Recent Works

Sealed is an updated wall partitioning module project that applies entirely to modern architectural projects. Sealed is a workspace division system that may be used to satisfy current space division needs and future expansion or reuse. The core elements of the Sealed series, particularly its modular form and free-standing metal frame, its capacity to support a wide range of accessories, and the design’s compatibility with other Citterio products, have helped to accomplish these traits. The ease of installation and takedown of the Sealed range and its ability to meet a wide range of purposes and quality criteria thanks to its double panels and spacers are also noteworthy.
