From designing Facebook\u2019s original headquarters in Palo Alto, California, to a workstation for contract furniture brand Kimball Office, Studio O+A has demonstrated time and time again that it can conceive projects of any scale always with a fresh eye. In particular, the firm\u2019s impressive ability to embody its clients\u2019 cultures within workplace interior architecture and design has caught the attention of critics, institutions and publications, eventually leading to its induction into Interior Design<\/i> magazine\u2019s Hall of Fame in 2015. And this week, Studio O+A is formally receiving an even bigger honor \u2014 the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for interior design \u2014 putting them in the company of legendary names like I.M. Pei, Frank Gehry, Bruce Mau, Tom Ford, Herman Miller and Steven Holl, to name just a handful. Just before the awards gala at New York City\u2019s Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, we spoke to the firm\u2019s founding partners, Primo Orpilla and Verda Alexander, about their big win, design philosophy and processes and what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Husband-and-wife team Primo Orpilla and Verda Alexander<\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve won awards before. But was it a different feeling to win the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award?<\/i>
Verda Alexander<\/b>: We were completely surprised when we got the news. It has already been a great year with the Interior Design<\/i> Hall of Fame induction. We didn\u2019t think there was anything else on the horizon. The National Design Award is the ultimate honor \u2014 Primo equated it with getting knighted!
Primo Orpilla<\/b>: It leaves you speechless, and it is really humbling.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Uber<\/i><\/p>\n

Which projects do you feel helped you garner the attention to eventually win this award?<\/i>
VA<\/b>: Uber, of course. It shows some new thinking with regards to how a workspace can look \u2014 an honesty and a new mix of materials where luxury collides with the down-to-earth.
PO<\/b>: I would add Facebook and AOL. They\u2019re older projects that were seen as turning points in workplace design. We were experimenting with typologies and broke new ground.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Uber<\/i><\/p>\n

In fact, you\u2019ve done a lot of workplaces for the Silicon Valley set. After doing so many tech company offices, how do you keep it fresh and original?<\/i>
PO<\/b>: At the core of our process is research and analysis, and that always reveals fresh approaches. We look to connect a narrative to the site. That helps connect people to the place where they\u2019re going to work. It always stays fresh if you don\u2019t get mechanical about how to use design to solve human problems.
VA<\/b>: We believe that starting with the client and his or her story will always give any project a fresh start.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Yelp<\/i><\/p>\n

But how do you collaborate with your clients in the first place?<\/i>
PO<\/b>: We go beyond the program to pick up on the personality of the company. What are they really about? Their management style, philosophy, vision \u2026
VA<\/b>: We spend as much upfront time as possible getting to know our client and interviewing all levels of staff until we feel we really understand the people, their culture and the company\u2019s goals and mission. Only then do we start to think aesthetically about what might fit for them and how to meet their needs.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Yelp<\/i><\/p>\n

How much does branding factor into the design?<\/i>
PO<\/b>: Can we redefine branding? To us it means \u201cWhat is this company about?\u201d Brand often leans towards marketing, the selling of a product. But the ethos of the company is the basis of the brand. The design has to be aligned with the ethos. We\u2019re really talking about alignment. Our job is to help clarify, and in that way, we are always branding.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

And a lot of each project\u2019s furnishings are custom designed?<\/i>
VA<\/b>: Once we were working on a project for a software company and there wasn\u2019t a workstation out there that did what we needed it to, so we scavenged from several manufacturers to create a new workstation standard. We called it the \u201cFrankenstation!\u201d
PO<\/b>: We always want a curated look. I heard a great lecture by Stefan Sagmeister, who said that you can tell where there\u2019s love and care put into something and where there is not. It may not always be custom designed, but there is always a reason, there is always love. Custom designing doesn\u2019t necessarily mean making it more expensive, too. For one project for Levi Strauss, we were able to get the workstations faster and cheaper if we designed them and had them fabricated locally. Sometimes the products we see available just don\u2019t tell the story we want to tell.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

How did you first get into furniture design?<\/i>
PO<\/b>: We always designed furniture. We have done custom work since the beginning. In the last few years, we\u2019ve started designing products for more general sales. Now the workplace has changed and manufacturers are all adjusting to what the market wants. People work outside of their desks. The product side is catching up.
VA<\/b>: Primo is the product guy. He\u2019s working with a couple of manufacturers to develop desks, lounges and ancillary furniture. I\u2019m drawn to the two-dimensional, and my interest is in the surface. I love patterns, for instance. It looks like I\u2019m going to be working on a couple designs for some carpet manufacturers.<\/p>\n

How often do you come up with a product design that has no connection to a project you\u2019ve worked on?<\/i>
PO<\/b>: Most of our ideas are rooted in some real-world challenge that we have faced. Tech is leading the way in terms of treating the employee as the key to success. My hope is that these innovations will work for professional services, law firms, healthcare \u2026 any kind of office.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

What\u2019s a product category you\u2019d like to get into?<\/i>
VA<\/b>: I\u2019m excited about the potential opportunities with carpets and would like to explore other surface materials, like LVT flooring, laminates and wallpaper. Also, there are some new materials with the potential to define the future office, like acoustical panels.
PO<\/b>: Architectural products, more lighting controls and acoustic treatments. How can you make workspaces more humanistic? We\u2019re not talking about flashy design. We want to make humans comfortable.<\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/i>
PO<\/b>: A product line that specializes in acoustic separation. I\u2019m designing a light fixture that can provide shelter, too. We\u2019re working for some hospitality clients, but we can\u2019t name them yet! Also a sport apparel company. There\u2019s interest in having us help with residential projects, too. There\u2019s a burgeoning trend toward mixing workplace and living space together. We are designing a mixed-use project applying our approaches to where we live.
VA<\/b>: We are also working on a workplace lounge line for an Italian manufacturer that will be shown at Salone in Milan and a permanent showroom for Kimball in New York City.<\/p>\n

Axciom<\/i><\/p>\n

Speaking of New York City, didn\u2019t you guys open a New York office?!<\/i>
VA<\/b>: Yes, we are very excited! We had a soft opening in July. We knew we would have a couple of New York projects and decided it would be good for the client to have someone there. So we took the opportunity to make it permanent.
PO<\/b>: We are attracted to areas where work matters. We love the fact that New York has so many end users for us to investigate and new types of workplaces to explore. Neil Bartley is a fantastic leader and ambassador for what we do. And I will be splitting my time between the offices.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Axciom<\/i><\/p>\n

If anyone wants to apply for an opening at your NYC office, what should they know?<\/i>
VA<\/b>: We have a link on our website<\/a> and welcome r\u00e9sum\u00e9s. Right now, anyone in New York will be wearing a lot of hats!<\/p>\n

Finally, what\u2019s a dream client in your opinion?<\/i>
VA<\/b>: Coming from the artist\u2019s perspective, I would like a client that would give me complete freedom and a radical program where I could explore new ideas and alternative strategies, whether they be for the work-place or about a larger dialogue.
PO<\/b>: There is a dream project: to do the American pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Aim high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
