Wonderfactory

I was checking out DesignSponge one afternoon (as I usually do), and came across this office space... it's called the Wonderfactory, which is a company located in New York (where eklse?!) and is basically responsible for being really really creative and really really fantastic. At my work, we're focusing our attention on one of the top five Marketing/Ad agencies in the states and redoing their space... so the Wonderfactory served as a great bit of inspiration.

The waiting area- check out how slick the Barcelona Chair looks in this space.


One of the two collaborative spaces in the office-


In this room, the "paintings" that you see are actually a grouping of a triptych that are digital images taken by employees on vacation. The wall covering was also designed by three of their own employees.

One of the conference rooms- check out the frames around digital screens... clever.

The open work area-


No lie... The Wonderfactory spent $285,ooo on this small meeting space so that he could tell people to "go to hell." (The affectionate nickname of the space.)

This is my favorite... it's called the play lounge. Check out the umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. Mary Poppins-esque.

More images are on the Wonderfactory's site- check them out yourself... http://www.thewonderfactory.com
