i29 l interior architects

The board of All Capital, an investment group in capital stock, wanted to have a self-called ‘power office’. i29 l interior architects and Eckhardt&Leeuwenstein, two offices which collaborated during this project, created this by placing every board member in the spotlight on a playful way.

All three boardrooms and a lounge are executed in an overall design concept. Large round lampshades, spray painted gold on the inside, seem to cast light and shadow oval marks throughout the whole space. By this, a playful pattern of golden ovals contrasts with the angular cabinets and desks, which are executed in black stained ash wood. In the flooring the oval shaped forms continue by using light and dark grey carpet. Also, these ovals define the separate working areas.

The lounge area has, in combination with the white marble flooring these same light/shadow patterns that cover the bar and benches in silver fabrics. This area can be used for presentations or social working, with an integrated flat screen in the bar and data connections in all pieces of furniture. The existing space is set in a 17th century historic building, at one of the most famous canals of Amsterdam called ‘de gouden bocht’. All existing ornaments and details are painted white.

i29

Jeroen Dellensen sent us these fantastic pics of i29’s interior design of a public school in the Netherlands.

This is from the official press release, “In the design for the new accommodations of public school Panta Rhei in Amstelveen (NL) there is a lot of attention on the balance between freedom and a sense of security. Snelder Architecten realised a building with many open multifunctional spaces where students can make themselves familiar with the teaching material. The interior design by i29 links up with that perfectly and gives the spaces an identity that connects with the students’ environment and addresses them directly and personally. i29 let itself be inspired by the name of the school. Panta Rhei, meaning ‘every-thing flows’, ‘everything is in motion’. This led to a design that leaves space for the imagination of the users, offering elements that can be used flexibly, which also propagates the school’s identity.”

Clouds / Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

How cool is this! Clouds is Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s new line of decor for Ligne Roset. Clouds allows users to create their own installations, by piecing together tiles to create original designs. The Bouroullec brothers worked with Kvadrat to bring the line to life in two different fabrics and a variety of colors. Clouds is available exclusively at Ligne Roset.

New Offices for Shilo

This looks a mighty fine studio environment in which to work! The filmmakers from creative production company Shilo recently collaborated with architects Jim Brown and Jim Gates, the principals of San Diego based Public Architecture + Planning, to design their new studio, which is located in the heart of downtown La Jolla at 7650 Girard Avenue.
