Rossi 1931 began in Borgo San Lorenzo, near Florence, as Antonio Rossi’s artisan paper business. Today its range moves between correspondence, notebooks and decorative papers. That breadth is part of the appeal, but we would rather choose a small selection than try to represent the whole catalogue.
Antonio Rossi founded the business in 1931, developing an artisan production of fine cards and correspondence paper. Later generations expanded Rossi’s reach while the company retained its family structure, bringing traditional paper and print methods together with specialist modern machinery. The company remains based in Borgo San Lorenzo, with paper, print and stationery still at the centre of its work.
Rossi gives us a way to bring correspondence, notebooks and decorative paper together within one maker. Its catalogue is broad enough to become a shop in its own right, so we keep our selection deliberately tight: patterns, formats and paper goods that feel most at home at Midnight Folio.
How it is made
Rossi’s production story brings old and new together. At its Borgo San Lorenzo workshop, the company documents processes including hot-relief printing, decorative-paper techniques and gold finishing using bronze powder alongside more modern machinery. Those processes vary across the range, so we keep the provenance of individual products specific rather than applying one story to everything Rossi makes.
