City: Maranello (MO)
Country: Italy
Architectural Design: Arata Isozaki, Andrea MaffeiAt Maranello, the home of Ferrari, a new library designed by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki with his Italian colleague Andrea Maffei. All Targetti lights, with two fixtures in particular playing the starring roles: the MAGMA LED projector and recessed CCT FLASH downlight projector for fluorescent lamps. The new library, which partially develops underground for about 1000 square meters, replaced an old warehouse whose outer walls were conserved.
An “organic” building was constructed inside this rectangle that vaguely resembles the outline of a leaf and represents, as explained by Maffei "the freedom of thought, study and expression". Between the curved glass walls and the library is a kind of stylised “moat” with water rippling over white pebbles. Everything is strictly white, including the furniture designed by Paolo Castelli of Bologna, the chairs by Ross Lovegrove and O-Nest armchairs by Tord Boontje, both made by Moroso. In this way, the reading rooms stand out against the pure white furniture, against the light games of the glass walls and dozens of CCT recessed ceiling lights that, at dusk, illuminate the interior and turn the library into an unusual luminous object.
Outside, five CCT FLASH lights with IP 54 glass were built into the canopy that characterises the entrance to the library. The exterior lighting also includes a series of EDEN bollard radial lights by Targetti. In the lower-ground level, consisting of conference and meetings rooms, some coloured chairs break up the whiteness of the areas, illuminated by numerous MAGMA professional projectors installed on tracks. The design team opted for innovative LED sources and, of course, a white finish.
