Artemide worked with Simon Siegel; founder of Atomic Interiors to create a lighting concept that would complement and enhance the architecture and Human experience of the building which is composed of three main elements: Offices, atrium space and warehouse.

Modern lobby with cylindrical ceiling spotlights, black track lights on mezzanine rail, and a two-tone reception desk on wood floor

Aesthetically, the concept achieves a blurring of the boundaries between the faculties of the business, something which the client was keen to achieve. Products that are typically monochrome and flat were given brushed texture and warm finishes normally found with the home. Atomic and Artemide worked to achieve a lighting scheme which does not determine any commodity areas. This was achieved by selecting only primary shapes, formats and a concise pallet of materials that would run throughout the building.
