M17 – Welcome X

Welcome X is part of a series of Elements that inhabit and activate the renovated spaces of Palazzo Giureconsulti.

It belongs to a series of devices especially developed and designed for a project where single iconic elements are the only presence in the architectural space, with the specific role to concentrate all the functional and technical parts. Its movement follows different needs also introducing amazement and interaction to the visitor’s experience.

WX is a multifunctional desk for welcoming environments where innovation, discovering and adaptable design are fundamental. Characterised by an accurate construction engineering solution, it’s conceived as a monolite able to split in two parts. The upper part is a continuous interactive screen where the contents are displayed and shared with the visitors. The lower part is developed as a typical cabinet with drawers and storage space. 

The two stacked and pivoting volumes allow different configurations according to the use and the users. The anodised aluminum surfaces are finished with a pure orange mat lacquer, the upper volume’s digital top is equipped with four 55”inch screens.

Featuring an impressive technical research, Welcome X makes ample use of technology in an understated manner, ensuring the most flexible user experience.
