Tadao Ando Hall

The furniture in the entrance hall of the Ando Building on the Novartis Campus blends in with the language of the building between Richard Serra’s Dirk’s Pod and El Anatsui’s Tapestry. Three large carpets, hand-knotted by nomadic tribes in southern Persia, zone the entrance hall. On each of the three carpets are 4 armchairs and a table.
