Elle, a tribute to lightness DESIGN FERRUCCIO LAVIANI A transversal, modular, modern architecture, a tribute to lightness. Consisting of a modular structure, the Elle bookcase allows numerous compositions, accommodating spaces and needs. The stylistic feature, however, is contained in the “L” element that gives shape to the shelves: by playing with the orientations, it is possible to create closed shapes, thus containers or dividers, or open shapes for visible shelves. By changing arrangements and heights, you obtain systems that are always new and customisable. Un’architettura trasversale, componibile,...

“The idea was to make a bookcase suiting to the office that could at the same time be a container for the home. A bookcase that would also be a room divider: an object to separate a living room from a salle à manger or a functional workplace from a meeting room, or just a partition for any space. As a consequence, I tried to make this technical object a little more familiar and with a dual key of interpretation”. “L’idea è stata quella di fare una libreria che potesse essere una libreria per l’ufficio ma allo stesso tempo un contenitore per la casa. Una libreria che non fosse solo una libreria...

What does technology at Mara mean to you? Mara & Christophe Pillet, a philosophy of minimalism, linear aesthetics and quiet technology / CHRISTOPHE PILLET, Designer At Mara, technology is something very different from what is usually expected. I see people who have a desire to do things well, to make them work well. There is a human ambition behind the technology and not just a conceptual idea of using a technique. It is very much related to the ‘humanity of the craftsman’: technology is not something to show off or exhibited, but it is rather to be there just to make projects or objects that...

Foil, essential and monochromatic DESIGN CHRISTOPHE PILLET Designed to be completely monochrome, Foil is suitable for living on its own or, in workspace contexts, in multiple compositions, transforming itself into a system that expands the space in broad perspectives. The sliding top integrated with Mara mechanisms reveals the storage space underneath. The frame is not only an aesthetic detail, it serves to conceal the mechanical system, as well as any accessories that Foil may be equipped with, like the practical drawers. Mara and Pillet have designed a project that responds to the current concept...

The table’s mechanical elements are concealed. Gli elementi meccanici del tavolo sono nascosti. Rediscovering the functional beauty of the office world The Foil table appears as “a top with four legs”, all in metal. There is no complexity on sight, no articulated structure, no overexposure in form or technique: just a flat surface bordered by a minimal frame and supported by four ultrathin legs. «A line, a sign imprinted in the air», according to its author’s vision. Il tavolo Foil appare come “un piano con quattro gambe”, tutto in metallo. Non c’è complessità alla vista, nessuna struttura articolata,...

Mara & Laviani, a collaboration with architectural value Ferruccio Laviani has designed “Transcendence” the Mara stand at Salone del Mobile.Milano, matching his creative flair with the brand identity. An installation where its building elements have been inspired by the contemporary ecoarchitecture.

“We chose this location because it represents those values linked to the tradition of our work, the innovation of how we want to interpret it, and above all the caring about people who are central to the project for us. In fact spaces are freely managed, including my office that anyone has access to and can use when it is needed. The choice of furniture was also carefully considered, to harmonise the architecture and the functionality”. Palazzo Bocconi, the new W Executive headquarters between tradition and innovation Milan, Corso Venezia 48. This is the prestigious Palazzo Bocconi, built at...

The future of work is shared, better with colour and sensory design! Mara’s multifaceted, sensorial and colourful design continues to put the person at the centre. The anthropocentric design is an increasingly central topic in contemporary living experiences, which looks at design not only in its functional effectiveness but also in its generated emotions and sensations that foster the evolution of the relationship between furniture and its users. Within a panorama full of colour, senses, design, architecture and beauty in all its forms, Mara keeps creating new expressions of furniture that foster...
