Project Description

OLX – Local Office

Colorful, green, diverse and warm. A place you will fall in love with. This is new supply by Human Office of the office furniture for the company OLX. The new working environment for the customer was designed by Workplace architects. OLX is the largest online classified ads company in Poland. The project is located on the 11th floor of the Q22 building in Warsaw, Poland.

Architects really enjoyed the company manual branding, it’s bright and cheerful colors, interesting and varied iconography. They thought they would use these style and use it in the designing space. The core business philosophy of the company lies on the open relationship built locally, so the reception was decided to be open in the networking area to look like a home garden. Comfortable couches, high work benches, a library and a quiet corner with a rocking chair and grass flooring. All of this complemented by the sign saying “Hello”, arranged from a garden hose on a white brick wall.

The Naspers office is on the right-hand side of the reception. Looking for an idea for the design of this space, we wanted to emphasize its international, business character. At the same time, we wanted the office to remain warm. In this way, the environment referring to the classical New York style has evolved.

On the left-hand side of the reception, there is a soothing working environment complemented by thematic zones and meeting rooms referring to the leading portals owned by OLX. We also designed various quiet rooms and phone booths so that employees do not disturb each other. Because those spaces are located close to the open space, they are constantly used for their function. The lockers with green and flowers separate the individual work zones from communication zones. Between the white acoustic panels, here and there you can see the sky-blue ceiling showing through. The design project has been complemented by scenographic elements (books, plants, boxes, neons, etc.) referring to the thematic portals belonging to the OLX group.
