This building houses activities of selling electric domestic appliances and electronic and lighting apparatus. It is organised into spaces of retail/wholesale outlets and warehouses. The main structure and the curtain wall panels are in prefabricated reinforced concrete. On three sides there is a 3 metre deep cantilevered projection that supports blue micro-perforated panelling which designs an undulating crowning part that “breaks” the inevitable horizontality of the prefabricated structure. The two opposite copings, on the east and west sides, are supported by a series of Z-shaped pillars. The continuous “hard” and toneless base of the light-grey sandblasted curtain wall panels is contrasted by the lightness and blue colour of the cantilever and the deliberately anomalous and designed “string” of the Z-shaped pillars. At the south-west corner a reticulated steel structure faced in identical blue grille panelling bears the Company trademark in a tower-totem.
