“Something we use every day should fit the human being in every sense” Alvar Aalto, 1967

It has been over 70 years since Alvar Aalto created the famous vases whose undulating forms evoke the lakes from his country. But this inspiration in his homeland also extended to other areas of design. Alvar Aalto had an overarching concept of architecture as a way of life. So, besides designing buildings, he designed its furniture, lighting and up to the smallest details. 

Concrete floors are widely used by architects and designers for its durability, and a variety of colors and textured finishes that provide a wide spectrum of design possibilities.

Increasingly aware to the impact of human intervention in our ecosystem, artebel® developed ECOPAVÊ®, a pavement that besides enabling various patterns offer high water permeability to the soil, allowing diverse possibilities for grass growing.

When we think about holiday homes, whether by the beach or in the countryside, we think about comfort and serenity, good family times or just simple leisure, away from our daily routines and concerns.

After a day at the beach or playing in the garden, the last thing we want to worry about is sand or dirt damaging the floor. That's why choosing the right floor is essential for a more relaxed lifestyle, particularly considering maintenance and resistance.

Gaetano Pesce, leader of Italian Radical Design, is well known worldwide for his multidisciplinary work, experimental and non-conformist. Currently, his work can be found in the permanent exhibits at major museums all over the world.

In an unpublished interview, we analyse some of the stages of his career, which already has more than 50 years and reflect upon different theoretical issues and matters in an effort to anticipate the future of design.
