VIP Lounge & Work Area

Designed for Gaudio Spaziodesign, the new VIP Lounge & Work Area at Bari Airport is a contemporary retreat for travellers in transit, offering a comfortable place to work, relax or meet between flights.

The concept creates a direct connection with nature through natural materials, warm timber panelling, soft textiles and abundant greenery. Large windows with botanical patterns filter daylight and frame views of the runway while preserving privacy.

Lounge seating, work counters along the façade and a central bar are organised as a fluid sequence of zones, with custom upholstered elements by Max Divani. The result is a space that feels closer to a boutique hotel lobby than a traditional airport lounge, combining comfort, functionality and a sense of calm.
