The House of creativity of Marca Corona
More than a showroom, a map of living values
Marca Corona's new exhibition space, recently opened in Sassuolo, is a think tank for new horizons, dedicated to all the people who make up our community, collaborators and architects, customers and suppliers.
At Marca Corona, we believe it is vital to build a bond of trust with each stakeholder in the market and in our land to design and share visions and future scenarios. It is no coincidence that our showroom is conceived as a House of Creativity to welcome ideas and become a place for exchange on the culture of living, before being a commercial hub. Briefly, this is the subject of the assignment given to Dainelli Studio.
The insightful search for harmonious solutions in shapes, materials and finishes, the ability to establish a dialogue between design and industrial production techniques and craftsmanship has allowed the architectural studio an impeccable interpretation of the Corona brand's wishes.
Dainelli Studio proposed a multifunctional and versatile container, where the layout can be transformed according to display needs, enhancing the multifaceted patterns created by the small-sized ceramics cleverly placed alongside the large slabs.
Indeed, the true hallmark of Marca Corona production is the versatility and richness of the proposal capable of creating customised solutions and infinite combinations within the same project.
This variety is made even more interesting by the ease of application of the compositions, designed also and precisely to make the combination of the collections smooth and easy.
Similarly, the new space also transfers a multitude of references and stimulations, always creating cosy atmospheres in different rooms: spacious lounges that invite conversation, design and vintage tables ideal for comparing about moodboards and floor plans, an island kitchen that envelops you in the taste of home.
An atelier is also available for designers to explore the company's eclectic collections and a large outdoor area to continue the experience in the shade of centuries-old trees and contemporary gazebos.
An additional peculiarity of Marca Corona's house of creativity is its spatial continuity with the company museum.
Galleria Marca Corona is the place where 300 years of know-how and artisan ingenuity are consecrated and retraced in a continuous physical and conceptual dialogue with today's innovations, facilitating that virtuous exchange with tradition that represents a source of pride for the company and the entire ceramic district.
Imagination, memory, play, inclusion, nature, dreams and complicity: these are just some of the deepest meanings of home and community. Dainelli Studio interpreted the philosophy of Marca Corona by overcoming architectural boundaries to draw much more than an exhibition space, a map of living values.
