Anniversary celebration | RIM 35
An evening full of encounters, memories, and a wonderful atmosphere. Above all, it was a reminder that behind 35 years of RIM are people, relationships, and shared work.
At the beginning there was nothing more than two friends, who wished to create something new. Although they started RIM from scratch, no capital or technical equipment whatsoever, in the 1991, their very first chair saw the light of the day.
