IRI headquarters

Design in Lighting

IRI is an American company that brings innovation in Big Data worldwide, combining the world's largest data sets for sales, media, social media and loyalty cards with the aim of supporting operators in packaged consumer goods, Pharma (OTC) and media to grow their business. The company has inaugurated its new Milan headquarters. Located in Viale Cassala, one of the city's main arteries, the new headquartered has been completely reconfigured in terms of space, in order to facilitate today's hybrid working styles, with a new emphasis on shared areas destined for open office space and social areas.

A new, smarter and more agile way of working, geared to the exchange of ideas and information, not necessarily face-to-face but also virtually. With this in mind, Garibaldi Architects studio executed the fit-out and lighting design for the new IRI headquarters. Working areas that are well-defined and distinct, yet work in harmony, thanks to the use of natural materials such as wood and plants, colours, finishes and patterns that consider the wellbeing of the people who work in the building. And, last but not least, close attention to lighting. Alongside the natural light guaranteed by the large windows, there is a meticulous installation of professional and designer light fixtures which characterise the various areas.

For the lighting in the new IRI headquarters, Garibaldi Architects chose to rely on the solutions of Linea Light Group. The appliances installed ensure the correct amount of light and visual comfort in the different work spaces, while also adding a designer touch which enhances the entire project with modern, minimalist style. Like the Rollip60_MS system: linear, ceiling-mounted and with a professional office diffusor, installed in all offices thanks to its extreme versatility, which makes it a solution suitable for any space. And, to complete the effect Baton_Q ceiling-mounted spotlights, minimal and complementary, to guarantee precise lighting.In meeting rooms, a dynamic play on form and line is created by the circular Tour, rigorous and concise, with an aluminium body and a frosted glass diffusor with an internal power supply for LED SMD sources, giving warm, soft light and available in several versions (here the PD-pendal direct version of the C-ceiling was used), making this the ideal solution for any space requiring generous, even light.Also featuring in pendant version in the CEO's office, Tour was juxtaposed with Oxygen, the designer floor lamp by Stilnovo, whose shade features an OptiLight™ diffuser to guarantee precise, even lighting, both direct and indirect.
