pretty damn cool, huh? kinda makes you even less thrilled (if that's possible) to drag yourself to the office tomorrow... sorry.
design-wise, i'm fond of the heavy use of art and industrial designs in the space. i saw matte-black bikes on walls, totem-like objects d'art in halls, as well as a whole wall of vintage radioes on display. further, halogen lights (like the kind you have at home) are interspersed throughout. and the curved-back sofa & coffeetable/conference area??! my my my...
a relatively recent trend in office design is the push for residential materiality and ambiance. rather than create an environment of laziness and inefficiency, the thinking behind this is simple: make the space comfortable and people will stay there longer. longer time in the office=more work achieved. it does a helluva lot for employee satisfaction and reduced turnover as well, i'm sure.
either way, i called a graphic designer friend immediately after my tour and forced him to submit his resume... live vicariously much?
