An important recognition that represents the first step towards the ADI Compass of Gold 2026, the oldest but above all the most authoritative world design award, born in 1954 from an idea by Gio Ponti to enhance the quality and innovation of Italian design products.
Elle designed by Ferruccio Laviani selected in the ADI Design Index 2025
The Elle bookcase designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Mara, a company from Brescia that produces furniture for the office, contract and home, has been selected for the ADI Design Index 2025, the annual publication curated by the ADI Permanent Observatory of Design that collects the best selection of products and projects that stand out in the contemporary Italian landscape.
Elle rappresenta una sintesi perfetta tra ricerca formale, innovazione tecnica e cura del dettaglio, valori che da sempre contraddistinguono l’approccio progettuale di Mara sempre più orientato alla sostenibilità ambientale.
Elle è un sistema libreria componibile, moderno e interamente riciclabile, progettato per adattarsi con versatilità a contesti sia domestici sia professionali
The modular structure allows numerous configurations for different needs and spaces and is entirely made of metal with 3D laser cutting and welding technology that ensure superior construction quality and an unprecedented aesthetic finish. The ‘L’ element that shapes the shelves allows for open or closed configurations.
Cambiando orientamenti e altezze, Elle si trasforma, offrendo soluzioni personalizzabili e implementabili con nuove attrezzature, interpretando in chiave familiare un oggetto tecnico: non solo libreria per l’ufficio, ma anche contenitore per la casa, divisorio per ogni situazione, elemento funzionale che unisce estetica, leggerezza e flessibilità

Being selected in the ADI Design Index is an important milestone for us, which recognizes not only the design value of Elle, but also the company’s constant commitment to conscious and increasingly sustainable production.
This recognition rewards a vision that has been guiding our investments for years: to combine aesthetics, functionality and construction quality with respect for the environment. The Elle bookcase perfectly synthesizes these values and fully represents our idea of Made in Italy: the timeless union of innovation and design.
