In 1974 the largest Italian publishing group Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A moved into its new head office in Milan.

Futuristic at the time, fifty years later, the building today is a spectacular monument and one of the most fully developed designs by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. The set-up: 1500 USM Haller workstations were the perfect complement to this new vision of the future. Nine months before opening, Italian fashion bible "Grazia" published a lavish photo spread. In the hyper-modern working environment, the latest fashion was like a sales agent.
