The artistic parquet project created by Berti Pavimenti Legno for Villa Belvedere, a historic private residence located in Macherio, Brianza, represents one of the most significant interventions in the creation of decorative and custom-made parquet for prestigious villas and residences.
The Berti wood flooring work inside the villa was carried out in 1995, as part of the restoration and enhancement of the home’s interiors. The villa’s ownership had been acquired by a company linked to the entrepreneur Silvio Berlusconi, transforming the residence into one of the most well-known private homes in Brianza.
For this project, Berti Pavimenti Legno designed and created an artistic and custom-made parquet system with decorative marquetry, characterized by complex geometric patterns and bespoke decorative compositions, designed to enhance the villa’s representative rooms.
Artistic parquet floors with decorative marquetry
The floors are created through inlaid artistic parquet craftsmanship, with wood elements shaped with high precision to create continuous decorative compositions throughout the residence’s rooms.
One of the project’s most characteristic elements is the radial design of the artistic parquet, with a central decorative medallion from which inlaid geometric patterns develop and expand toward the outer edges of the room, creating a visual effect of great balance and refinement typical of luxury parquet flooring.
The decorative compositions are made using various fine wood species, including maple, cherry, wenge, oak, and European walnut. The combination of light and dark woods creates natural color contrasts that highlight the inlaid parquet designs and enhance the depth of the decorative geometries.
This type of craftsmanship represents one of the most refined expressions of Italian artistic parquet, where design, technology, and artisanal tradition come together to create artistic parquet of great aesthetic value for prestigious villas and residences.
Technology and laser cutting in artistic parquet
The creation of the floors for Villa Belvedere coincided with a phase of strong technological innovation for Berti Pavimenti Legno. In fact, this project used one of the first laser cutting systems applied to the production of inlaid artistic parquet, a technology that allows for extremely high precision in the creation of decorative elements.
The introduction of laser cutting makes it possible to:
achieve high-precision cuts in decorative elements
faithfully reproduce complex geometric patterns
improve efficiency in the production of artistic parquet
ensure superior aesthetic quality in decorative parquet
This experience helped consolidate Berti’s technical know-how in the design and creation of decorative wood floors and luxury parquet for historic villas, private residences, and high-level interior design projects.
Wood floors with an antique effect
A finish capable of reproducing the atmosphere of antique parquet from historic Italian homes was developed for the villa’s rooms. The result is a wood floor with a textured surface and warm tones, obtained through processes inspired by Venetian artisanal tradition. This experience led to one of the company’s most representative products: Antico Veneto, a parquet characterized by a natural and slightly lived-in aesthetic that enhances the wood’s structure and recalls the charm of historic floors.
