The project consists in the realization of the new iGuzzini Showroom in Via Brera, 5, Milan. The entrance from Via Brera gives access to a large hall, where the furnishing elements have been specifically designed. From the hall, you can access the meeting rooms and the office areas. With the new wooden and resin staircase, you have access to the floor at an altitude of +1.20 where the operating offices are located. In the bassement, a large lounge to be equipped for events and conferences for about 90 people, is directly connected to the bar. Through this connection element, one can reach the Light Experience installation, where the light experiments are located. “Imagine a space fluid as light. Imagine a space designed through a continous dialog between the various dimensions of natural, artificial, reflected, linear and punctual light. Contain and narrate light through space. Contain and narrate space through light. This space takes the nature of a sequence of definite spaces that are thresholds for light, the Gate. They bring us to various worlds, they define the perspectives of connection between the diverse types of spaces and values belonging to iGuzzini light, they make us understand how light is grammar, semantics, language."
