Authority is verified through a deep digital footprint of named designers and institutional assets. Gaps are minimal, though the schema_json was reported as null in several crawls, which is a technical missed opportunity for a brand of this scale. However, the presence of specific professional resources like the Colour & Material Library provides technical credibility that offsets the lack of Person schema for staff members.

There is no disconnect between marketing tone and demonstration. Claims about being a ‘design company of international renown’ are demonstrated through the list of globally recognized designers (Girard, Citterio, Noguchi) and the sheer volume of technical documentation provided for the ‘Professionals’ segment. The site demonstrates knowledge of the design process rather than just making claims about it.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
