The redesign project for the Amsterdam office of the advertising company of JWT has resulted in the creation of an exciting office environment. The intent, and in fact the motto of the design by Alrik Koudenburg in collaboration with RJW Elsinga, is to ‘seriously surprise’. And seriously surprise it does, through a series of individual spaces which encourage the fortunate staff to ‘Think Seriously!’
In a space of almost 2.000 sq.m., the office is defined by three specific environments of Think, Make and Do. Think is a space for inspiration, a library in a garden where ideas can take root. Do is an area for organization and realization of ideas and Make is a happy space, full of creativity and colorful comic strip pop art.
The fantastic details include robot shaped store cupboards, tree sculptures, a bunny shelf to hold awards and a quartet of fun face shaped Nemo chairs by Driade, and not forgetting chill out spaces and a communal cafe, which as a whole make for an effective, interactive work environment.
