Marcel Wanders
When Design Meets the Art of Parquetry
Renowned designer Marcel Wanders, known for his artistic vision and collaborations with iconic brands such as Louis Vuitton, Alessi, Roche Bobois, and Moooi, chose Berti Pavimenti to create the inlaid parquet flooring for his private residence in Amsterdam.
Known for his eclectic style, Wanders fuses elements of contemporary design and ornamental classicism in his work, creating environments that evoke emotion and tell stories. In this collaboration, the goal was to transform the floor into an exclusive decorative element, an expression of a perfect balance between art and craftsmanship.
The Choice of Berti Flooring – Precision and Creativity
For such an ambitious project, Marcel Wanders wanted a floor that would best express his concept of “contemporary romanticism,” with delicate inlays and unique decorative patterns.
✔ Bespoke Design: every detail of the parquet flooring was designed to harmonize with the décor and atmosphere of the residence.
✔ Laser Technology and Craftsmanship: the laser-cut inlay technique allowed for absolute precision in decorative shapes and patterns.
✔ Precious Materials: the parquet flooring was made from a selection of high-quality wood species, processed with sophisticated finishes to enhance the natural texture of the wood.
✔ A Unique Floor: the combination of traditional techniques and innovation made it possible to create a walkable work of art, perfectly in line with Wanders’ vision.
The Installation – A Project of Precision and Mastery
The floor designed for Marcel Wanders’ residence features sinuous lines, inlaid details and refined color contrasts, combining luxury with functionality. The installation required high precision to ensure continuity and harmony of design across the entire surface.
Processing stages:
- Detailed design: Wanders and the Berti team collaborated in defining the design, selecting materials and finishes.
- High-precision laser cutting: this technology made it possible to create complex inlays with a perfect fit between the wooden elements.
- Handcrafted laying: the laying of the parquet was done with extreme care to maintain the artistic integrity of the project.

The result? A floor with a strong visual impact, capable of transforming the space into a living work of art.
