Entry Description

Marazzi & Paul has designed and built the new EMEA logistics headquarters for 3M, in Langenthal, Switzerland. The 5,800 square meters building will host up to 350 employees in a space with state-of-the-art design and high technological and environmental standards.
The movement of the nearby trains and the dynamic lines of the rail track inspired the design of the facade. The façade is made of grey and red stripes of varying height that follow the length of windows on each floor. These tri-colored ceramic plates were custom-made for this building.
