INTERIOR DESIGN

When a major pharmaceutical group asked us to design interiors for a number of its European offices, we wanted to reflect local environments as well as company values.

For the UK site, we developed a colour palette and finishes that implied precision, reliability and quality. Carpets and partition glazing in the main office areas incorporated the DNA double helix, and walls were subtly printed with group values in proverb form.

The open plan Portuguese offices needed dividing but the air conditioning system precluded solid partitions. Inspired by the Portuguese climate, we devised partitions made of giant, white Roman blinds which gently move in the breeze, diffusing sunlight and reflecting it around the space.
