The refurnishing of the 50 m2 meeting room takes its point of departure in the centrally placed ceiling painting from the 1940s, but otherwise totally transforms the space. The floor is covered with a specially produced carpet (one-off work) in light blue and beige, whose only recognizable pattern unit mimes the carved panelling under the windows of the room. The walls are acoustically regulated and coloured with pastels with a slightly ‘shot’ effect, and instead of the portraits that formerly made up the wall decoration of the room, tapestries of woven steel filters are now hung, producing interference patterns both in daylight and when the light behind them is on. The result is a space that is constantly transformed by the changing of the light – echoing the rhythms of the days and the seasons, or determined by the setting chosen for the electric light, which is adjustable both in the ceiling and behind the steel tapestries. In the reception room of the headquarters all the elements are new: flooring, furniture, lighting and the large glass wall throughout the length of the room, where the light in the optical fibres changes colour in the course of the day.
