Office

The magical atmosphere of Venice, with its stunning transparencies and colours, was the main inspiration for the concept of this project, whose aim was to combine the functionality of an efficient workplace with a certain “dreamy” mood of the space in general, which is kaleidoscopic and unexpected.

Coherently with the desires of the Client in the office there is a wide operative space and some smaller places for the meetings and the relax.

The operative space, almost “nordic” in its clear geometry (highlighted by using cold and saturated colours) is counterposed to the break area, whose lively atmosphere - characterised by the wall made of coloured bottles - ironically recalls the typical tradition of the Murano art glass.

Even the corridors are involved in this game of light, reflections and shimmering images: the walls are covered with a special boiserie made with plenty of mirrored bubbles, which refracts the surrounding space like a kaleidoscope and subtly evoke the trembling effect of the buildings reflections on the water.
