The corporate identity concept for the German headquarters in a prime Frankfurt location was developed by Sassan Philipp Haschemi & Associates with a modern yet timeless design language. This high-quality environment inevitably includes the appropriate media and video conferencing technology, for which FORTÉ is responsible.

“Our aim was to make the invisible but lived philosophy of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP tangible with all the senses. The most important ambassadors for this are architecture, design and art, in short the entire visual environment, says Sassan Philipp Hashemi on the subject of interior design at the Frankfurt am Main location.

FORTÉ supported Wilkie Farr & Gallagher LLP with the technical planning and conception and was responsible for the complete implementation including the installation and commissioning on site in Frankfurt.

“In this project, the particular challenge for our specialist planners was to select media technology that was both visually discreet and very powerful. This is possible thanks to our many years of experience and broad access to premium manufacturers” says Tobias Enders, Managing Director of FORTÉ Germany GmbH.

High-quality yet discreet media technology was used to match the general customer environment. Holzmedia media steles were used for the perfect integration of furniture and technology. The colors of the media steles were matched to the CI concept.

The video conferencing systems from Cisco were selected to suit the different room sizes and complemented with microphones from Shure for perfect speech intelligibility. Speakers from the manufacturer Fohhn were used for the sound system. The media control was implemented using a system from Crestron. For the wireless transmission of presentations and collaboration applications, Mersive Solstice was included in the planning for the project in Frankfurt.
