MOTOROLA
European Consumer Design Center
Milan - Italy
2001



This Design Center was devised for Motorola as their European Consumer Design Center. Located in a historic industrial site, this office constituted the largest Design studio outside of the Motorola home base in Chicago.
In order to respect the industrial shell and preserve the historic buildings perimeter and ceiling, Studio Powers decision was to create a simple, strong central element which contained all storage needs, meeting and break areas, mechanical and electrical services and as well as project areas. This micro-architecture was constructed in steel, and clad in tinted ash veneered plywood.
Custom furniture and lighting elements were developed with Unifor, Staverton and Flos.
