The Idea
The belief that the working spaces of a software company, which designs programs for the fashion world, has to distinguish itself from other types of offices (lawyers, engineers, etc.), was the leading idea of the whole project. So, how turn an anonymous space in a challenging and dynamic office, where he is “pleasant to stay”?
The Communication
For the budget allowed almost exclusively the purchase of furnishing, it was decided to make only the absolutely necessary masonry works and to focus on the functionality of the furniture, their distribution and the communication of the company's image. The result is a contemporary and international looking, where the "public areas" communicate a quiet informality, avoiding disorder.
The Mood
The reception, the inner distribution space and kitchen are characterized by the use of wallpaper with a colored stripes design, which gives an immediate sense of dynamism and comfort. As the colors are based on a standard system, is easy to create the same pattern through painting. In fact some office walls, the main inner space, and the relax room, were treated with the same logic, using one of the basic colors.
The Furnishings
The simplicity of the kitchen and the sitting area is expressed through the use of chairs with different colors and shapes but in agreement with each other, while a more rigorous approach was reserved for the offices with neutral colors like black, white and gray. Where possible, small areas with seating and low tables where play small meetings between colleagues or informal meetings, have been included . The furnishings have been carefully chosen to allow a high flexible composition and the ability to adapt to future changes.
The Services
The most important structural adjustment was the one regarding the bathroom. Positioned in the suggested place, it was designed according to current hygiene regulations, ensuring the easier use for disabled and customers, not forced to access in the spaces reserved to employees. It was also included an area to store food, tools and detergents for the kitchen, often overlooked but definitely essential.
