Studio Legale Herbert Smith Freehills

New look for the prestigious headquarters of the Herbert Smith Freehills law firm located in the heart of Milan.
The project, entrusted to Cushman & Wakefield, combines the historical character of the building with the desire to obtain a contemporary and refined space that guarantees the well-being of the employees.
The reception area is the heart of the project. Behind the reception desk, sliding wooden panels with fixed and adjustable sunshades separate the internal environment from the building.
The Library-Lounge area, characterized by a domestic mood, is conceived as a single environment, but takes on a double function thanks to a large retractable sliding door, which divides the space defining the lounge area used by both customers and internal staff..
Wood is a characterizing element in the interior design also present on the cabinet doors and on the bookcases enriched by patterns in different essences. In the task area, consisting mainly of single and double offices, minimalism in design and technology prevails.
Every detail is in the name of ergonomics and environmental comfort. From metal suspended ceilings with integrated lighting, to acoustically performing partitions and double glazed doors, as well as to the selected high quality furnishings, supplied by Cardex: task chairs (Herman Miller), workstations (Estel), seating for meeting rooms ( La Palma), break area (Arper). In particular, the Dieffebi storage system guarantees functionality, good storage capacity and also a touch of biophilic design thanks to the possibility of integrating greenery into the furnishings.
