About
Italian craftsmanship, built over generations.
Meet Luigi Vagnarelli, the craftsman behind LV Parquet.
Our Story
From Rome to Melbourne. A lifetime working with timber.
Luigi Vagnarelli is a third-generation flooring craftsman from Rome with more than 35 years of experience in timber flooring and parquetry.
Working independently in Italy from 1990, he developed his expertise in traditional floor restoration, intricate installations, custom colouring and decorative work incorporating brass, marble and stone.
Based in Australia since 2013, Luigi combines his Italian craftsmanship with extensive experience working on Australian homes and commercial projects.
Today, he brings that experience to LV Parquet in Melbourne, working on new timber floors, detailed parquetry and the restoration of existing surfaces.
Every project starts with understanding the floor and the space around it. Careful preparation, precise workmanship and an appropriate finish bring the result together.

What Drives Us
Our values.
Preserve character
Where restoration is practical, we work to retain the timber, detail and character that make an existing floor worth keeping.
Start with the foundations
Subfloor preparation and moisture assessment are essential parts of the work, even when they are hidden beneath the finished floor.
Respect your space
We plan the work carefully, protect surrounding areas and explain what to expect during the project.
Keep communication clear
We explain the proposed work, discuss timing and keep you informed as the project progresses.
How We Work

A beautiful floor starts long before the final coat. We tailor each stage to your timber, your space and the work required.
