_Crafted in Italy for life and work Mara’s interpretation of mechanics is the corporate identity language— where engineering meets a refined design sensitiveness. Technology is made visible and becomes form, gesture, and narrative. This journal brings together the brand’s latest expressions—such as new products, ideas, and evolving perspectives. Colors, a distinctive element of Mara’s identity, are not applied as decoration but used as a design tool: a leverage to humanize the function and turn the material into a sensory experience. The result is a collection of systems that are both rigorous...

Nel mondo di Mara, il design prende forma in un equilibrio sottile tra intelligenza tecnica e sensibilita umana. Ogni prodotto nasce da una profonda competenza ingegneristica, dove precisione e innovazione guidano il processo, senza mai perdere il valore del gesto.

E in questo dialogo continuo tra tecnologia e mano che Mara costruisce la propria identita, trasformando la produzione in un racconto fatto di materia, controllo e...

«Non mi interessava aggiungere semplicemente degli accessori, ma completare un sistema.

Agent M ha scelto come concetto architettonico quello dell' «immersione progressiva», dalle postazioni di lavoro dinamiche e collaborative agli spazi piu isolati che rispondono all'esigenza di concentrazione. Il visitatore, sin dal suo arrivo, viene immerso nell'universo di Make Up For Ever — brand del Gruppo LVMH — con uno spazio di accoglienza che lo incarna. Successivamente accede al cuore collaborativo dello spazio: il make up warehouse, attorno al quale si sviluppano spazi di lavoro alternativi come gli spazi professionali e le sale riunioni, poi le zone piu riservate come gli uffici o i...

DESIGN MARCELLO ZILIANI La collezione di sedute Aera si distingue per un equilibrio calibrato tra essenzialità formale e ricerca del dettaglio: una linea che si tende, una struttura che si assottiglia, un oggetto che sembra sottrarsi alla materia pur mantenendo solidità e funzione. Una presenza visiva leggera, quasi sospesa, capace di dialogare con l’architettura senza sovrapporsi. Aera si sviluppa come una famiglia completa, capace di adattarsi a molteplici scenari d’uso, dalla ristorazione agli spazi collettivi, dagli ambienti di lavoro fino alle atmosfere più intime dell’abitare. AERA, effortless...

Marcello Ziliani reveals the story behind new Aera seating collection How did the concept of the new chair come about, and what design requirements guided its development? The concept of the Aera collection arises from an ambitious brief: integrate the key qualities of the office and contract sectors—ergonomics, comfort, versatility, and formal identity—into a single system. The project developed as a synthesis between the analysis of the most advanced solutions and the desire to define a contemporary and recognizable language. The complexity of the requirements and the challenging timeframe...

OTTO, the discipline of architecture and beauty The Otto collection, designed by Christophe Pillet, is born from an idea of clearness and essentiality: an immediate table that evidently expresses its function. The structure, defined by a double “T-shape” creates a strong and recognizable graphic signature. The metal leg, crafted with the precision of 3D laser cutting and available with upholstery too, yields a solid and architectural character, highlighting Mara’s patented height adjustment mechanism. The thick cantilevered tops introduce a controlled lightness. Conceived for both the office...
