Architect Marco Visconti brought futuristic architecture to the new restaurant of Ferrari, Italy's most important sports car company. Using shapes that seem inspired by space flight, his intriguing design features many areas that showcase Hunter Douglas ceilings.

Two different colors - silver and dark gray - create an interplay of contrast and slat dimensions. In the first-floor canteen, which can hold more than 600 people, Techstyle® E acoustical ceilings were used to optimize acoustics. The panels' white colour blend well with the wooden, white-stained beams and the li... More
