Good design isn’t just about making things look pretty. It’s about creating experiences, solving problems, and making life better. As an architect, I believe that the true power of design lies in three key areas: 1. Functionality: Design That Works A space should serve its purpose effortlessly. Whether it’s a home, office, or public space, functionality is the foundation. Great design doesn’t just look good—it works seamlessly for the people who use it. 2. Sustainability: Design That Endures By using energy-efficient materials, incorporating natural resources, and creating spaces that adapt to their environment, we build for the future. 3. Emotional Connection: Design That Resonates Spaces should make you feel something. A good design fosters a sense of comfort, belonging, or inspiration. It’s the feeling you get when you walk into a room and instantly feel at home, or when a workspace inspires creativity and focus. In the end, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating environments that work, endure, and connect. That’s what truly makes it powerful.

The Time Machine: Welcome to RETROFUTURISM Imagine walking into an office that looks like it emerged from a 1960s sci-fi movie — but with modern functionality. That's RETROFUTURISM, the design trend that's about to blow your mind. As the end of 2024 draws to a close, are you plotting out projects for next year? If you're in a commercial space — perhaps your store, restaurant, or office is ready for a refresh?  As an interior designer, I focus on how people live in their spaces. Remember the living room of the 60s where families gathered around the television? Today we need design to help push us back together. In the office of the future, what aspects will make workers actually want to go? Today, I want to introduce you to RETROFUTURISM. Picture this:  Curved walls that soften lighting  Neutral tones that whisper "calm productivity" Windows that frame the outside world like living art pieces This isn't just design — it's an experience. The 60s dreamed of future workspaces as magical environments. We're finally making those dreams real. Thematic gardens visible through bubble-like windows. Spaces that don't just house our work but inspire it. Why settle for boring when you can work in a space that feels like a time-traveling innovation lab? RETROFUTURISM isn't just about looking cool. It's about creating environments that make people feel extraordinary. Curious how we can transform your space from mundane to mind-blowing?

THE ART OF CREATING SPACES THAT TELL A STORY AND BRING IT TO LIFE Every office has a story, and interior design is the language that brings it to life. Creating storytelling spaces builds emotional connections, enhances brand presence, and inspires employees. Creating a Narrative with Design From entrance foyers to conference rooms, each space tells a chapter of a company’s story. Visual elements like murals, art installations, and branded colour schemes communicate the organization’s values and vision, creating an immersive brand journey. Journey of Time and Innovation Feature walls or timelines depicting milestones inspire employees and visitors alike. Integrating digital displays with interactive elements can showcase a company’s growth and future aspirations. This engages and connects people to the brand’s evolution. Using Cultural and Local Elements Incorporating regional art, heritage-inspired motifs, or materials unique to a location adds authenticity. Offices that reflect their geographical roots create a distinct identity while fostering pride in employees about their workplace. Personalized Spaces that Resonate Creating spaces that align with the personas of the team fosters belonging. Think customized workstations with personalizable elements or zones inspired by famous innovators in the industry. This approach enhances engagement and collaboration. Conclusion Designing offices that tell stories transforms the workplace from a functional space to a meaningful experience. By weaving brand, culture, and creativity together, companies can create memorable environments that inspire success. #CorporateInteriors #OfficeDesign #WorkspaceInspiration #InteriorDesign #CommercialInteriors #InteriorArchitecture #ModernOffice #WorkplaceDesign #OfficeInspiration #CorporateWorkspace #OfficeInteriors #ExecutiveInteriors #BoardroomDesign #OfficeMakeover #CollaborativeSpaces #SustainableDesign #WorkplaceWellbeing #CorporateEnvironment #ClientFocusedDesign #BespokeInteriors #TurnkeySolutions #OfficeTransformation #ProjectManagement #WorkplaceEvolution #FuturaCorporateInteriors #DesignTrends2024 #BiophilicDesign #SustainableMaterials #AdaptableWorkspaces #SmartOffices #ColorPsychology #FuturaInteriors #OfficeProductivity #EcoFriendlyDesign #ModularFurniture #OfficeDesign #WorkspaceInnovation #InteriorDesignTrends #GreenOffice #FlexibleWorkspaces #FutureOfWork #SustainableDesign #ProductiveWorkspaces

In just under 100 days, we transformed an ordinary office into an extraordinary space designed to inspire innovation and collaboration. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering functional design without compromising beauty or technology. From the grand entrance lobby adorned with custom-designed LED lighting to the seamless integration of acoustic comfort using EcoBoard throughout the space, every detail was carefully curated. The collaborative work areas offer not just a place to meet, but an environment that fosters creativity. The meeting rooms shine with architectural lighting by Targetti Sankey S.r.l. and the exquisite fixtures by Davide Groppi embodying the perfect balance of art, design, and technology. The result is more than an office, it is a dynamic ecosystem where people can thrive. It is proof that design is not just about aesthetics, it is about creating environments that amplify productivity, comfort, and the joy of working together. At DesignLab by Schaller we believe in crafting spaces that reflect your aspirations and elevate your operations. 💡 Ready to reimagine your workspace?
