The versatility of large-format slabs by Iris Ceramica enables applications across all uses, both public and private. Among these, multifunctional spaces and offices pose an ongoing design challenge, given the number of requirements and changes that overlap during construction. The creation of the new offices of Università Telematica Pegaso at Naples’ Centro Direzionale, designed by architect De Rosa, lasted nearly two years and was executed efficiently and coherently, also thanks to the use of technical ceramic surfaces. The project went beyond a simple refurbishment to preserve a unified character across seven floors of approximately 500 m² each, with specific functions and updates made along the way. The 21st floor, reserved for the presidency and general management, was set apart with a more representative tone: not just offices but hospitality and reception areas, including an entrance bar and a kitchen with a dining table to facilitate informal meetings. In the common areas and main circulation routes, large slabs were used as continuous cladding to ensure visual homogeneity, reduce grout interruptions, and enhance the sense of spaciousness. In most rooms, ceramic surfaces were also selected for flooring, emphasising robustness, easy maintenance, and chromatic uniformity. The custom cutting flexibility of the slabs solved technical junctions, service integrations, and details on pillars, lifts, and architectural screens—results otherwise hard to achieve. In restrooms and selected representative zones, artisan-inspired decorations with neutral nuances contribute to a contemporary language that recalls post-industrial atmospheres, making spaces distinctive without sacrificing restraint. Choosing Iris Ceramica is not merely aesthetic: it stands for reliable use, technical performance, and environmental responsibility throughout the material’s life cycle. A balance of design, durability, and sustainability that ensured the consistent identity required across all spaces, with high, long-lasting quality standards.
