WHERE WORK MEETS PLAY

This project marked the first commercial design undertaken by the studio, presenting new design opportunities. Our client, the creative agency PLAYGROUND, are driven to inspire and challenge their clients. Their dynamic mission statement set the tone for the brief, which was to create a client-facing set of spaces that would upend the preconceived notions of a typical office fit-out.

WE WANTED TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF US AS A CREATIVE STUDIO.
A PLACE WITH A STRONG DESIGN AESTHETIC AND UNEXPECTED MOMENTS OF CREATIVITY.

In the client lounge a Jan Ekselius Etcetera Lounge Chair reinforces Playground’s playful approach as does the mixed and matched collection of chairs in the boardroom. 

A CLIENT RECENTLY WALKED INTO THE NEW SPACE AND ASKED IF IT WAS MY OWN HOME. HIS OBSERVATION AFFIRMS THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED THE DESIRED RESULT. SIMONE AND THE TEAM PUSHED ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, SUGGESTING PIECES THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE SELECTED INDIVIDUALLY, YET THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER. THEY DEFINITELY HAVE A FUTURE IN WORKPLACE DESIGN.
