Wonderland: The New Creative Hub in the Heart of Lugano
Here is the translation of the text into English, maintaining a professional, dynamic, and polished tone suitable for a website:
In the beating heart of Lugano, a new benchmark for creativity, innovation, and design is born: Wonderland powered by BMSuisse. A dynamic and visionary hub conceived as an inspiring, out-of-the-box space where ideas take shape.
The design and art direction of this extraordinary space were curated by the prestigious Studio Rizoma, which successfully outlined a unique, avant-garde concept. The internal executive design and all the complex engineering of the elements were instead entrusted to the talent and experience of our valuable collaborator, Piergianni Martinelli.
At BMitalia, as a trusted excellence partner in bespoke furniture design and manufacturing, we are proud to have transformed this extraordinary vision into reality. We translated Wonderland’s design concept into unique custom-made furnishings, where material research, upcycling, and technological innovation merge in perfect sartorial balance.
Our contribution focused on the creation of key elements that define the hub’s visual identity while ensuring sustainability and functionality.
The Entrance Desk
A true material statement that welcomes visitors by blending natural elements with high-end industrial details.
- 3D Printing :A recessed niche houses an elegant structure entirely produced through 3D printing in a bold purple shade, creating a magnetic contrast with the metal surfaces.
- Finishes : The top and edges are crafted in satin stainless steel, alternating with premium satin stainless steel-effect laminate from the SM’art Metal Collection, while the plinth echoes the same satin stainless steel finish.
- Green & Tech Elements : The desk integrates a planter clad in refined ribbed metal paneling.
The 500 kg Suspended Dome
Firmly anchored to the ceiling, we installed a majestic suspended structure representing the core of the hub’s ecological approach.
This impressive 500 kg dome was created by repurposing the shell of a real steel tank (100% recycled material), later lacquered to achieve its final finish. This remarkable piece of industrial archaeology has been transformed into a design feature equipped with a perimeter rail for curtain installation.
Inside, a metal circular frame with a 10x10 mesh supports a dramatic stabilized vegetation composition, enhancing the dialogue between reclaimed metal and nature.
The Cylindrical Nook with Integrated Seating and Table
An island of privacy, comfort, and geometric design, conceived for micro-meetings or moments of focused work.
- External Shell : A visually striking cylindrical structure in satin stainless steel or stainless steel-effect laminate, accessible via brushed stainless steel checker-plate steps.
- Interior Comfort : The internal walls are lined with stain-resistant, fire-retardant felt, while the seating is upholstered in soft bouclé fabric for enhanced tactile comfort.
- The Table : A powder-coated metal structure topped with terrazzo-effect quartzite.
- Integrated Technology : The entire unit is fully wired, with integrated lighting and power outlets built directly into the seating.
Display Structures and Base Cabinet
A storage and display system featuring a robust sculpted carcass with lacquered finish.
The top surfaces and shelving are finished in lacquer or laminate, all supported by a lightweight yet durable powder-coated metal frame with integrated LED lighting systems.
Technical Wall Paneling and Fitted Walls in ALPI Wood
For the cladding of the main walls, we selected deeply textured ALPI WOOD panels.
The clean architectural aesthetic is enhanced by flush-mounted double swing doors providing access to service areas, alongside a push-pull concealed door designed to discreetly hide the electrical panel.
The design is completed with coordinated metal skirting and handles.
Office Partition Wall
Mirrored Glass Panels : A large mirrored glass partition framed by metallic profiles in an exclusive champagne finish, complete with a matching hinged door, coordinated handle, and lock.
