Customized meeting rooms for institutions and companies
Designing an institutional meeting room means finding a precise balance between representation, functionality and durability. It is not just a matter of furnishing a space, but of translating the identity of an entity or company into an environment capable of accommodating decision-making, discussion and future vision.
For Saglietti Group, which specializes in the design and creation of custom-made furniture for offices, executive spaces and institutional environments, each project is born from careful listening to needs and developed through an integrated process that combines design, engineering and production.
ACA Alba: identity, territory and representation
The design of the new meeting rooms of theAlba Merchants Association (ACA) fits into the institutional heart of the city of Alba. Founded in 1945, ACA today represents more than 2,700 businesses in commerce, tourism and services and is a point of reference for the economic and social development of Alba, Langhe and Roero.
After the restyling of theAlba Tourist Office, this new assignment represented another step in an ongoing dialogue with the territory: the request was clear from the beginning, to create two representative meeting rooms, elegant but measured, authoritative but never ostentatious, capable of lasting in both aesthetic and technological terms.
An integrated institutional interior design project
The rooms on the completely new fifth floor were conceived as executive spaces with high functional content. The project required an integrated approach: custom-made furniture, technological systems, materials and finishes had to dialogue seamlessly. The design followed a precise logic: make the value visible, the technology invisible. Everything needed to be there, but without ever disturbing the formal cleanliness of the spaces.
The meeting table as the technological heart of the space
In the main hall, the centerpiece is a large 4.80 × 2.40-meter custom-made meeting table designed to seat up to twenty people. The anthracite lacquered wood base dialogues with an iron support structure, while the painted natural oak top restores warmth and visual solidity. The real complexity of the design is hidden inside: the table integrates advanced electrical and audiovisual systems, which are completely concealed. Six wooden top-accesses have been inserted into the top, a refined choice that surpasses the standard metal solution, already prepared for electrical outlets, USB and audio-video wiring.
Each element is accessible and upgradeable, but never invasive to the overall aesthetic.
Equipped paneling and invisible installations
The table dialogues with a custom-made 2.70-meter-high paneling, designed to accommodate a 100-inch monitor and conceal all technical components: dedicated PCs, cabling, connections, and management systems.
The lower panels are fully serviceable, allowing future maintenance and upgrades without invasive intervention. The connection between the table and the wall is provided by an electrical system on the floor prepared by the company. Saglietti Group intervened by precisely reopening the portions necessary for the passage of cables, ensuring continuity between infrastructure and furniture.
The result is a technological system designed for today but engineered to adapt to tomorrow’s needs.
Two rooms, one design consistency
The second, more intimate room houses a 140-cm round table made with the same construction logic as the main room: anthracite lacquer, natural oak and iron frame. Completing the room is a custom-made storage cabinet, essential and functional. The visual coherence between the two spaces is reinforced by the choice of wallpaper, with a pattern inspired by nature, capable of creating depth, visual comfort and a discreet link with the Langhe territory.
Integrated design and technical coordination
The success of the project was possible thanks to close collaboration among all the figures involved. Interior designer Elisa Mondino oversaw the construction management, ensuring consistency among the workers and adherence to timelines in a context as delicate as a fully operational historic building.
The engineering of the load-bearing furnishings was taken care of by designer Davide Di Polito, whose work enabled flawless integration of the systems. The clarity of the steps and the precision of the arrangements were also appreciated during installation by the electricians, confirming a project designed to really work.
A project designed to last
Today, ACA ‘s meeting rooms are representative, balanced and technologically advanced spaces. The quality of materials, hidden engineering and the possibility of continuous inspection and updating make these rooms ready to evolve over time, without losing aesthetic coherence.
They are spaces that tell the identity of a historic institution, but more importantly, they are designed to accompany its future.

From December 4, 2025 to January 4, 2026, Intelligènzæ, a multimedia and interactive exhibition that takes the public on a journey through neuroscience, evolutionary biology, animal, plant and digital intelligence, comes to life in the spaces of the State Archives of Turin. The itinerary, divided into eight rooms, combines scientific popularization with a strong narrative and scenographic framework, promoted by the Ferdinando Rossi School of Advanced Studies – UNITO and the Educating Future Citizens network under the patronage of the City of Turin. The project was developed by Taxi1729 in collaboration with researchers, scholars and designers from the world of science and design.
For Saglietti Group, experts in custom exhibits and displays, Intelligènzæ was a unique opportunity to transform abstract concepts into physical, playable and tangible devices, combining engineering, design and craftsmanship in every detail.
An immersive, technical and sartorial project
The exhibition itinerary is the result of collaboration with high-level interdisciplinary figures:
– Vincenzo Guarnieri, chemist and science communicator, who specializes in transforming complex content into comprehensible and engaging experiences.
– Stefano Grande, architect and founder of Arsenali Digitali, with experience in scientific exhibit design, lighting design and interactive space design.
– Diego Rizzuto, physicist, who helped make complex scientific concepts clear and enjoyable.
The teamwork enabled the integration of science, design and storytelling in a harmonious way, with a highly technical and tailoring approach.
Key elements of staging
Room 6 – The “T” of the ants
Central element dedicated to collective intelligence, made in three parts of 1 × 1.98 meters, 40 cm high. Tailored red faux leather upholstery, high-density sponge and technical tape handles ensure transportation, assembly and stability.
Room 7 – Shelves for “mindless” intelligences.
Shelves designed for plants, fungi, molds and microbes, with ayous frames and birch plywood tops. Distinctive detail: yellow passivated screws left exposed that become part of the visual language.
Room 8 – Esposit’s Cubotto
Modular interlocking mountable chairs, lightweight and stable, ideal for moments of pause and reflection, customizable according to the visual identity of the exhibition.
Red wire and 3D pin
A red thread guides visitors from one room to the next, made possible by custom-designed and engineered 3D-printed pins for strength and precision.
Other technical elements
Sloping shelves for joysticks, shelving for the Turing Test, bridging elements for the “rubber hand,” technical shelf for the projector: all custom-made following the exhibition’s narrative layout, ensuring visual and functional consistency.
Brandpathy: translating complex concepts into concrete experiences
The project demonstrates how Brandpatia ‘s philosophy can be applied to the scientific world as well: not just displays, but true sensory experiences that make abstract concepts immediately understandable and immersively engage the visitor.
Special thanks
Sincere thanks:
to Taxi1729, for trust and constant dialogue;
to our Exhibit Sales Manager Federico Verdi, for impeccable technical coordination;
to designer Davide Di Polito, who engineered the most complex elements, transforming concepts into fully functional objects.

The restyling of Libellula Srl ‘s offices transformed about 700 square meters of industrial warehouse into a fluid, bright and tailored space, capable of telling the company’s identity through carefully designed proportions, materials and details.
Located in Cherasco, Libellula Srl is an international company in the development of software for sheet metal working and digitization of business processes, present in Europe, Asia, South America and the United States. The project perfectly reflects the concept of “Human Centric Innovation” in which technology, people and the future dialogue in a single language.
A project of synergy and shared creativity
The project was the result of collaboration with Studio QBO Architetti Associati in particular Caterina Ceresa and Roberto Cugnidoro, with whom an open and constructive dialogue was established. The architects were given complete creative freedom in reinterpreting the two floors of the corporate headquarters, while Saglietti Group translated the vision into concrete reality by engineering each element to ensure functionality, durability and consistency with the logic of furnishing and assembly.
This collaboration highlights our approach: dialogue, trust and mutual listening between designer and manufacturer, to create spaces that reflect the client’s identity.
Tailored materials, details and spaces
Each element of the furniture is designed to embody the values of innovation, transparency and collaboration:
– White lacquered wood: brightness and clean lines;
– Oak veneer: warmth and naturalness;
– Glass: transparency and openness, also used in the executive tables.
Interesting achievements include curved glass walls made from straight modules that create a harmonious visual effect, and daisy-chained workstations that encourage collaboration and flexibility. Suspended drawer units and custom handles with the Libellula symbol in red and gray add recognition and warmth to the rooms.
Brandpathy: when furniture tells the customer’s identity
This project is the perfect example of our Brandpatia philosophy: understanding the customer’s values and translating them into sensory experiences and identity spaces, where those who inhabit them recognize themselves and move naturally. It is not just about furniture, but spaces that tell the story and values of the company.
Special thanks
Heartfelt thanks:
to the ownership of Libellula Srl for the trust and creative freedom granted;
to Studio QBO Architetti Associati, especially Caterina Ceresa and Roberto Cugnidoro, for design sensitivity and constant dialogue;
