Associate design firm Iosa Ghini Associati has taken on the project of renovating an office space for Italian surfacing manufacturer Fiandre. This will be a project that works on the 1980s headquarter location in Castellarano. The team uses ceramic to cover nearly all of the interior space from the walls and floors continuing to the custom furniture that has been created. It takes over three floors and 2,400 square meters.
Fiandre shares that "Ceramic surfaces were applied like a changing, decorative skin to floors and walls, at times adorned with precious triangular and herringbone cuts to embellish the spaces without ever overdoing it." Different sections were differentiated by the different uses of Fiandre ceramics that were applied.
