Our mission is to create modern interior doors that combine striking design with a strong focus on environmental care and sustainability
Vision
In 2004, designer Massimo Luca conceived the ADL project, with the aim of creating technologically advanced products that also serve as architectural elements. His extensive design experience, combined with his forward-thinking approach, shaped the company’s direction. ADL focuses on crafting doors that transcend their role as mere furnishings, instead completing a space by becoming an integral part of it.
ADL doors stand out for their ability to transform into partitions that sub-divide rather than divide spaces, while simultaneously connecting them, embodying what Ludwig Mies van der Rohe defined as “flowing spaces”.
Massimo Luca
The seamless integration of technical-aesthetic quality with advanced technology is the result of Massimo Luca’s intelligence, sensitivity, and professional expertise in the field of interior design. These qualities quickly propelled ADL beyond national borders, establishing it as a leading player in the international market.
After completing his studies in Urban Planning at IUAV, Venice’s renowned technical university, Massimo embarked on a twenty-year career in avant-garde design. During this time, he collaborated with numerous influential designers and worked with prominent companies in the fields of kitchen design, furniture, and hi-tech aluminium products. His cultural exchanges with luminaries such as Karim Rashid, Carlo Colombo, and Ross Lovegrove significantly influenced his approach to design. Today, many of his successful projects are featured in buildings created by esteemed figures like Armani Casa, Matteo Thun, and Renzo Piano.
The stylistic explorations undertaken during those years, combined with meticulous material studies – particularly the pairing of aluminium and glass – led Massimo Luca to develop an eclectic design philosophy. His approach transcends mere aesthetic virtuosity, pushing his creations into the realm of hi-tech functional innovation.
As a result, his doors are not simply interior objects but gateways to the future of modern living. These openings do not merely divide spaces but instead foster a synergy between them, bringing to life Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s vision of “flowing spaces”.
Environment and sustainability
ADL places significant emphasis on environmental sustainability, striving to minimise the ecological impact of its industrial activities. The company designs and manufactures recyclable products that ensure maximum durability and reliability over time. Every stage of production is carried out entirely in-house, thereby ensuring that each single door is made up of elements that can be easily separated at the end of their lifecycle.
ADL’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its manufacturing processes to the careful selection of primary materials, mainly 100% recyclable glass and aluminium. The company is also equipped with a photovoltaic system that fulfils all its energy needs.
ADL Showroom
”Show the future that ADL doors want to open onto living spaces”: this vision inspires the style and architecture of the ADL showroom.
Located at the company’s headquarters in Vicenza, Via Preazzi 79, the showroom is a welcoming, contemporary, and dynamic space that fully embodies the brand’s values and commitment to quality. Designed to showcase the excellence of Made in Italy products, the ADL showroom offers an exhibition journey that blends cutting-edge technology with an eclectic design across a variety of products.
The interiors are illuminated by natural light that filters in through a large glass well that houses an elegant ginkgo biloba garden, whose shapes and colours are reflected in a captivating waterfall feature.
The showroom’s style balances aesthetic rigour – achieved through the harmonious blend of aluminium and glass – with innovative design. Research and the incorporation of unconventional materials breathe new life into the concept of the door. Glass, wood, resin, stone, metals such as brass and corten steel, porcelain stoneware, and ceramics are all applied to ADL’s advanced technological systems. These materials make the showroom an exclusive exhibition area and a valuable resource for trade professionals, offering bespoke design solutions. The exhibition space is continuously updated, serving not only as a communications hub but also as a meeting and training venue for ADL colleagues and dealers.
