    LSM

At 30 Hudson Yards, Molteni Group returns to work with Covington & Burling, furnishing the American law firm's New York offices through UniFor, the Group's company dedicated to workplace design. Conceived with interior architecture by LSM, the project continues a relationship that has already shaped the firm's offices in Washington, Brussels and London — a dialogue built on design continuity, executional precision and a shared vision of the contemporary workplace.

Occupying five floors, from the 46th to the 50th, the offices bring together private studies, lounge areas, communal spaces, reception desks and meeting rooms in interiors defined by extensive glazing and abundant natural light. Bespoke solutions and collection products alike were adapted to the specific requirements of the project.

A shared language unites the different areas through the Andromeda collection, designed by LSM for UniFor. Its polished aluminum structures return in tables, credenzas, and linear and curved sofas, echoed by the profiles of the RP partition walls designed by Renzo Piano, representing a thread of visual coherence that runs through the entire project.

In the lounge and meeting areas, tables, coffee tables and sideboards introduce a rich material palette: black Picasso marble, back-painted glass, leather and fabric upholstery. Here, the Round D.154.5 armchair by Gio Ponti, an icon of the Molteni&C Heritage Collection, brings a note of domestic warmth, uniting the material cultures of the companies of the Molteni Group.

For partners and associates, the private offices are developed entirely to measure, following the building's floor plan and the different ways of working within the firm. Timber paneling, integrated storage, wardrobes, shelving, drawer units and electrically height-adjustable worktops compose a coordinated system in which technology and craftsmanship coexist.

By contribution to the  Qatar National Library in Doha, designed by OMA, UniFor is part of the realization of a major cultural and research institution within Education City. Conceived as an open and unified environment, the building integrates knowledge, community, and technology, translating the evolving role of the library into a flexible, multi-use space.

 

Organized as a single, continuous space of approximately 45,000 square meters, the building is defined by a stepped configuration that ensures full visual continuity. Large corrugated glass façades allow natural light to penetrate deeply into the interior, reinforcing spatial clarity and enabling visitors to perceive the library as a unified landscape.
