In this interview, Barbara Viero, Wall Coatings Line Specialist at Mapei, explains how paints are redefining modern office design. Once seen as mere finishes, paints now are able to improve air quality and comfort while shaping welcoming and stylish workplaces. Mapei’s Dursilite range and Mapecoat ACT combine sustainability, washability and long-lasting performances.

Across the globe, Mapei uses its own innovative products to create modern, sustainable and comfortable workplaces for employees. From the new headquarters in Sweden and Slovenia, to offices in Italy and Portugal, and manufacturing plants in Canada and the USA, each project showcases flooring, coatings and waterproofing systems tailored to performance and design. These projects embody the company’s values of innovation, quality and people-focused design.

Mapei Group’s Engineering Team oversees the design and construction of new offices and plants worldwide, ensuring projects align with innovation, sustainability and employee well-being. Each initiative begins with in-depth feasibility studies and involves multidisciplinary teams working closely with local businesses and professionals. Sustainability is central and recent projects in Slovenia, Finland and Poland exemplify this approach.
