Founded in 2002 in Buccinasco, near Milan, SLIDE is an Italian design company specialising in polyethylene furniture and lighting for indoor and outdoor spaces. Combining aesthetics, emotion and functionality, the brand has built a distinctive identity based on bold forms, vibrant colours and durable materials. Today, SLIDE exports worldwide and operates across residential, hospitality and contract sectors, while strengthening its commitment to circular production.
What are the main areas of activity of the company?
SLIDE’s core activity lies in the industrial production of furniture and lighting through rotational moulding technology. The company develops seating, tables, decorative objects and lighting solutions for indoor and outdoor environments, with a strong presence in hospitality and contract markets. In recent years, sustainability has become a central area of activity, with research into recycled plastics, bio-based materials and circular production models.
What’s the news about new products/services?
The most significant development is the launch of REBORN, the collection designed by EcoBirdy and made entirely from recycled plastic. REBORN represents a decisive step in SLIDE’s journey towards circularity, combining regenerated materials with the company’s expertise in rotational moulding. More than a new product line, REBORN embodies a new language of sustainable design, where recycled plastic becomes the starting point for contemporary, versatile and durable furniture.
What are the ranges of products/services?
SLIDE offers over 300 catalogue products, including seating, sofas, benches, tables, lighting elements, bar counters and decorative objects. Products are available in multiple finishes and colours, including recycled-material variants. Alongside its iconic pieces, the company now presents a sustainable range that integrates fully into its broader catalogue, reinforcing a design system that balances creativity, functionality and environmental responsibility.
What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
The market is dynamic but increasingly attentive to sustainability and durability. Hospitality and contract sectors continue to demand versatile, long-lasting and visually distinctive products. At the same time, clients expect greater transparency regarding materials and production processes. In this context, collections such as REBORN respond directly to a growing demand for circular and responsible design solutions.
What can you tell us about market trends?
Current trends clearly point towards circular economy models, recycled materials and responsible industrial processes. However, sustainability alone is not enough: products must also be aesthetically strong and emotionally engaging. The evolution of outdoor living and hybrid indoor-outdoor spaces continues to grow.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
Among SLIDE’s most innovative developments is REBORN, which integrates recycled plastic into serial industrial production through rotational moulding. The ability to transform regenerated material into durable, high-quality design objects demonstrates how sustainability can be embedded into the production process itself. The collaboration with EcoBirdy further reinforces this innovative approach, combining material research, circular thinking and strong design identity.
What estimations do you have for the beginning of 2026?
For early 2026, SLIDE expects steady growth driven by the consolidation of sustainable product lines such as REBORN and the expansion of its international presence. The company aims to strengthen its positioning in hospitality and contract sectors, while continuing to invest in circular materials, controlled supply chains and a design vision increasingly oriented towards second-life production models.
