Box Office: Storage Defines Space in Parisian Workplace

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 10:00 AM PDT

For a small group of creatives (art directors and designers), a series of semi-enclosed work areas was a must – but with Paris real estate prices, spatial separators needed to do more than just divide up space.

Hence this modular system of storage walls designed by h2o architects to create a dynamic series of partial rooms while also providing much-needed storage areas.

Given the visual nature of those working in the spaces, display surfaces were needed as well. The artful solution? Putting picture rails and other hanging infrastructure on the non-opening sides of the constituent boxes.

By using light wood and white paint throughout, the result is a complex yet relatively blank canvass – a starting point for evolving displays and sharing design ideas without distractions formed by underlying color choices.

Sometimes IKEA hits the market, and sometimes it misses – many times, it gets close, but not close enough. If you have ever wondered how to get just a little more out of your own IKEA furniture, Superfront has some solutions for you.

With little work (certainly less than it takes to assemble many IKEA pieces in the first place) you can add a splash of color, dynamic geometry, hardware or decor to your existing pieces.
