For the best part of 2009 we were extremely busy putting together our very first book, working closely with HarperCollins Publishers (US) to bring the project to life.

It’s been a blast, but needless to say - we’re now really pleased to see the book hit the international shelves for you to enjoy.

Introducing ‘Where We Work - Creative Office Spaces’

Showcasing forty-five of the world’s most extravagant and inspiring work environments from internationally acclaimed and recognized agencies within the advertising, media and design industry, Where We Work explores how creative agencies transform lifeless commercial spaces into bastions of creativity, offering inspiring interiors and visual insight into the breadth and depth of each agency’s thinking. Spaces that not only inspire, but invite us to re-evaluate our lives from nine to five.

To complement the visual showcase of interior design, Where We Work provides an in-depth look at the direction and thought processes behind each agency’s work environment, giving important insight into current and future trends of creative office interior design from some of the world’s most creative companies.

Whether the concepts are personal, indulgent or simply well thought out, Where We Work showcases a variety of offices where the pursuit of imagination is the driving force.

Comments
We think our studio is very special not just because it looks cool but because everything in it is carefully considered and has a story. We only purchase new items that are made from sustainable material (like our bamboo desks, Hermann Miller Mirra Chairs and the Vestfrost fridge which is the world’s most efficient), we try to buy second-hand whenever possible (designer pieces where possible of course, usually from our friend Ken Neale at 20th Century Modern) or more unusual pieces such as our ex-surgery task lights and ex-airline trolleys for storage) or simply do without (no planet-killing air-con/heating system or foosball tables here!)

We go with natural light and water based paint for our walls and bee waxed desks throughout to reduce toxicity (heaps of plants help too!) and even have a worm farm to minimise our waste. Our company bike fleet coupled with GoGet car share service means none of our employees drive to work. Finally, we try to remember that a studio is more than just the physical space, it’s about the people; which is why we do in-studio yoga and apply a chunky well-being budget each month to employee happiness (eat your heart out Bhutan!).
