Romo was founded by Robert Romo in 1902 starting a small industrial furniture company in Nottingham in England, which he called with his own name. In 1930, the company gained an important position in the upholstery sector thanks to the supply of fabrics and accessories for the manufacture of furniture, continuing to evolve until the sector of the company that dealt with the production of furniture ceased and the supply of fabrics became the primary aspect of the company. In 1980, Romo started his design studio, thus defining his own style and becoming a leading company in the sector.
Romo remains a family business and is still managed today by the grandson of the founder himself, Jonathan Mold together with his granddaughter Lindsay and their children: Felicity, Emily and Jordan; the company employs more than 350 people: customer satisfaction and staff well-being are the group’s core values; even if the company is now very large, Romo remains a family business with the same values ??as at the beginning. Headquartered in Nottinghamshire, England and with offices and showrooms in London, Europe and the United States, the Romo Group now boasts six well-known divisions and brands in the sector; each brand offers its own character and style and has its own design studio in which it creates a wide range of fabrics, wallpapers, trimmings and accessories to satisfy everyone’s tastes and needs.
The Group’s main brand, simply called Romo, is recognized for its wide range of classic and contemporary designs and versatile plain fabrics; Romo offers a different style and a classic refinement, all enriched by an elegant palette of colors. The experience of generations and the typical British style are the foundations of the company. Since the foundation of its first design studio in the 1980s, Romo has in fact continued to evolve and is today a leader in the sector of fabrics and wallpapers.
Driven by Emily Mold, the Design Director, the Romo studio is a center of creativity and activity – a ‘cave of wonders’ with sketches, paintings, fabrics and color variations; the walls of the study are always a source of inspiration. For each launch, the designers focus on finding new ideas and new concepts. The inspiration comes from a wide range of different subjects: from travel to fashion, to nature. The recognized excellent reputation for extraordinary designs and wonderful products derives from the exceptional team of designers. Some Romo fabrics, now historic, have become real icons in the interior field, such as the beloved Linara fabric, with incredible softness and at the same time strong resistance, declined in a multitude of colors, each year increased to according to trends.
