Amazing Up Filer from Westerville Design

by Simona Strachinaru, posted in Office, on October 4th, 2011

In case you are a teacher you work a lot with all kinds of documents, files or other kinds of papers. It is also my case and you can even imagine how my house looks like. It is full of books, magazines, documents, different types of school materials, old documents and so on. These days I had to search for a certain document and this was a real challenge. From time to time I reorganized them; update them so that I can throw the unnecessary materials and new space for the new comers. It is an activity that never ends, perhaps when I must retire.

I saw this amazing Up Filer from Westerville Design and it seems a perfect item for any teacher, architect or other people who need an organized storage place for all their papers.

Choosing a desk doesn’t seem like such a big deal. Of course, it’s only after that when you start to realize that your desk is either too low, too small, too uncomfortable and you wish you would have spent more time searching for a better one. We’re here to make that easier and we got something very special for you.

Herman Miller

This is the Envelop Desk and it’s a piece of furniture that was designed to match perfectly with your chair and your body, offering you ergonomic comfort. It has a minimalist design, mostly because it wasn’t created to impress but to offer comfort. It’s a versatile piece that can be used at home as a work area or even in the office as a standalone desktop. It was designed to be used with an ergonomic chair. The chair is as important as the desk because it dictates your position when working.

Za bor architects have created a wonderful office design for the Yandex company, more precisely the Kiev branch, in Ukraine. Being one of the most popular Russian Internet segment and constantly developing, the Kiev branch had to move into a new office.

The architects created an eco-friendly place, an office where you can find comfortable, quirky, cheerful spaces instead of a dull gray area. They also wanted to give it a modern aspect and make it a warm and welcoming place. Having a small space to work with, a tiny 290sqm, they came up with an interesting design. The room is flooded with natural light through a huge arched window that offers splendid views of the opera house.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Office, on September 29th, 2011

Even though the name reminds us of those little games we play on Facebook, Fabricville is a very serious office located in Gothenburg. It was designed by Catharina Frankander and Joel Degermark from Electric Dreams and it cover a surface of 1.500 sqm that goes along three levels. The office has 150 employees and each level is occupied by a different firm. That’s why each level also has its own color scheme that matches the identity of the brand.

The idea behind this design was to recreate a little village, since there are so many common elements between a busy company headquarters and a little village. You’ll see that the hallways resemble streets and you even get the impression that you’re walking on the small streets of a village. There are both public and private spaces, work spaces and recreational areas and the décor is inspired by traditional Swedish wooden cottages.
