STUDIO OUTPUT

When Studio Output first showed us their historic old factory building we knew there was an amazing space in there behind the 80’s call center partitions, and it
was up to us to find it.

Due to its listed nature, we worked sympathetically with the building to reveal and restore all the period features. Everything needed stripping out; walls floors and ceilings. New power and data was run throughout.

Budget was a key factor so we used simple clean desking combined with off the shelf lighting that we sprayed up to flash colour throughout the space.

We fitted reclaimed cladding and bespoke steelwork for the meeting spaces, and combined a bespoke table with sourced vintage school chairs.

The result was a light and airy space that’s a pleasure to work in.

MOTHER MEETING ROOM

A redundant kitchen space needed turning into a showcase meeting area.

We built bespoke glazed steelwork to separate this space off and yet keep it very much part of the Mother experience. All furniture and lighting was hand sourced by Jackdaw and restored and re-upholstered.

Used as an ideas generator and also for pitches and client meetings , this room has affectionately become known as the Greenhouse. What does every greenhouse need? The backend of an elephant of course!

We created a lifesize African elephant’s rear end to add some irreverence to the scheme. Happily she has now become part of the furniture and provides a constant source of elephant in the room jokes.

LBi EVENT SPACE

A versatile space for this international advertising agency’s 
entertainment area in the iconic Atlantis Building on Brick Lane.

Our scheme had to include breakout areas for clients, a refectory, a
night and day bar and private meeting spaces. All this had to be 
removable to open the space up for conferences and events including
the now infamous annual LBi Rave!

We created fabric lined alcoves for seclusion and privacy, mixing 
classic vintage pieces with bespoke furniture and hand spun lamps. 
We installed a walnut clad bar that worked for morning macchiatos
and nighttime cocktails, and created unique foldaway meeting rooms.

MOTHER CANTEEN

A versatile space for eating , events & meetings in this advertising agency.

The brief for this area of Mother’s space in the Biscuit building was to
create a large serving dresser and refectory tables for their canteen.

The Formica-clad tables and benches create a durable solution for
breakout meetings, events and lunches.

The dresser needed to be full of character and look as if it had always
been a part of the space, yet be able to take a beating from the day to day knockabout of a hungry agency.

This was achieved through building modern units with solid hardware,
which were clad in reclaimed timber and finished with a theatrical paint effect.

LUCY IN DISGUISE

A pop up vintage clothes store for Lily Allen in the heart of Covent Garden

Lily came to us to design a store to launch and sell her new vintage fashion range. Working to a very tight budget and timeline we had to create a fabulous showcase that included a VIP area, blow dry and cocktail bar and a SONY playstion sponsored area.

We mixed vintage pieces from different eras to locate the clothes, along with bespoke shopfitting, keeping a clean bright look to set off the collection.

It was the subject of a Channel 4 documentary and voted one of the best shops of 2010, making the cover of Time Out Magazine

SATURDAY GROUP

Refurbishment of the offices of this Fashion and Marketing Group.

A new Reception was created with white poured resin floors, built in storage and a sleek Corian desk set off against classic vintage pieces.

We created meeting rooms with our own bespoke steel glazing system which allows thin profiles to create a clean stylish look. Meeting tables were handbuilt from black sprayed oak, and we fitted a complete new kitchen and toilet block. Our space planning service created a whole new layout to allow for more workstations which we fitted out with Vitra desking, hardwired for power and data.

MOTHER STUDIO

A practical and bold new studio for the art department of the famous agency in a former Tea depository. This project required a stylish solution that took into account our clients considerable IT and daily running requirements, and that could be installed seamlessly with no downtime for this busy department.

We produced this fantastic desking system. It’s the length of a swimming pool with inbuilt power and data for each of its 32 stations. Covered in gloriously eyepopping bespoke Formica, each section was individually created from vintage wallpapers and fabrics.

A meeting room was created with bespoke glazed steelwork to fit into the industrial style of the building, set off with vintage furniture pieces.

MOTHER CREATIVE

A new workspace for the creative department of this advertising agency. Mother asked us to create a new space for their creatives to work and generate ideas. It needed to fit in with the aggressive
concrete styling of their building but also to define the department as separate from the rest of the space, without building partitions.

We created a raised concrete platform with steel handrails and 3 enormous hand built tables. The tables were built using reclaimed antique oak and lovingly finished to provide hidden hardwiring of all power and data.

We designed and delivered the whole project with all the logistics required when pouring 30 tons of concrete onto the 3rd floor of a busy ad agency, with no interruption to business!

RAW TV

A complete new home for this International TV production company. Raw were bursting at the seams of their old offices and got us in to design and deliver their new London HQ.

The challenge was to create a tailored environment which could fit their entire operation into a limited amount of space while still retaining an open feel and efficient workflow.

The whole space was fitted out with our own bespoke desking system clad in a range of coloured Formicas. We created glazed steel meeting and board rooms, fabric-clad edit suites, a production proof kitchen and relaxed breakout spaces.

Reclaimed timber cladding, pendant lighting, vintage pieces and a hand made wooden refectory table helped create a relaxed feel.

LBi BOARDROOM

A stylish showcase space for this advertising agency inside the bridge spanning Brick Lane. LBi required a space that could be used for board meetings and pitches. It needed to have a level of formality but not be stuffy and to still feel creative. It also needed to function as a projection space and from time to time as a breakout and function space. The challenge was to do all this whilst retaining the character of the bridge room.

We clad the walls with walnut- framed fabric panels which allowed agency work to be presented but which could also open to reveal whiteboards for pitches and idea sessions. From behind these panels, walnut screens slide out in unison to blackout the room for projections. We furnished the room with bespoke walnut tables and reconditioned vintage pieces.
