Besides receiving many international honors, since 2019 the Atelier office furnishing system, based on collaboration between Fantoni and Gensler as product design consultant, demonstrates its functional longevity in the contexts most fully characterized by flexibility and innovation, teamwork and adaptation to constant changes in our rhythms and modes of work.
With the same ‘adaptive’ approach, Fantoni conducts ongoing research not only on furnishing systems, but also on materials and the quality of surfaces. The new Onegloss finish, developed to improve the performance of the surfaces of all the Fantoni office collections, is an innovative material solution that combines excellent qualities with refined looks.
Onegloss has a soft touch effect, sheds fingerprints and is non-reflective, with an intense matte finish that makes it waterproof and refined. It is 100% recyclable, made with procedures that in the perspective of the circular economy reduce environmental impact and improve the use of resources in the cycle of production, consumption and use.

Onegloss also brings out the best of Atelier, a modular furnishing system that fulfills multiple functions connected with space and various individual and teamwork activities. Atelier creates a true ‘landscape’ for offices, in which the shelving-storage system is the key architectural element, around which to freely arrange tables, cabinets and pinboards.
Custom designed and totally personalized for the open spaces of the European headquarters of Gensler built in London in 2019, the system has a modular structure that easily adapts to technological innovation and the needs of constantly evolving workspaces.

The composite scheme for simple reconfiguration is organized in workstations for individual activities, collaboration tables and multifunctional touchdown tables at a height of 105 cm, ideal for shared and informal working; a family of dynamic cabinets, and a pinboard attached to the tubular metal structure of the bookcase, or of a unit on wheels. An extremely versatile solution that makes it possible to hold meetings anywhere, with images, documents, material samples and other resources constantly within reach.
