The renovation of the spaces located in a building of the city centre, but constructed after the war, suggested a minimisation of the masonry interventions, emphasizing instead the features of the new usage through light and materials. In this way then the public areas – entrance, waiting room, corridor and meeting room – differentiate thanks to a punctual lighting with warm tones, whereas the offices are characterized with beams of neutral and continuous light along the upper side of the walls. The unitary quality of the whole is given by the elevated dark pavement, underneath where develops the thermal, electric and computer data system, and that extends vertically in the waiting room to host a picture portraying the Justice. The sketches of the same portrait and other paintings with neoclassical themes complete the walls of the public areas, whereas some furniture, such as the meeting table, are design and realized to measure contextually to the architectural project.
The conference table is a unique piece, purposely designed for the client and realized by craftsmen working with steel, wood and leather. The chance followed an interior design assignment (Studio B&C), where the client asked for a design piece for the meeting room: taking note that with the budget available for purchasing a medium/high product it would have been possible to design and realize a made to measure table, the opportunity was immediately grasped. The selected materials are consciously diverting from the transparencies and the high-tech styles that are dominating the catalogues, instead the stained steel and the leather, elements of matter, remind of ancient arts and crafts. Although, at the same time, the shape of the object composition is strongly contemporary, with thin surfaces and sharp edges that define the clear proportions between the base (650x325x650mm) and the plate (2600x1300x100mm), sustaining a 15mm thick MDF panel artificial leather-covered. The preference not to orientate towards a hi-tech style does not meant to overlook the technological contents since, thanks to the elevated pavement and the hollow post of the base, the electrical and computer network has different connections directly to the steel cut through the base, and even a serial or mass production could reduce the costs even more.
