Icons with a lens: C.P. Company at UNIT Hamburg

Since the 1970s, C.P. Company has stood for an independent approach between research, color and function. Designed by graphic designer Massimo Osti combines military and workwear references with technical fabrics and precise construction. For UNIT Hamburg, C.P. Company is a consistent choice: urban, masculine silhouettes that stand up to everyday wear - with visible added value in the details.

History in brief

Founded in BolognaC.P. Company developed garment dyeing piece dyeing (garment dyeing) as a central feature: ready-made pieces are dyed as a whole. The result is deep, vibrant nuances that emphasize the material and construction. Iconic functional details are added: the lens on the sleeve (watch viewer) and goggle hoodsthat combine vision and protection. Ever since the Mille Miglia-jacket, the brand has stood for innovative outerwear that combines practicality and design.

Our look behind the scenes (Archive Bologna)

We from UNIT Hamburg were allowed to visit Bologna the company archive of the founder - with a personal personal guided tour by the daughter of Massimo Osti. On display were prototypes, dye sample cards and early designs of the lens and goggle hood. This experience sharpens our focus: We choose the collection with an understanding of material, dyeing and function - exactly where C.P. Company has its strengths.
