The redesign of the Munich reinsurance company’s board rooms formed part of a general refurbishment scheme for the headquarters of this concern. The specially developed furnishings define a uniform standard that can nevertheless be adapted to individual needs. The brief required the retention of the glass partitions to the corridors in the roof ­storey of the refurbished 1970s’ concrete building. A free-standing, revolvable piece of furniture with various compartments takes the place of fitted wall cupboards, therefore. The dominant design element, however, is the large ceiling light, the irregular shape of which conceals a number of inspection flaps and ventilation openings in the soffit. This element also allows a zoning of the room into areas with different lighting intensities.
