At the Salone del Mobile, Ferruccio Laviani talks about Mara Arena and the evolution of the Elle system

On the occasion of Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, Simon Keane-Cowell — editor-in-chief of Architonic — met with Ferruccio Laviani to explore the Mara Arena architectural project and discuss the evolution of the Elle system.
Originally conceived as a modular bookcase, Elle has now evolved into a complete and versatile solution, designed to naturally adapt to spaces and to the needs of contemporary living.

I believe it is important to create something that is not only graphically or visually designed, but that also generates an atmosphere. The visitor should remember the experience they lived, even if it lasted only a few minutes at the Salone. That memory becomes part of their perception of the brand over time”.
