Where We Work

This Ain’t No Disco

You work for them, they work for you – but what does the interior of some of the boldest companies look like? Is it as fancy as their work? Or just some plastic chairs and coffee mugs under neon lights?

Ian McCallum’s website ‘This ain’t no disco’ is devoted to sharing design office spaces and it gives you a sneak peek at the inside of the worlds most creative environments without ever having to leave your office chair.

Last year Ian invited us to submit our inner sanctum for his book ‘Where We Work -Creative Office Spaces’ showcasing forty-five offices where the pursuit of imagination is the driving force.

We were more than happy to oblige and provided him with some unseen material of our little island.

If you ever wanted to know where we work, we are now ready to lift the secret…

Get your own copy of the book HERE or take part in our lottery. We raffle 2 books amongst all who leave a comment.

Snow white space

Can I move in, please?!

There’s no reason why one should work in this building designed by Dasic Architects. Just some little accessoires and maybe a touch of colour and it could be a nice space to live. But there’s a snag to it, it’s located in Shinbashi,Tokyo.

Gigantic Rubberband

New Design Museum

Israeli furniture-designer Ron Arad is rounding on another milestone: At the beginning of february, he completed The Design Museum Holon / Israel, opening to the public in March 2010. The project was designed to grace a natural national postage stamp. Looking to create an icon for the city, while still providing a functioning museum space. The building looks like the love child of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim New York, and a Richard Serra sculpture. The corten steel ribbons surrounding the rectangular gallery spaces are as much sculpture as they are skin.

Ron Arad:

Since his career began in 1981, Ron Arad has exhibited at many major museums and galleries throughout the world. 2009 is a significant year for Arad with the completion of Design Museum Holon, an unprecedented turn out to his retrospective at Centre Pompidou in Paris and an exhibition in July at MoMA New York, which moves to the Stedelijkn Museum in Amsterdam.
