The historic headquarters of the Fornace, a 20th-century building, was renovated to host both the company’s offices and an expansive showroom. Playing with a palette of dusty colors across walls and custom furnishings, we employed cold tones at the entrance, where floors in grey terracotta slats run towards baby blue walls, establishing a trait d’union with the warm shades that dominate throughout three exhibition halls.
Here among the rich hues of dove-grey, ochre, earth, and eggplant, are a succession of Tivoli, Bibiena, and Capriccio floors designed by Cristina Celestino, their sinuous forms and hypnotic geometries alternating between the warm colors of traditional Lombard terracotta - multicolored, pink, mocha, and white - for a surprisingly scenographic effect.
