The Poltrona Frau Group Contract Division is implementing the new Ferrari Corporate Identity for Ferrari dealer’s showrooms. The concept has been developed directly by Ferrari in collaboration with the Roman architectural studio Fortebis.
Thought with an ultra comfortable lounge philosophy, the design of the showrooms reflects flawlessly Ferrari culture and philosophy. Since the commencement of the project in April 2009 with a first showroom created inside the Ferrari’s headquar-ters in the new concept is expanding worldwide, from Sydney to Prague, from Tokyo to Lisbon.
A dedicated PFG contract division team has created high-end show-rooms for Ferrari which provide a completely new experience and ultimate luxury. The concept includes innovative information display units where all technical details of the cars are being presented like an artwork.
At the entrance of the showrooms a sleek white reception counter uphol-stered with Frau leather lacquered glass top creates the perfect setting to greet the guests. Again white lac-quered wooden platforms and niches with recessed lighting as well as metal plates with special Ferrari cars paint finishing are covering the walls of the showrooms.
Other than custom designed ele-ments, the concept foresees a selec-tion of timeless furniture and lighting pieces from the standard collections of Cassina, Poltrona Frau and Nemo.

Q: Why did you chose ‘blue’ for the upholstery which is not a traditional theatre colour?
A: The blue was chosen because of the modern and elegant nature of the theatre rather than traditional. Also a hint of green was added to accent inte-riors diversifying the ambiance in order to create movement and dynamism.
Q: This is your first “theatre” project, have you had fun during plan-ning process ?
A: At the beginning the project was really amusing because the scope of work was large, including the complete demolition of much of the building. Later, the project was changed and we had to restructure the existing archi-tecture, a long and difficult process.
Q: Can you let us know about the relation you established between buildings historical and new façade.
A: A contrast of relation. The main fa-çade was restored to its original state; exactly the same as built in 1922 while the rest of the renovation process was realized on a contemporary scale.
Q: Teatro Nazionale was abandoned for many years. How you managed major redevelopment plan that mod-ernize, renovate, and open up the building to public with latest technologies.
A: The interior of the building was completely demolished. This al-lowed us to bring in a fresh and modern design equipped with the latest technologies.

Pierre Hotel NYCThe Grand Suite 2111
Q: Pierre Hotel is a landmark hotel building in New York city. How you confronted this historical and institu-tional project with your purest con-temporary style and vision.
A: I wanted to create and introduce a new hospitality experience rees-tablishing the spirit of the past across modern design, pure sophistication and silence, the design of the Grand Suite 2111 was concepted for “the gentlemen traveler”. Contrast is created between the comfort of technology and the grandioseness of the selected artworks and objects. As always this is outstanding in my design philosophy.
Q: The Grand Suite 2111 that you have designed is a perfect example of ‘Made in Italy’ with a fine selection of Italian loose and fixed furniture. Can you tell us more about your ex-perience in New York with Poltrona Frau Group contract division.
A: In collaboration with Poltrona Frau Group contract division we developed and realized a fully custom made luxury suite: A substantial library in white lacquer, a historical fireplace and a sofa in leather are leading the living room. While selected artwork from Taj Hotel’s private collection recalls the history, 20th century icons from Cassina and contemporary pieces from Cappellini emphasize the multi ethnic soul of the hotel.
