Lissoni Casal Ribeiro has known several projects they have undertaken. The first project is 'Hotel Cafe Royal' in London, UK. Hotel Cafe Royal' was a historic cafe between Mayfair
and Soho, at central London, in England. The cafe was transformed into a luxury hotel in
2012 by David Chipperfield Architects.
Lissoni Casal Ribeiro participated in the project and designed all public areas such as the
lobby, concierge, two restaurants and sushi bar.
Piero Lissoni, who was in charge of the project, led the work of redecorating the space
modernly, maintaining the historical structure of the 'Hotel Cafe Royale' that began in
1865. As a result, it was able to be reborn as a place with new features while delicately
harmonizing the past and the present.
The second project to be introduced is the 'San Lorenzo Shipyard' owned by the Ameglia Company. Lissoni Casal Ribeiro was responsible for the design of the 'San Lorenzo
Shipyard', which recently began operation of a new production facility.
Lissoni Casal Ribeiro, who participated in the project, introduced modern architectural
techniques to reaffirm the strong industrial importance of the shipyard. Each new building defines architectural elements and expresses industry thinking explicitly using materials
such as cement and metal.
The project provides aesthetic uniformity, brings the industrial aspect back to the
essentials, and integrates architectural language with colors and new finishes.
It is also planning the second phase of restoring historic buildings in the same place to
provide continuous aesthetic uniformity between existing and recently completed
buildings.
The third project introduced by Lissoni Casal Ribeiro is the new flagship office at the San
Lorenzo Shipyard in Singapore. he project, undertaken by Lissoni Associati, focuses on
continuing to expand the identity developed for the “World Boat Show”. In particular, the design of this office utilizes the style elements of the space designed for cultural events
such as Art Basel, a luxury watch exhibition in Switzerland.
Meanwhile, a new lighting fixture was also released at Lissoni Casal Ribeiro. Named
DIversion. This luminaire is an innovative and minimized lighting system designed by
Piero Lissoni for surface and pendant devices, featuring exceptional flexibility.
In particular, the multifunctional rail incorporates strip lights and small spotlights, and can adapt to any architectural need and create numerous shapes.
