The elegance of the L213 armchairs serves the new Deloitte headquarters in Bari
A total investment of 75 million euros has gone into Deloitte’s new headquarters in Bari—already a key hub for the digital transition in Southern Italy and the wider country. It will soon be joined by an advanced centre dedicated to artificial intelligence
A new landmark supporting the digital transition of South Italy and the entire nation. Located at the Fiera del Levante, in Bari, the research and development centre of Deloitte – a leader in professional services to companies – was created from the renovation of the historic pavilions. The hub is the outcome of a 50 million euro investment, supplemented by another 25 million euros dedicated to establishing the upcoming artificial intelligence centre, a technological hub designed to transform essential business processes for companies.
The renovation of the public building – guided by principles of environmental sustainability and focused on enhancing historical elements while creating a stimulating, cutting-edge work environment – has revitalised part of the Apulian capital. It now offers the community a business incubator that supports the growth of new enterprises in logistics, sustainable mobility, and the space economy. The research and development centre, recently inaugurated based on a project by Esseelle Associati, covers an area of 9,000 square metres and houses 1200 workstations, as well as smart rooms, meeting spaces and a large auditorium.
Refinement, attention to detail, and the essential design of the 200 L213 – R&D LAMM armchairs make an important contribution to the creation of an elegant and lively ambience. Chosen in the version with a straight side and anti-panic tablet, the seats are installed in the auditorium in straight rows on stepped tiers with a centre-to-centre spacing of 55 cm. The green faux leather upholstery stands out among the wood tones of the panelling. The structure is embellished with bronze-coloured paint. The coordinated inclination of seat and backrest makes the seats extremely comfortable, even during extended use.
