Designed by Paolo Pampanoni and Pinuccio Borgonovo, CSS_VILLAGE is a comprehensive and modular system of self-supporting acoustic boxes which offer outstanding levels of flexibility and acoustic well-being thanks to the multitude of possible configurations. Like an architectural compound, organically built to accommodate the needs of a specific category of inhabitants, CSS_VILLAGE is a kind of city neighbourhood made up of glass cases with internal features, for meetings or individual work, as well as external features to open up to training activities and sociability. The design of CSS_VILLAGE shifts from product scale to the architecture scale, with logics of flexibility, variability and modularity.

Sound-absorbing fabric panels interspersed with transparent glass panes, are joined together by connectors equipped with high-tech pergolas to create microarchitectures where space and function come together and become one, giving rise to welcoming and inviting shared workspaces.
CSS_VILLAGE comprises an extensive and well-organised project where the logics of sustainability, the use of recycled materials and the ability to separate components at the end of the product’s useful life have guided every single technical and manufacturing decision, including that of using - for all upholstered products and acoustic panels - fabrics created with SEAQUAL® YARN: a top-quality 100% post-consumption recycled polyester yarn containing SEAQUAL® MARINE PLASTIC and therefore supporting the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, the unique collaborative community fighting plastic pollution in our seas.

The palette of colors and finishes selected for CSS_VILLAGE is warm and enveloping. Woods such as oak, sycamore and Canaletto walnut come together with brushed aluminium in a variety of shades to create warm and enveloping modern settings.
“A workplace must meet the specific needs of its occupants, adapting to the pace of everyday activities and providing people with the support tools they need. CSS_VILLAGE does just this, drawing on Citterio’s many years of experience in designing and manufacturing partitions and acoustic boxes, offering functional spaces tailored to specific needs while affording multiple usage methods”
Vittorio Veggetti, Citterio MD)
The concept of the booth was entrusted to the brand’s art directors, Marco Maturo and Alessio Roscini from Studio Klass.
