In the heart of Florence, a 15th-century masterpiece is infused with light and nature, breathing new life into its storied history. One of the city's most iconic palazzos starts a new chapter as HQ of an innovative Italian company. The project is respectfully steered by Milan-based Studio Blend, with a particular emphasis on lighting as a central feature.

Nestled among lush greenery, Arrangements creates a unique sculptural interplay of light and space. Super Line Pro and Taccia, on the other hand, integrate harmoniously into the palazzo, providing the light needed for its new context.

Studio Blend plays on the absence of windows in the Presidential Office with deliberately dramatic illumination. The Running Magnet provides architectural lighting both directly over the desk and indirectly toward the ceiling to illuminate the original frescoes, while Coordinates Floor and Taccia perfectly complement the overall design.
