Get an exclusive peek into Campari Canada’s unique Palm Springs-meets-Italian Futurist office space in Liberty Village, designed by Toronto firm I-V. Campari Canada’s Managing Director Massimo Mottura and Azure Magazine’s Executive Editor Elizabeth Pagliacolo will join DesignTO in this tour of the company’s bold Canadian headquarters.

Campari Canada Headquarters took over its Liberty Village office in November 2015, after an eight-month renovation. What used to be an all-black movie studio is now a sparkling white showpiece, with four giant skylights that flood the space with natural light. The office has 40-foot-ceilings and a minimalist Palm Springs aesthetic combined with subtle Italian details. The result is a workspace that feels more like an art gallery than corporate HQ.
