In 1974 the Italian designer Enzo Mari published “Autoprogettazione?” (Self-designed?), a design handbook promoting self-built wooden furniture with the cheapest and easiest-to-find wooden pieces available on the market. The builder-designer was required to have only a hammer and nails to build his objects.

Our proposal is based on Mari’s project, embracing the opportunity to recycle the big quantity of reclaimed wood in possession of the company.

This type of furniture, combined with vintage pieces, gives the internal space the look of a building workshop, in line with the company's activities.
The finishings of the floors (brushed concrete) and walls (white plaster) are designed to give maximum emphasis to the wooden furniture and the light in the room.



The project focuses on the reception-workstation area. The main idea is to reduce utility space (mostly storage) to increase the customer and working space.

Our project aims to create an unique main room that will host both customers and employees. The reception includes the table with 3 workstations blurring the labels of function in name of an overall work-in-progress atmosphere.

The conference room is separated from the workspace with a foldable glazed wall, this allows to create an extra working room while no meetings are scheduled.

3 offices create a median “strip” dividing the working areas from all the other services located on the back.

The main room is provided also with two relax areas with tables and sofas, as required from the project brief.
