“Useful design” for furniture and interiors in Food & Beverage establishments

IFI is one of the world’s leading companies supplying furnishings for food and beverage establishments. It was founded over 50 years ago as a small company that specialised in the production of bar counters and pastry and ice cream parlour display case. The company’s dedication to developing innovative products, which have become trend-setters in the sector, is the secret to its growth.

In 2005, the company took a step into the world of design with “Tonda”, the first round rotating ice-cream display case in history, acknowledged at the 21st ADI Compasso d’Oro industrial design awards; exported to over 70 countries, it is now considered to be an icon of Italian design.

In 2014, the company won the 23rd edition of the ADI Compasso d’Oro with the “Bellevue”, a previously unseen synthesis of solutions, combining perfect storage and visibility of the ice-cream flavours on offer. IFI is part of the I.f.i. S.p.A group, which employs 350 people and manages 50,000 square metres of production facilities.
