Romo: an Unmistakably British Style
Romo's strength is continuity: over a century of textile research, accumulated generation after generation, that has made fabric one of the great British manufacturing traditions. In the 1980s, Romo established its first in-house design studio — a choice that marked the definitive transition from manufacturer to creative brand. From that moment on, every collection is born from an autonomous artistic direction, not from external trends interpreted belatedly. This model allows the Romo Group to cover the entire spectrum of contemporary taste, from the most refined classical British aesthetic to the urban and graphic sensibility of its more recent brands, without ever compromising on the quality of materials and workmanship.
The Romo Group: One Vision of Quality
Romo comprises six brands, each born to address a precise aesthetic need. Romo is synonymous with classic British sophistication — a wide range of plains and designs of timeless character. Black Edition combines premium weaving quality with unprecedented colour palettes, for those who seek declared luxury. Kirkby Design brings bold geometries and pop colours into a contemporary register. Mark Alexander works with natural textures and neutral tones inspired by the English landscape. Villa Nova offers an accessible and modern aesthetic for a broad audience. Zinc Textile, launched in 2010, captures the revival of the 1970s in an urban and graphic key, conceived for both residential and commercial contexts. Six voices, one single guarantee of origin.
