ART-CHINDUSTRIAL DESIGN​

Riccardo Rami Studio

Riccardo Rami Studio takes life in the old factory of Pugi carpets, in the medieval walls of the city of Prato. The redevelopment of these spaces began in 1994 with the collaboration of architects Paolo and Francesco Paoletti. Everything changes without changing ...
The open spaces have remained the same with only a few new Connective openings. The second part of the studio was restored in 2004 and is the evolution of the first intervention. In this part, there are solutions dedicated to the sunlight that use the glass in the walls and glass surfaces in the mezzanine floor that leave the light on the lower floor. A waterfall of slate stone takes water from an old water well of the former factory and acts as a natural air ionizer. In all two parts, the materials used in the intervention are simple and natural: iron, wood, glass. The colors of the materials are inspired by Tuscany, a warmer tone in the first part and more neutral in the second.
All the interventions were thought out because, in the end, everything had to become only one. In terms of harmony of form, materials, colors, and solutions and to the context. Plants play an important role in the studio because they keep an energetic and harmonic balance. Furniture and all the setup was made with natural and recycled materials, paper material for works, packaging, and storage is everything with paper and kraft cardboard, recycled, resistant, and recyclable.
Energy systems have been converted into a modern low consumption system and all the lights are leds.
