Custom-made furniture for an innovative and inclusive educational hub
In the heart of
Cuneo,
urban regeneration promoted by the
CRC Foundation takes shape in the
Rondo dei Talenti, a
multifunctional building entirely dedicated to
personal growth,
inclusion and
training. For this space,
designed by Officina82 with
construction supervision by arch. Marco Oriani,
Saglietti Group made
all the custom supplies,
from the reception desk to the mobile furniture, interpreting with
precision and care the values of
accessibility,
participation and
creativity that animate the project.
A layout to serve the educational experience: from reception to laboratory areas: functionality and attention to detail
Front desk and reception area
The
ground floor opens with a
reception area featuring a prominent
Ayous/Obeche solid wood counter, made of more than
150 shaped and hand-applied strips, finished with
laser-etched lettering directly on the uneven surface. The structure integrates a
curved LED strip and a
shaped layered laminate top, ensuring a
distinctive and functional visual impact. Concealed cabinets with vertical battens flush with the wall and
custom-made mobile containers with wheels, optimized for visual merchandising, complete the environment.
Talent Zone and Free Space
At the heart of the
ground floor, spaces dedicated to
workshops and creative activities have been
furnished with CNC perforated panels for displaying materials,
modular billboard systems,
tablet holders, headphone holders, and
interactive notepads.
Countertops with a planked structure echo the
aesthetic language of the reception area, with
differentiated functions for staff and users.
A project that grows floor by floor: handcrafted and modular solutions for versatile environments
WOW Space
On the second floor, the
WOW Space houses a
bookcase-tree made of molded spruce plywood designed to
wrap around a central pillar.
Adhesive PVC ceiling graphics were precisely calibrated to
avoid interference with technical installations.
Curved plywood benches with faux leather seats and
colorful MDF storage units complete the environment.
The Chamber
In the adjacent
training room, a
bookcase with a reclining top and
slatted structure is flanked by
sound-absorbing caissons covered in cork or
chalkboard laminate, designed for
intensive and flexible use.
Plin Space
The second floor houses the
Plin Space, set up with the
Esposit line by
Saglietti Group:
interlocking wooden modular systems,
Tango birch tables,
Cubotto stools and
Scacco Matto partition modules, all designed to
be assembled and disassembled with ease, ideal for
ever-changing educational spaces.
City of Talents
Also on the second floor, a
child-friendly area houses melamine
pouf houses with colorful roofs,
chalkboard walls on wheels customized with the swallow symbol, and
flexible solutions for inclusive education.
Growing talents: design for education and guidance
Thematic cottages
The
third floor expands the
Talent City concept with
eight small houses dedicated to different types of intelligence. Structures made of
Swedish pine lath and colored fire-retardant MDF accommodate
custom tables,
cubes,
technology supports and
custom signage.
Skyline and iconic furnishings
A
skyline panel with shaped elements and an
integrated clock draws the
"imaginary city" that connects the two main rooms. The
graphic elements,
pantographed and
printed, are designed to
stimulate identification and discovery.
Relationship Space
On the highest level, an
event room with a rooftop terrace is furnished with a
circular pulpit made of curved, perfectly fitted
slats and a
matching counter. The space is arranged to
host conferences, meetings and workshops.
Collaboration, identity, future: an arrangement designed to evolve with the community
The project
Rondo of Talents represents a
concrete example of educational architecture in which
the layout is not merely a complement, but an
active tool for enjoyment. Thanks to the
synergy with architects Lara Sappa and Fabio Revetria (Officina82), with the
client Fondazione CRC, and with
professionals such as Giusti Eventi and Daniela Tini for
graphics and illustration,
Saglietti Group was able to fully express its approach:
listening,
precision,
craftsmanship and
attention to context.
