The main purpose of this project is to provide a new interior design system to the CMC offices in Ravenna.

The project starts from the idea of communication, concept that reflects the ideology of productivity of CMC company, plus the component of interaction and social networking between its employees.

Now a days “communication” is one of the principal problems in the office. Computer, telephone, fax and all “communicative machines” are inserted in the “individual space cell” making a perfect environment to the ideal productive and concentrate worker; but in this case, this cell is providing good elements to work in a virtual net-community but is not creating social interaction and communication between the people that are working in the same place.

That’s why the project introduces the idea of a double high space structured by programmatic boxes, bridges, and a furniture system with open layout. These three elements defined the configuration of the space with visual communicative interaction between the people that are working inside the building.



The boxes hanged from the ceiling, represents the idea of transparent luminous lamps that are giving atmosphere and pleasure to the ones that are working above them. These boxes contained the program of meeting room and archive, programs that are related with the idea of communication and informative sources in the building. These boxes are connected one to the other with a system of semi-transparent bridges.



The first ground floor is structured in open space with a furniture system that provides multiple possibilities to the configuration of the space; that’s contemplated possible future growing of the CMC tree. This furniture system is designed with a modular hexagonal shape that simply represents how to grow or change the system in the interior space in a very flexible way.

Color has an important role in the project; strong colors are putted on the boxes and some of the walls of the space, realizing this idea of communication with a colorful strategy. Strong blues and oranges have been putted on the boxes creating a lively and contemplative atmosphere; yellow and red have been putted on the main core to introduce the sense of “location” inside the building. Finally a shiny wood surface has been putted on the floor to create a comfortable open work space and environment.
