Natural Office Fantoni® presented at the SaloneUfficio, International Biennial Workspace Exhibition, is the interpretation of work space according to Marco Viola’ s project, a perfect combination between acoustics, air-conditioning comfort and design.
The Natural Office Fantoni® concept represents the utmost in design expression of work space, overcomes the typical concept of closed space and becomes a bright place with glass walls, light which conveys harmony, painstaking care to wellness work, perfect air-conditioning and acoustics and wood as a natural element which intertwine with green, seating ergonomics; the right balance between technology and tradition which places mankind at the centre of the universe.
This is not an exhibition space but an architectural shape to live in, where projects are proposed and not products displayed, a threshold to cross and live, a place to meet to compare ideas and discover the qualities of Natural Office Fantoni®. A suggestion place, a dream which comes true and creates a philosophy: designing acoustic architectural objects within a frame of design furniture. New spaces which evoke emotions and overwhelm, fragments of a world which suddenly, as if magic, becomes familiar. A design path to be followed under the guide of Fantoni people through green and light to discover the main features of Natural Office Fantoni®: design, acoustics and air-conditioning comfort. The guest’s remarks on the walls will mark the end of this experience, building up a heritage of thoughts and feelings to share.
Fantoni group interpreted the concept of Natural Office using design elements with a strong technological impact, amongst which are the sound-absorption panels of Acoustic Panelling range and the sound-absorption and radiant Climacustic system. The combination of design and functionality, pure technology and pure nature is the consequence of the way of being of the group itself. The company’s campus in Osoppo – thanks also to the use of green elements both indoors and out – represents one of the best examples of Italian industrial architecture integrated into the surrounding landscape.
For many years, Fantoni has designed overall solutions for work spaces, in which furniture is just one of the elements, together with the acoustic and air-conditioning study intertwined with the study of the space partitioning with attention paid to the importance of natural and artificial light, a constant pursuit of natural office and well-being in office space.
