The challenge was to create the most creative environment that would be buzzing with collaboration. The result is a table of ideas shared by exactly 125 employees.
At Barbarian Group, where she found a home table, they believe in ideas that provoke reactions. They wanted a creative environment that would give birth to new ideas and collaborations. They wanted something that would make the Barbarian tribe, as they introduce themselves, happy and inspired every day.
The leaders of the company turned to the architect To Clive Wilkinson. They chose him because - like them - he is interested in really interesting things in a world of boring monotony. Like a table that can be shared by everyone 125 employees, but at the same time allows the individual to have their own intimacy within the working environment.
Wavy design, minimalist shiny white above, warm wood below, you can walk under the table, there are bookshelves in the table, it is a place for socializing and sharing ideas and it is a place to work in peace and quiet. This great table is like a wave that ripples through the room.
At the same time, it's not just a table for employees, it's a table for everyone with good ideas. Or as they wrote in the company: "So come and say hello to us, have a drink, pull up your chair, let's talk about something worth talking about". Open and broad thinking is actually quite expected in an office with such a cool desk.
