History
Poliform was founded in 1970 by Alberto Spinelli, Aldo Spinelli, and Giovanni Anzani, who transformed a family artisan business established in 1942 into a modern industrial company. The brand expanded its product range in 1996 by acquiring the Varenna brand, entering the kitchens market. Soft furniture was added to the portfolio in 2006. In 2018, the kitchens division was rebranded from Varenna to Poliform to create a more coherent company identity. The company remains family-owned and is now in its third generation of leadership.
