Design and ceramics renew a shopping center
FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center. Ceramic, the central element of the project, covers floors, walls and furniture with versatile solutions and distinctive character.
Although his love for politics prevailed in recent years, he believed active politics should live alongside his work as an architect and entrepreneur, the continuation of a profession that has no reason to exist unless rooted in society.
The founder in 1979 of Luceplan, which quickly became an iconic Italian design brand, a professor of architectural composition at Milan Polytechnic and at the Faculty of Architecture in Venice, President of Assoluce (Associazione dei Produttori Italiani degli Apparecchi di Illuminazione), active in Confindustria, president of CNAD (Consiglio Nazionale delle Associazioni per il Design), an advocate of the liberal entrepreneurs' forum Libertà & Giustizia and a member of the Partito Democratico Lombardo (he was the reformist candidate at the last regional elections), these are simply some of the many listings on his CV. Sarfatti pursued his love of architecture and design and the built environment in general as a civil commitment. He was always to the fore in all the civil and social battles he was unable to ignore - from the smallest to the largest, from political issues, e.g. those regarding work strategies based on an exploitation "of a production structure that is, in some ways, original and unique", to the more universal ones, e.g. the social and political shift of a city and region that he believed should retain its core essence linked to an industrial identity.
