Since 1936 Maletti has been a by-word for design, innovation, technology and, above all, passion. A passion which has led Maletti to hold the unchallenged global leadership in
furniture for hairdressing salons, a jewel in the crown of Italian production around the world. The wish to continuously improve the working tools of hair stylists, in terms of both appearance and functionality, has driven Maletti in its historical choice of working with designers of international fame over the years, including Philippe Starck, Borek Sipek, Claudio Silvestrin, Ross Lovegrove, Christophe Pillet, Didier Gomez, Maurizio Macciocchi, Matta & Varaschin and others besides. A choice which has revolutionised style and set all the trends which have made their mark in salon furnishing over the past 30 years.
A passion for Technology
Research and technological innovation applied to salon furnishing by Maletti has deeply changed working tools in hair salons, making them more comfortable for the operators, but also for the clients, often turning the simple services provided by the salon into veritable experiences for the clientele. This is the case of the application of concave neck rests on the washbasins, manual and then electric leg lifting devices, roller and air massage units and, recently, the chromo-therapy hood, combined with the SHW “specific hair water” System which produces specific water for hair cleansing. Great innovation also for the work stations, including screens integrated into the mirrors and the introduction of the technical table as a new furnishing element. All innovations which were introduced for the first time by Maletti, and which over the years have become standards for the sector. The number one company in the world for the sale of hairdressing chairs and wash stands, the widest product portfolio in the sector including creations by some of the greatest designers in the world, a branch in rue Royale, Paris and a production company in San Paolo, a capillary distribution network covering the entire planet, 33,000 m2 of cutting edge production sites and the largest show-room in the world dedicated to beauty design. This is Maletti today, 75 years on.
