peculiarity of design and colour, added to the exclusive quality of fabrics, will turn this man into a protagonist.
Colet, Nicole and Alessandra Rinaudo
exalt the Italian tailoring culture
For a modern, romantic, sparkling bride.
A Made in Italy offering fulfilling any need
immagine Three brands for three lines that are especially praised and appreciated by women.

Nicole
A romantic, modern line embellished with silk flowers and jewel details.
It is manufactured in full line with the principles of the Italian tailoring culture and is completely Made in Italy.

Alessandra Rinaudo
“AR” has been created for a modern, demanding and sophisticated bride and it fully meets all these requirements.
Flowing dresses designed according to the rules of Italian haute couture, decorated with precious embroidery, pure silks, and Swarovski crystals to add a unique and superior light to the bride.

Colet
Colet is the younger, fresh, and sparkling line, though it is also romantic and modern at the same time. The latest fashion trends are reproduced in highly sophisticated dresses aimed at embellishing the typical Italian bride.
Alberto Carlos:
a special collection for an exclusive bridegroom
Designed for all men who want to live their wedding day with joy and passion
immagine From Brazil to Italy with a lively, never ordinary passion for men’s wear. Always on the forefront with any trendy detail, Alberto Carlos grew up in a family working in the textile industry. It did not take him much to grow what was a mere interest into a real business.
It all began with youthful, creative fashion collections that managed to impress, astonish, and express a full lifestyle, which was then complemented with formal wear, a sector that now offers the best opportunities for creativeness and for interpreting different personalities.
To quote the designer himself, “My bridegroom wants to be different, to draw attention just like the bride. This does not mean that the two are competing, but rather that they are sharing emotions. It is an evolution of our modern time, an additional piece of freedom, freedom for the man to express himself, to be there, together with his “princess”. So, the man wearing Alberto Carlos’s wedding collection is a king with a heart full of passion, an aristocrat, perhaps a bit narcissistic, but elegant, sophisticated, and unique.
Alberto Carlos’s mind has therefore produced “whimsical”, exclusive garments that stand out not only for their precious textiles and elegant shapes but also for the accessories, which are fundamental details that, somehow cunningly, make the same suits even more outstanding. The collection is further characterized by fabrics and cuts that strengthen and protect the man’s figure as if these suits were gala uniforms.
“It is a never-ending search for vagaries, for an interpretation of what each of us wants to express. Of course, all this is coupled with high tailoring quality.”
The tailoring quality of this collection is complemented with a made-to-measure service, aimed at fulfilling the desire to “be different” to the highest degree. However, Alberto Carlos keeps an eye also on everyday life and offers garments that may be worn for any occasion and everywhere in the world. From Israel to Japan, from Russia to China, from the U.S.A. to Europe: from the most exclusive boutiques Alberto Carlos speaks to all those who want to live their wedding day with joy and passion.
To move and be moved: this could be Alberto Carlos’s motto.
Alessandro Couture, traditions that reach
out towards the challenges of modernity
A daring offering for timeless women, sexy and romantic at the same time
immagine Deeply rooted in tradition but reaching out towards the challenges of modernity, Alessandro Angelozzi, a young fashion designer who launched the “Alessandro Couture” brand in 2000, works, plays, and has fun with bridal haute couture, reinventing it season after season. The strength of this line stems from the designer’s understanding of what women really like. The brand was launched seven years ago, with exclusive testimonials such as Megan Gale, Valeria Mazza, Moran Atlas, Aida Yespica, Manuela Arcuri, i.e. the top icons of explosive and charismatic femininity. This year, he reached the climax of his success with a collection that was completely designed for Cristina Chiabotto, who, because of her pervasive freshness, has been the icon of so many young brides.
In all his collections, this designer places a special emphasis on his precious bodices and full skirts: a daring offering for timeless women, sexy and romantic at the same time.
A mix of magnificent embroideries from the past with traces of modernity and a bold use of colours, first and foremost red, are the key ingredients of a winning cocktail.
Angelozzi, who has been coordinating cultural events linked to fashion for years, is now back in Milan with countless proposals for brides, drawing inspiration from the warm oriental perfumes from “The Arabian Nights”. On his catwalk we will admire beautiful women of uncommon sensuality, with wonderful bodices studded with pearls and Swarovski crystals gleaming with light, matched with skirts of chiffon and georgette drapes.
These dresses were cut so as to magnify the silhouette as if it were a sculpture, with breath-taking drapes opening in deep slits or falling freely down to the feet, all wrapped in the bright splendour of rhinestones and coloured beads, dresses that are lightly hanging on sculpture-like necks with slightly emphasized sleeves, skirts with soft flounces in pale colours and pure-silk organza wrap-around veils.
Charme and sex appeal, elegance and seductiveness brightly put together by an unlimited creativeness are the key features of the approximately 60 models included in the 2009 collection. With over 250 points of sale in Italy, Alessandro Couture’s style is spreading also abroad, from Japan to Saudi Arabia, from Greece to Spain, From Russia to the Americas.
The new perfume by “Alessandro parfume Couture” shall also be launched at Sì Sposaitalia.
