The philosophy of Total Home Design arrives in Latin America with the first LEED Gold certified home

Gruppo Euromobil furnishes Casa Fenix Rionegro in Colombia

Gruppo Euromobil and its three brands – Euromobil cucine, Zalf mobili and Désirée divani - are well aware of the importance of safeguarding the environment: an essential issue in modern business, involving both production processes and individual products.

This attention to environmental matters has led to the choice of Gruppo Euromobil by Edgar Hernan Parra, Director General of MPS TEOREMA INGENIERIA, as supplier of all the furniture for the first house in Latin America to achieve “LEED GOLD FOR HOMES” certification. This is an international acknowledgement assigned to buildings for their energy efficiency, carbon footprint, innovation and design.

The project was implemented by Colombian architect Diego Ospina, site architect Luis Medina, Swiss engineer René Hussy and interior designer Merce Robledo.

Casa Fenix Rionegro is situated in the city of Medellín, capital of the department of Antioquia, Colombia. The strategic position of the villa, its energy and water efficiency, the use of sustainable materials and the quality of the interiors are just some of the numerous benefits that have led to its acknowledgement and certification.

Gruppo Euromobil, a leading Italian company in the furniture trade, is ideal as a partner in this challenge to safeguard the environment. The company pursues a project defined Ecosustainable Innovation Culture that embraces the founding elements of our across the board corporate philosophy involving production processes and products.

Gruppo Euromobil studied several interior décor solutions for Casa Fenix Rionegro: Euromobil provided FiloE25 kitchen furniture and Puzzle12 suspended elements for the living room, whereas Zalf supplied Main and Calla chairs, Monopoli wardrobes, equipped walk-in closet and suspended bookcases. Désirée contributed with Glow-in tables and sofas, One Flo easy chair, Oplà bed sofa, Alun Up, Zenit, Dedalo Up and Chance Up beds, as well as the Kara armchair with coordinated pouf.

“We are honoured to have been selected because of our environmental policy, as well as for the superior quality and design of our solutions” states Gruppo Euromobil AD Gaspare Lucchetta. “Sustainability is not only an element of our business, it is also a social issue, and our company is duty-bound to do whatever it can to be an example and make a contribution to safeguarding our environment. Sustainable design is now one of the characteristics of our solutions: functional, innovative, technological, attractive and sustainable. These values and the fact that our products are 100% made in Italy are our banner and we are proud to take them out into the world.”
