Concurso - Desall - Ferrero_Design the working break

What we are looking for

Ferrero invites the international community of Desall to suggest a new interior design project to furnish the rooms dedicated to the employees working on the production line, creating a space dedicated to relax, break and nourishing relationships among colleagues, where everyone may find the ideal place to refresh, relax and possibly have a snack before going back to work, with a project that may fully reflect the founding values of the group.

Guidelines

For the correct realisation of your proposals, keep into consideration the following guidelines:

Objective of the contest: your project shall include several furnishing elements and solutions able to adapt to the various dimensions of the relax rooms available inside the Ferrero facilities, in particular those rooms located next to the production lines, reserved to the line workers. The rooms shall contribute to improve the working environment, where every line worker might feel welcome and at ease, in a lively and cosy context.

Values to convey: the furnishing solution you are going to suggest shall reflect the Ferrero values and identity, that considers loyalty and trust, respect and responsibility, integrity and moderation, the founding values of the group. In addition, other very important values include passion for quality, research and innovation, that were embodied by a very successful entrepreneurial experience.

Project areas: even though there are numerous variants in the size and layout of the rooms, the

contest will take into consideration three main room typologies:

- Small room: maximum capacity 4 people, size 340 cm x 355 cm, height 300 cm, surface

area 12 m2

- Medium room: maximum capacity 8 people, size 370 cm x 670 cm, height 300 cm, surface

area 24.79 m2

- Large room: maximum capacity 12 people, size 440 cm x 770 cm, height 300 cm, surface

area 33.8 m2

Each room has at least two glass walls – one of which always facing the production line – and at

least one masonry wall. At your discretion you might evaluate whether to cover/coat/furnish the various walls as you prefer. Access to the room is provided through a door located on the glass wall facing the production line.

Given the great variety of the rooms available in the production site, keep into consideration that in

some cases rooms might exceed 300 cm height.

Room purpose: the rooms reserved to the Ferrero line workers will be mainly used for 10-15 minutes working breaks, during which every person will find the ideal place to relax, have some snacks, stay informed about contents and events concerning the company or to other contexts and to nourish relationships with the other colleagues.

Capacity: according to its size – small, medium, large – every room will have a capacity of 4, 8, 12

people respectively. The total number of line workers for each production unit amounts to about 50

people, who will take turns using the adjacent room for the working break throughout their working

shift.
