Bespoke: size, colour, finish
Fitting out an Indian office floor usually means three vendors: one for seating, one for tables, one for storage — three languages that never quite agree. Lapalma's answer carries one name: ADD SYSTEM, the programme that unites the modular seating, the ADD T tables and the ADD S cabinets in a single philosophy. The manufacturer calls its goal customising industrial production — a thoroughly Italian ambition delivered at floor scale.
Everything speaks the grammar drawn by Francesco Rota: extruded aluminium frames, die-cast legs in recycled aluminium, benches from a 59 cm square to 176 cm, square islands of 117 × 117, tables whose legs join adjacent frames, double-sided metal cabinets in three heights. Cushions and backrests are flame-retardant with fully removable covers in fabric, leather or eco-leather.
The deep ADD SOFT and the new ADD LOUNGE armchair extend the range towards reception and executive corners. La Mercanti engineers the whole floor on your plan — waiting, working, storing — and confirms dimensions and dates in writing with the order.
