One of the client’s stated prerequisites, at the draft stage of the project, was the tasteful integration of 1960s design pieces with works of art; to create an art showcase, not simply office space. A display case for these precious objects but also, and more importantly, a work environment for AI GLOBAL's staff seated at elegant Italian “bench” tables. The tranquillity created through the choice of colour and the character of the wood lends itself perfectly to the expression of the interplay of perspective and dimension set in motion by the art works hung on the walls and constitutes an ideal work setting. The open office space has been set around a central island which evolves from meeting table to work area or discussion zone.
