MetroOffice design the new production site of the Celine maison in Italy.
La Manufacture lays on the Tuscan hills and is divided into rigorous and elegant volumes that interpret its shape.
The building, with 5,200 square meters intended to accommodate 250 artisans, is located in Radda in Chianti, 50 km away from Florence.
The new building establishes a direct relationship with the Tuscan countryside: its facade's glass-block walls allow the artisans to enjoy the view of the landscape, receive indirect sunlight, and see the natural progression of the days and the seasons in the workspace.
This project has been longlisted in the business building category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
