The offices of the Italian lightening company are located in a spherical glass structure, wrapped in a special fabric solar protector and hanged from a complex central pillar, whereas the showroom and storage area is contained in a lower concrete base. In night-time the sphere turns on in an exciting light show. The multi-awarded building (Architizer A+ Awards - Winner 2013 //  WAF World Architecture Awards – Shortlisted 2012// Building of the year Archdaily - Winner 2011) has been completed in 2011.

The visit has been conducted by Silvia Brandi, project leader of this building in MiAS Architects and part of the IAAC Faculty.
