Lissoni＆Partnersarchitecture, nature and industry on the lake - Fantini Headquarters in Pella

Lissoni＆Partners, led by architectPiero Lissoni, designed Fantini’s new headquarters in a beautiful natural location on the shore of Lake Orta, in the municipality of Pella, province of Novara, Italy. The unique site becomes a key element in the project, in which the top priority is to preserve the ideal balance between architecture and nature, between the presence of industry and the natural setting. The quality of its architecture and perfect integration into its surroundings earned this complex, delicate project the2018 Best of Year Awardfrom American design magazine室内设计in the“kitchen and bathroom showroom” category.

The plan for the newFantini Headquartersis based on a new way of organising the company’s production process: the research and development centre has been moved in-house and the logistics department has been reorganised on the basis of the lean manufacturing method in order to minimise waste. The architects of Lissoni’s studio identified two main goals for the project’s relationship with its natural surroundings: making the most of the waterfront, and integrating the existing industrial buildings into their surroundings to ensure theoverall visual harmonyof the entire complex.
The existing factory buildings, including the offices, failed to take advantage of their exceptional lakeside setting; Piero Lissoni and his team placed the company’s most strategic functions, the offices and showroom, in this preferential position. The reception area is centrally positioned to ensure optimal management of flows of employees and visitors, who come to the entrance via a long pedestrian pathway parallel to the river, passing by the reception area to the lakeshore and a private wharf.
The offices and showroom enjoy panoramic views over the island of San Giulio, maintaining a constant relationship with the lakeshore through large floor-to-ceiling windows establishing a profound ongoing visual and physical dialogue between inside and outside.
