Discover the Artistry of Rinocca
What is
Rinocca?
Rinocca’s a furniture company.
At Rinocca, we’re passionate designers and manufacturers, driven by the desire to create exceptional furniture, primarily for the hospitality industry. We take inspiration from the architectural feats of 20th-century Europe, where designers created incredibly strong structures using minimal materials. This inspires us to craft beautiful pieces that are built to last, not just aesthetically but functionally as well.
We’re a young team, committed to using eco-conscious practices and incorporating locally sourced materials whenever possible. It’s not just about the furniture itself; it’s about the impact it has. We want our pieces to not only provide excellent durability but also evoke positive emotions in the people who use them.
We believe that creating furniture that’s both beautiful and sustainable is the way forward, and that’s what drives us every day.
The
philosophy
Our beginnings in Skopje have deeply shaped our approach to furniture design. Our lifeline has taught us to be resourceful, to rebuild and reimagine. This translates into our commitment to crafting high-quality, honest furniture at accessible prices. While our local heritage inspires our designs, we’re often influenced by modern techniques and concepts from far stretches of the globe. This fusion is the philosophy that drives us to create a positive effect around the world through our passionately crafted furniture.
With years of experience honed in our Skopje studio and workshop, we’re a reliable partner that you can count on to deliver durable, timeless furniture for every project.

PROCESS
Rinocca’s passion for craftsmanship
We believe that the quality of our furniture begins with the selection of the finest raw materials.
Craftsmanship: The cornerstone of enduring beauty and functionality
Our furniture is designed to look great and built to last. By carefully selecting our materials and using smart assembly techniques, our pieces remain functional and beautiful over time. Quality is our priority at every step, resulting in furniture that stands the test of time in any setting.
Assembly
Assembly begins with selecting the most stable wood available. Each piece of wood is carefully prepared to ensure it meets our strict standards. Our team then uses a variety of construction techniques to minimise movement, ensuring a stable and durable foundation for our furniture. This meticulous preparation allows us to assemble each piece with precision, resulting in robust and reliable furniture.
Construction
The construction phase at Rinocca involves using different types of joints and techniques to enhance the stability and longevity of our furniture. Given wood’s natural tendency to evolve and shift, our designs incorporate methods to counteract these movements. By combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative methods, we create pieces that are both beautiful and resilient, standing up to the test of time.
Finishing
Finishing is the final, yet crucial, step in our process. Once the construction phase is complete, each piece undergoes a thorough finishing process to protect and enhance its natural beauty. We apply finishes that not only highlight the wood’s unique characteristics but also provide durability against everyday wear and tear. This ensures that our furniture not only looks stunning but is also built to last, offering lasting enjoyment and satisfaction to our customers.
