A state-of-the-art ethos permeates the interior design of this new, high-tech bank, whose headquarters in Milan (equally impressive branches designed by the Libeskinds are located in Padova and Pisa). Combining classical and eco-friendly materials like wood and stone, the design of Banca Sistema addresses the most significant challenge that modern banking faces today: re-establishing a friendly relationship with visiting customers. Cutting-edge Cisco Systems technology allows for HD video conferencing with bankers at different locations and onsite computer interfaces are integrated into the architectural design. An aluminum sculpture symbolizing a digital network greets the bank’s clients at the entrance to each branch and has become a kind of logo for Banca Sistema.
