Luxottica making the right moves

Luxottica's modern, open-plan Hammersmith offices couldn't be much further removed from its previous unit abutting London's busy North Circular in Neasden.

The new premises, with a slick reception area, impressive showroom and uncluttered space, are handily placed next door to an Italian restaurant and are described by managing director UK and Ireland Andrea Dorigo as a physical manifestation of a friendlier, more customer-centred service provider.

The space was thought out from a blank page in terms of needs and is more fitting for the UK headquarters of the biggest fashion eyewear supplier in the world and its sister company Sunglass Hut.
