City of Tokyo
Giugiaro’s first architectural commission

BRAND: City of Tokyo
MODEL: Multimedia Library Tokyo
YEAR: 2001
CATEGORY: Public building
DESIGNER: Fabrizio Giugiaro
This multimedia library is equipped with state-of-the art video devices. The choice of materials has been carried out respecting the surrounding environment in order to integrate the library within the overall architecture of the building. Therefore, original materials such as glass, steel and wood, softened by bright and coloured rug textiles, have been used both for seats and sofas. In particular, the materials have not undergone any colour or enamelling process.
