"My idea was to put the showroom and conference table right into the heart of the office – the so-called Movet Workshop. The result is a generous room for the team and a down-to-earth and hands on showroom for the clients," said Fehre (Dezeen).

"This repetition, paired with an easy to handle surface material, makes the units cost-efficient, while resonating with the theme of industrial production," said the designer. (Dezeen)
"It is important that they feel comfortable and related to the industry they are working in," he said. (Dezeen)
Studio
Alexander Fehre was chosen to complete the most prestige representative office
space that the company can adjoin that along with the warehouse. A savvy way to
combine the different areas by still dividing the range of requirements in a
limited space while retaining an open spacious feel. (ArchDaily) The company is
based on an online website where they mainly promote and sell their products,
the space was created for the employers but includes a showroom with conveyor-belt
elements displayed on white shelves around the room to emphasis relations with the
clients making them feel as if they are a part of the action.
A long table
with an oak-veneer top and coral lacquered legs sits in the middle of the space
with copper and plaster lighting fixtures. Across the way with two rows of
workstations are positioned at right angles to the window located at the very
rear is the executive office behind a glass dividing wall that gives an
allusion of open space feel. It contains
triangular furniture oak-veneered plywood and linoleum a complex way to not
take away from the space as the storage cabinets with oak coated in a
ceramic-laquer that combines the joints together to give a seamless finish to
perceive an open plan space as a whole. The eyes shift from the carpet surface
below the individual desk and storage areas with their unusual triangular shape
as it moves up into the ceiling while acoustic foam baffles are used in between
the wooden ceiling beams creating a pattern that portrays the furniture and
metal mesh. Keeping with the industrial aesthetic design using metal lights
dangling upon the conference table as guest are immediately integrated into the
office with engagement within the whole area. While using a mesh metal sheet
separating the space while embarking to still feel open. It’s used in the most
efficient way although it isn't completely solid it’s a genius way to separate
the space without closing it in.
The
carpeting is made from carpet tiles, which can be returned to the manufacturer
to be completely recycled after being use a great use of sustainable feature
(Dezeen). The choice of wooden furniture tones down the ridged industrial look
when it combines with the triangular desk placed in the working area with clean
contemporary lines. A mirrored wall at the end of the corridor conceals a
storage space to tricking the eye with a reflection of believing the space is
bigger than it appears. Along with using things that were inexpensive Fehre
takes it to a way that you wouldn't be able to tell with the great design aesthetic that was put into his work. The idea of the space is its constant eye
shifting moments from when you first enter and the moment you leave as its
unique design is hard to forget. The contemporary furniture designs with
ecstatic use of multi-use of metal work gives the space the perfect about of
industrial without going overboard.

I really like how the designer maintained the industrial warehouse look and incorporated that into the office design. It's really nice how the textured pattern of the room dividers mimics the ceiling as well. It's a really nice, clean space that I wouldn't mind working in.
Such a clean and neat place to work in office. This office have lots of movement, it will bring much energy for anyone who work in this space. So simple but really unique.
This office has a really detail design, I really like the different kind of wood floor, it is a nice place to work:)
Now, this is how an office should look. It is so nice to see good design in a workspace instead of the usual dreary cubicles. This is inspiration for any of us who will design offices in the future.
