When design meets sport, synergies are created that generate value, beauty and a sense of belonging.
It is with this spirit that LAGO, a Villa del Conte company and leader in the design and furnishing sector, and Pallavolo Padova, announce a new collaboration for the creation of the lounge and events area of the Kioene Arena, the home of volleyball and a symbolic place for the city of Padua.
The project, to be inaugurated on 21 December 2025, reinterprets the spaces of the Kioene Arena in a contemporary key, transforming them into versatile and welcoming environments, dedicated to institutional meetings, hospitality moments, conferences and interviews.
The lounge is furnished with pieces from LAGO 's Air collection , which re-imagine the relationship between solids and voids with a modular and suspended language. Table tops, bench surfaces and bookcases with tempered glass supports give the rooms an almost magical lightness.
Kitchens dialogue with tables and seating through the continuity of materials, generating a coherent and harmonious whole. The focus on modularity, transparency and space enhancement translates into interior architecture LAGO's design approach, aimed at creating bright, dynamic and adaptable environments.
More than an aesthetic intervention, it is therefore a dialogue between two realities that share common roots and the same vision of teamwork, putting people, emotions and community at the centre .
"I believe that space is a playground where people meet, inspire and grow together. Design, like sport, is a choral act: it is based on collaboration, listening and the desire to improve every day. - says Daniele Lago, President and Head of Design at LAGO - I had the good fortune to play volleyball at a good level and, perhaps, it was from there that I learnt that true beauty comes from the rhythm of the whole, from the ability to build play and harmony. Bringing this energy today to a place like the Kioene Arena is, in a way, a return to the origins, but also a step forward for the area that unites us."
With this collaboration, LAGO consolidates its bond with the city of Padua and the Veneto region, a fertile territory of ideas and talent, confirming its commitment to promoting a culture of design as an engine of social and cultural connection.
The lounge of the Kioene Arena thus becomes a new meeting space between design and sport, between creativity and passion, conceived to welcome guests, companies and fans in a context where every detail recounts the value of excellence and collaboration.
Fabio Cremonese, Past President of Pallavolo Padova, comments on the formalisation of the partnership as follows: "Welcoming a company like LAGO in our network of partners is a source of great pride. A company of absolute excellence in its sector that will contribute to making the hospitality area of the Kioene Arena a beautiful and functional space. LAGO has fully understood the significance of investing in a club like Pallavolo Padova, which welcomes into its home, the Kioene Arena, so many girls and boys who are committed to sport every day. The contribution of our new partner therefore also has a tangible social value, as well as a qualitative value of excellence. Lastly, let me say that, in my case, in addition to the satisfaction from a professional point of view, there is also the pleasure of having involved the LAGO family in our sports project, people who are friends and whom I also greatly respect on a human level'.
