The collaboration between Saglietti Group and
Albertengo Panettoni was born in 2016, when two family businesses rooted in artisan tradition met: us with decades of experience in carpentry and them with nearly two centuries of history in the confectionery industry. The bond between our companies is based on shared values: respect for tradition, attention to detail and passion for quality. Thanks to this synergy, each project becomes not just a functional intervention, but a true
custom design experience.
Meeting room and showroom: the first step in a long collaboration
The first assignment involved the transformation of a 46-square-meter room into a meeting room/showroom. The main challenge? To integrate
40 linear meters of brushed ash shelves with concealed structure and integrated LED lighting, ensuring aesthetics and functionality. Using modular solutions and concealed systems, each element was designed to be flexible, stable, and adaptable-a perfect example of how bespoke design and handcrafted engineering can coexist without compromise.
The corporate heart: indoor museum and dynamic woodwork
Between 2018 and 2019, we designed the
Albertengo Corporate Museum, a
245-square-meter space designed to tell the story of the brand.
- Dynamic boiserie: open panels and niches, some furniture and lacquered in red and gold, with matte print inspired by packaging snowflakes.
- Corporate plastic: central table with glass case and integrated lighting, ready to grow in 2025 to support the company's expansion.
- Modular solutions: self-supporting wood and glass portals, inspectable platforms and easily upgradable graphics, demonstrating flexibility and durability over time.
Integrated space management enabled the creation of functional and aesthetically consistent environments,
combining tradition and innovation.
Executive offices: elegance and functionality
Massimo and Livia Albertengo's offices combine refined aesthetics and tailored solutions:
- Administration office: 8 desks and 6 cabinets with double sliding doors, modular partitions to create a cafeteria area without masonry work.
- Maximum's office: furniture on wheels, storage wall with integration of pillar and heating carrier, work surface optimization.
- Livia's office: custom slanted desk for slanted wall, glass writing insert, stylistic continuity with burgundy color details to stand out from Massimo's green office.
Each design choice was guided by functionality, aesthetic harmony, and future flexibility, demonstrating the effectiveness of
modular design and
custom craftsmanship.
Innovation and flexibility: from point of sale to graphics Baj Milan
In 2023, the acquisition of the historical brand
Baj Milan brought new challenges: the opaque graphics on the glazing and paneling were updated without replacing the modular panels, highlighting the durability and adaptability of our systems. Thanks to the modular design, each element can be easily disassembled, repainted and updated, ensuring
aesthetic and functional continuity in future projects.
A partnership that grows over time
From 2016 to the present, the journey with Albertengo has shown how craftsmanship, modularity, and bespoke design can transform complex challenges into elegant and enduring solutions. Each project tells a story: from a meeting room to a museum, from executive offices to an interior retail outlet, with attention to detail and integrated functionality. This collaboration demonstrates how family businesses with shared values can create
unique spaces, strengthening the link between
design, history and innovation.
