Luigi Ferrario

production mafi and COSTI DESIGN

Luigi Ferrario graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic School of Turin and achieved a master in architectural and environmental restoration at Rome University. At 25 he was director of the architecture department of the Centre d’Experimentation Artistique Marie Louise Jeanneret in Boissano and at 26 he opened his Laboratorio Architettura Contemporanea (Laboratory of Contemporary Architecture) in Rome: a professional studio and a gallery for modern and contemporary architecture exhibitions. In 1989 he moved his studio to Milan. He designed and built many works of architecture as well as monumental and urban restoration, interior architecture and design projects, that have been published in Italian and international books and magazines in Germany, England, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey and Spain. Some of these are still underway: a multi-storey building in Milan and one in Beirut, a small tower in New York, a few riads in Marrakech and an experimental house in aluminium. A few of his works and projects are exhibited in the Biennale in Venice, at the Festival of Architecture in Parma and, in 2003, in the Medaglia d’Oro all’Architettura Italiana exhibition at the Triennale of Milan, where he was awarded with a honour mention. The restoration project for Legnano Castle was chosen among the Italian works featured at the 2009 European Union Prize for Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.


Silver Tigeroak in Living Room and on Stairs

Our partner mafi Swiss send us this really beautiful reference.  If you are working with an installer who is not only perfect on the technical side, also perfect as a designer you get a wonderful result. The cracks are perfectly staged and also the different colors of the planks. A perfect composition of a mafi Tigeroak.

The integration of the Tiger Oak in the stairs is a sample of high end handcrafted implementation.
