On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, Automobili Lamborghini decided to renovate the Studio Ad Personam—the place where clients' desires take shape in the customization of their dream cars. Having designed the original Studio in 2016, Archilinea was once again appointed to completely rethink this area at the heart of the Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters, conceived as the ultimate expression of Lamborghini’s individuality.

CONCEPT
The goal is to evoke emotion through an innovative storytelling approach that represents the evolution of the Brand’s image. The design features a continuous interplay between physical and virtual spaces that merge into an environment in constant flux, where content is perpetually visible and evolving. This fluid space serves as a theater for the client’s total immersion into the Lamborghini world. Celebrating the brand’s signature breathtaking design and vibrant aesthetics, the project elevates color from a mere decorative element to a primary hallmark of the brand identity.
PROJECT
The Studio Ad Personam maintains the authenticity of the Lamborghini character while projecting it into the future through an experience supported by cutting-edge technological devices. Details designed to amaze even the most demanding users allow for exceeding the highest expectations, creating something unique where technical precision and functionality are paramount.
The client is an active participant in the experience and the configuration process. The creative component is as essential as the technological one; the Studio provides a “real-world interactive palette” featuring over 400 paint nuances and more than 100 leathers, materials, and finishes. Every piece of furniture and accessory is specifically bespoke-designed for the Studio. A large-scale powerwall enables real-time visualization of the configured vehicle throughout the customer journey. The lounge area and configuration table offer a privileged vantage point to admire the car displayed on the rotating platform.
INTERIOR
Selected furnishing elements and lifestyle accessories feature the Heritage Pattern, exclusively designed for this project. Created to celebrate the brand’s legacy with a modern twist, this motif defines a timeless new aesthetic. Based on the concept of art as repetition, the juxtaposition of Lamborghini’s most iconic stylistic elements—enhanced by the signature colors of white, black, and gold—renders these pieces even more iconic through contrast and comparison.
Approccio
The project for this space, entirely dedicated to the clientele, becomes the visual and material expression of the company’s soul, mind, and voice.
