Pininfarina and Brandt Studio Introduce Vici: A Sculptural Fusion of Craftsmanship, Competition, and Italian Refinement
Miami, Florida, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Envisioned by Pininfarina, a global symbol of Italian design excellence, and the precision engineering and manufacturing of Brandt, Vici Design by Pininfarina (Vici) is a bold reinterpretation of a pool table, where elegance meets performance, and where form is inseparable from function.
Inspired by Julius Ceasar's legendary words – 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' ('I came, I saw, I conquered') – the Vici Collection embodies the spirit of triumph through design, elevating a table, from an object of leisure to a statement of style. The collection is a seamless blend of timeless form, material innovation, and meticulous artisanal detail. From aerodynamic geometry to luxurious surfaces, Vici transforms any space—from penthouse to private club—into a refined stage for connection and competition.
'Vici is the result of 95 years of experience across diverse fields. With this collection, we're introducing game tables that seamlessly integrate into the spaces we design—offering moments of connection and enjoyment,' said Francisco Barboza, Senior Design Manager at Pininfarina of America.
'We're starting with pool, but our vision extends to ping pong, mahjong, and beyond. The design challenges the conventional pool table archetype by featuring a single sculptural base and an ultra-thin, smooth playing surface—without compromising on professional standards.'
Born of Two Legacies
Behind the Vici collection lies a story of passion and precision. Daniel Brandt has spent decades crafting one-of-a-kind tables from his Miami-based workshop. Combining old-world techniques with modern innovation, Brandt's approach is tactile, thoughtful, and deeply personal. His past creations have graced some of the world's most exclusive homes and hotels, and now—with Vici—his legacy enters a new chapter alongside Pininfarina's design mastery
'Every table tells a story. With Vici, we set out—together with the visionaries at Pininfarina—to create something that speaks the language of legacy, design, and performance in perfect harmony. It's not just about how it plays—it's about how it lives in a space, how it stirs emotion when you walk into the room. It's a functional piece of art, designed to bring people together and turn moments into lasting memories,' said Dan Brandt, founder and master craftsman at Brandt Studio.
PF 95: A Collector's Edition of Distinction
To mark the beginning of this collaboration, Pininfarina and Brandt unveil PF 95 Anniversario —a special edition table limited to just 95 numbered units. Featuring red Simonis cloth, rose gold metals, dark blue lacquer, and Italian nubuck leather, the PF 95 is a tribute to craftsmanship, not just a celebration of Pininfarina's 95-year legacy.
Each unit bears a unique nameplate—etched, numbered, and mounted as a symbol of pride and permanence.
A Dual Expression of Design Philosophy
The Vici collection will be available in two foundational lines – Performance and Elegance — each with its own aesthetic philosophy: one driven by athletic precision, the other by refined atmosphere: The Performance Line – Defined by geometric tension, aerodynamic contours, and bold finishes, this line channels the spirit of competition with a dynamic edge.
The Elegance Line – Featuring warm tones, softer geometry, and refined surface treatments, this variation offers a statement of sophistication and ambiance.
Each line includes multiple color configurations, allowing customization for high-end interiors.
Designed for uncompromised gameplay, each Vici table features tournament-grade Simonis cloth, solid hardwood structure, and bespoke leather and metal finishes. Every model is marked with a custom nameplate, signifying authenticity and pride in craftsmanship.
Whether placed in a minimalist loft, a luxury suite, or a yacht salon, Vici transforms the act of play into a statement of style. More than furniture, it reflects Pininfarina's approach to holistic experience—where form, function, and emotion converge.
The collection is a celebration of the game, where craftmanship, competition, and Italian refinement converge. This is not just about game; it's about playing with style.

Displaced by Wildfires, the Palisades Community Finds a Slice of Home as Cinque Terre West Reopens in Venice
As the Palisades Fire burned through the Santa Monica Mountains on January 7, 2025, Marlo and chef Gianbattista 'Gianba' Vinzoni were on a flight approaching Los Angeles International Airport. They watched massive plumes of smoke darken the sky from the window of their plane, which was the last flight allowed to land before the airport closed for the night. Since the devastating fires, the couple, who previously lived with their two children in the Palisades, relocated their family to multiple temporary rentals before settling in Venice. They were forced to close their longtime Palisades restaurant, which was severely damaged, and eventually operated out of Venice ghost kitchen the Colony on Lincoln Boulevard. But as of June 23, the Vinzonis have reopened their locally loved restaurant Cinque Terre West at 523 Rose Avenue in Venice, in the space previously occupied by Bluestone Lane. For Palisades wildfire survivors, Cinque Terre West's reopening is a welcome sight. Displaced Palisades resident Andre Ulloa was instrumental in helping the Vinzonis bring their restaurant back to life. Ulloa, who works in the financial sector and formerly served as CEO of Yamashiro in Hollywood for 15 years, invested in the restaurant so the couple could reopen. Ulloa finds it comforting to see Cinque Terre West's return. 'Marlo and Gianba were able to make deep connections with the Palisades,' says Ulloa. 'The new location still has that aura they captured in the Palisades. With so many residents relocating to Venice, they're providing a slice of nostalgia because it was such a special space for the many generations who lived in the Palisades.' Regulars will find the same menu with branzino and tuna shallot crudos, grilled octopus salad, pan-seared Chilean sea bass, pizzas, and Gianba's homemade lobster pasta. From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., daily brunch and lunch include a classic American breakfast as well as omelettes, Italian croissants and focaccia made by Gianba, breakfast sandwiches, and salads. Gianba also makes Cinque Terre's gluten-free pizza crust and focaccia, and serves gluten-free pasta as an alternative to the standard pasta he and his team make in house. The two transformed the former Bluestone Lane into their own personal space. The 1,200-square-foot restaurant seats 50 with a sunny patio on this busy stretch of Rose Avenue next to Venice Beach Wines and modern Mexican restaurant Chulita. The couple took weeks to clean out the space, repaint, and add distinctly coastal Italian artwork to make it a bright, inviting dining room with a deep ocean blue exterior. They're working with the city in hopes of adding the established al fresco sidewalk dining space, but also have the front patio with new floors for diners to nest on. Before opening on Monday, Marlo and Gianba found a loyal stream of customers who continued to ask them when they would open. Many of these regulars either moved permanently or are waiting for repairs on their Palisades homes. The Vinzonis won't be able to move back into their Palisades condo for at least a year. Both believe they persevered in these last six months because of the inherent up-and-down nature of restaurant ownership. 'We always find a way to keep going and restarting,' says the Italian-born Gianba. 'I always tell everybody that if I ever have a heart attack, I'm not going to die right away.' 'I'll clean the plate, cook, serve, and then I can just collapse on the floor,' he adds, laughing. Cinque Terre West is open for brunch from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily at 523 Rose Avenue, Venice, CA, 90291. Dinner is 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Friday until 9:30 p.m., and Sunday from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. See More:

Jeep, Dodge parent Stellantis doubles down on the US
The U.S. auto industry is a fraction of what it was 50 years ago. Thanks to robust competition from Japan and Europe, the industry has been essentially stagnant since the 1970s, when the U.S. produced about 10 million vehicles annually. Despite the population growing by more than 60% since then, car manufacturers produced just 10.6 million vehicles in the U.S. in 2023. Related: Jeep Dodge parent Stellantis makes change US consumers will love "We're in a triage situation," United Auto Workers Union President Shawn Fain, representing the largest auto worker union in the country, told ABC earlier this year. "Tariffs are an attempt to stop the bleeding from the hemorrhaging of jobs in America for the last 33 years." So Fain, who strongly opposed President Donald Trump during his campaign, has enthusiastically supported Trump's economic agenda since he took office. Frequent Fain nemesis General Motors CEO Mary Barra has also come around on Trump after clashing with him throughout his first term in office. Once again, the change of heart was spurred by the 25% tariffs the U.S. Treasury has been collecting on auto imports since April. "For decades now, it has not been a level playing field for us automakers globally, with either tariffs or non-tariff trade barriers. So I think tariffs is one tool that the administration can use to level the playing field." Now, international conglomerate Stellantis is embracing its American roots with a recent move. If U.S. auto fans thought American icon Chrysler lost some of its luster when it merged with Italian stalwart Fiat, then the 2021 merger of Fiat Chrysler with French automaker Peugeot threatened to kill the brand altogether. Former CEO Carlos Tavares left the company in late 2024, and on Monday, June 23, new CEO Antonio Filosa started his tenure. Stellantis' choosing Filosa was an early signal that the U.S. market was one of the company's priorities, as he cut his teeth as head of the North American market. Under former CEO Carlos Tavares' leadership, Stellantis laid off American factory workers, shuffled its C-suite, and forced its U.S. brands to push products that American customers didn't like. Meanwhile, Filosa announced he will keep his director of North America title as he moves the CEO's office to Detroit, Michigan. Stellantis revealed in May that it will build a $388 million "Megahub" in Van Buren Township, just outside Detroit. When the facility is completed in 2027, it "will feature cutting-edge technology" and will probably look more like an Amazon fulfillment warehouse than a typical auto parts distribution center. Related: Jeep, Dodge parent has no solution for this emerging problem "Our customers count on us to deliver the right part, at the right time, every time," said Mopar North America Senior VP Darren Bradshaw. "With the Metro Detroit Megahub, we're building a faster, smarter and more reliable parts distribution network that puts their needs first. This investment reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence, while also creating a modern, high-tech workplace for our employees." This investment isn't free. Of course, there is the nearly $400 million facility price tag, but Stellantis has sold multiple sites in the Detroit area in recent years. This investment attempts to consolidate the company's footprint into a new, state-of-the-art facility, according to a Supply Chain Drive report. Stellantis has a lot of work to do to win back American consumers. The company reported a 14% year-over-year decline in revenue. Consolidated shipments fell 9% to 1.2 million, which the company blamed on lower North American production. Despite being a partially U.S.-located brand, Stellantis imported 564,000 vehicles last year, well ahead of Ford's 420,000 imports but below GM's total. Stellantis reported that total first-quarter U.S. sales decreased 12% year-over-year, despite a 16% increase in Ram brand sales and a 1% increase in Chrysler brand sales. Jeep brand sales saw a 2% increase. More on carmakers: Popular Ford newcomer overtakes Jeep in a key areaJeep, Dodge's parent, has no solution for this emerging problemGeneral Motors makes a $4 billion tariff move The company reported total sales of 293,225 vehicles in the first three months of the year. "With the new automotive sector tariffs now in effect, it will take our collective resilience and discipline to push through this challenging time," Filosa said recently. "But we will quickly adapt to these policy changes and will protect our company, maintain our competitive edge, and continue delivering great products to our customers."
