Address: Moscow, design factory "Flacon"
Enviable location, free, open plan, industrial style, high technology, soft and expensive light, eco-friendly silent coatings from fashion catalogs, air conditioning, sexy secretaries, gutturally gurgling coolers with “living” water, excellent coffee from super coffee machines and CCTV around the perimeter with motion sensors. The owners of such an office need a client, tired of Soviet life, who will be happy to be in their strong premium embrace. This is a boutique office. With show-off, but without pathos. The business owner spent his first money on a luxury Cadillac. I used it to visit clients. They had no idea that this was his office. Now the business owner has a whole fleet of cars, and the office is his own showcase and showroom.

OFFICE AS A GAME
Work for employees of such organizations is like a sport, like a game for money that they receive on salary cards. The interior there stimulates the creativity of employees, the courage of decisions, their variability, the dynamics and youth of spirit of all those present. And this is not infantilism, but a cunning calculation. Their game is contagious - it is with the interior of the office that they make it clear to the client that they play with him on the same team and on the same field. The customer wins, and the business also wins. Everyone is having fun, and if anyone is bad at creativity, they fire him.

OFFICE AS A HOUSE
Remote access is an ideal form of work for office employees, and even more so for their boss. Thanks to today's technology, this is not a problem. If it were possible, the boss would not leave the house at all. But there are still employees (and there are too many of them to allow them into your apartment). At one time, the director dreamed of having a house like the headquarters of Bottega Veneta in Venice or Diana von Furstenberg in New York (shop on the ground floor, living space and office above). There is no need to go anywhere, there is no need to waste time. But what to do with employees? There are too many of them. The result of the ordeal is these offices. They are a stylistic extension of the boss’s house. And the atmosphere here is the same. Even his dog doesn't notice the difference.

OFFICE AS WAREHOUSE
There's a lot here. A client who comes here may think that the fruits of the company's employees will soon force employees out of their jobs. But don’t throw away all these cute crafts; so much work and talent was put into them! And how much humor! They have a very friendly team. Almost family! Everyone here is like-minded. You should have seen their birthday celebrations! You should have heard them sing karaoke! And how many destinies have been connected thanks to this office! How many new lives he gave to the world!

In office design, two concepts are generally accepted: the traditional “closed” (or office-corridor) and open (Open Space). The first category includes, for example, most government institutions in Russia: signs on the doors, various “departments” and personal offices. In terms of operational efficiency, such an office best corresponds to the linear-functional structure of a company with classical methods of coordination and management verticals.
It is worth noting that there are 2 main approaches to creating the interior of office premises: American and European.
American approach
This office interior design is characterized by the presence of open space, but is characterized by dynamism and, from time to time, even a certain aggressiveness, which the company’s management strives to consciously demonstrate. The main feature of this approach is the commitment to using “in its pure form” one of the possible styles.
European approach
This office interior design also includes the concept of open space, while within its framework it is possible. In such offices, high-tech details calmly coexist with a unique Persian carpet. At the moment, experts identify several subtypes of European style, determined by furniture manufacturing countries: Scandinavian, German, Italian, etc.
Let’s dwell on the most established and pronounced styles of organizing office space. Each of them, in addition to being used in their “historical homeland,” has gained enormous popularity in other countries.
"Manhattan"
The traditional American office, familiar to us from Hollywood films, can evoke different reactions - from complete rejection to admiration. This style appeared in the thirties of the last century, during the era of the country's economic recovery after the Great Depression. It is often called “Wall Street”, or “Manhattan”, after the names of the largest business districts in New York. For most Americans, the meaning of life lies in work, and the cult of paid work, which is instilled here from childhood, certainly affected
Its basis, as mentioned above, is considered to be Open Space - this is an open space that consists only of columns and external walls. Separate small rooms are reserved only for negotiations and rest, in addition, for senior managers. All other employees of the company mostly sit in huge halls, which are partitioned off with furniture panels. Americans make even the interior of a small office as efficient and energizing as possible, striving to use every square meter of it to maximum benefit.
Most residents of this country are so absorbed in their work that they create a small “Manhattan” in their own home. Huge studio apartments, with a lot of space and light, huge windows and a minimum of furniture, are considered comfortable housing for an American. A home office is also created here. The interior in such rooms is generally very strict and seemingly devoid of individuality - a desk, a chair, and the necessary office equipment, located in the corner of the room.
Democratic Europe
Now let's look at this style. The office interior, created in the European style, is less monotonous than the American one. It uses light, sometimes transparent panels to delimit places, which perfectly transmit light, although nothing can be seen through them. A person working behind such a partition feels isolated: he does not see his neighbor, while the office remains light and bright.
Pan-European approach
The pan-European office interior can be divided into different subtypes, which mainly differ in the principle of furniture selection. Thus, Scandinavian office furniture is light in color; it mainly uses wood, sometimes laminate and metal. It has light shapes in comparison with American ones, although in Europe such furniture is still considered the “heaviest”.
But the Italians, British and French prefer laminate, which makes it easy to highlight the corporate colors of the organization in the office, as well as metal legs that create a feeling of lightness. Most likely, an Italian office interior designer will be able to offer you lightness, variety of shapes and sophistication - representatives of this country were able to make the main contribution to the creation of the entire pan-European style.
German approach
It represents the thoughtfulness of the arrangement of each of the components of the workspace, the orderliness of details, as well as the ergonomics and functionality of the furniture. In German interiors, pronounced practicality and rationality are softened by the presence of a huge number of flowers - among them are fresh flowers located on window sills and their various images in the decor.
French approach
The French modern office interior is bright, light, not devoid of decor in the form of metal openwork details, mirrors, bright upholstery, as well as paintings in elegant gilded frames. This style introduces some improvisation and disorder into the interior, although at the same time it gives it a unique charm.
English approach
The office is distinguished by elegance and rigor. When creating here, the technique of open space is used. Management offices and meeting rooms are located in separate rooms. Peace and comfort reign in a traditional English office. This place contains furniture made from expensive types of wood, high-quality office supplies, vases, paintings, books, antiques, and carpets. In this style of interior design, you can see not only functionality, but also nobility and solidity.
Scandinavian approach
Office interior design in Scandinavian style is a minimum of decor and natural light colors, natural and simple materials. Such offices are open and spacious, workplaces are clearly organized here, beige and light gray colors of walls and furniture create a positive atmosphere and also help to concentrate attention on work.
This style is naturalness and simplicity, which are considered one of its main advantages.
Italian approach
Italian office interior is based on the idea of open space. It provides a huge number of redevelopment options, thereby allowing you to improve the premises by trying different designs of work places in order to increase their efficiency. Along with open spaces, this place also provides isolated rooms (meeting rooms, executive offices, meeting rooms). Italian style in general is distinguished by elegance, grace, and, in addition, high quality interior components. Ergonomic shapes, expensive materials, airy and light curtains, vases with flowers, paintings, carpets. This is all necessarily in a warm range of colors.
Bank offices
Traditionally, bank offices are divided into 2 parts. The first contains separate offices for management. Modern, cold design is contraindicated in this place: the interior of an office cabinet designed in this style is positioned by the bank as young and aggressive, which means it has recently entered the market. Consequently, it is better to maintain its atmosphere in a style that gives partners at the associative level a feeling of respectability and reliability.
In the other part, which is intended for all other employees, the room is mainly organized in an Open Space format. Here, separate corners are fenced off for middle managers. When setting up such an office, the open area needs to be organized in such a way that people feel like a single team, while at the same time being able to maintain personal space. Most often, low partitions are used for this in bank offices.
Law Firm Offices
Here the environment should show conservatism, conscientiousness and stability. This entails the requirements for design and interior: rationality, rigor, full compliance with the status and position of the company; plus to all this there is a clear hierarchy traced in the office structure. It is worth noting that the cabinet system is more suitable for facilitating negotiations. To create a reliable, positive image, traditional style furniture is used.
Engineering company offices
The offices of technology and engineering companies are mostly furnished, although they are compact and ergonomic. Therefore, the ideal solution for these rooms is an Open Space layout with low partitions. Here aesthetics moves to second place, while convenience and comfort come first. Although this only applies to work spaces where representative functions are not very important. At the same time, the manager’s office must be arranged according to the rules. If it is decorated in an antique style or in neoclassical style, it is unlikely to be able to make the right impression on visitors. In the design of such offices, a high-tech style would be more appropriate.
Offices of consumer market participants
Such offices want to demonstrate the product face to face. Due to this, the interior exhibits a slight exaggeration and, in addition, a conscious extravagance. The main materials used are laminate of different shades, metal and glass. Unusual lighting, bright colors, and the use of the latest designer developments are acceptable here. The main task is to make an impression without losing your stylistic integrity.
Advertising company offices
Editorial offices, PR and advertising agencies use the advantages of an open office more often than other companies. Such offices are more likely to gravitate towards the American way of interior design. In these companies, democracy is embedded in their structure - the manager is always open to new ideas, as well as to communicate with subordinates. In such offices, the requirements for furniture are multifunctionality and ergonomics. For example, you can use office shelving as partitions.
In addition to the European and American approaches to creating an office interior, one can also take into account the Japanese approach.
Japanese approach
The exceptional hard work and efficiency of the Japanese, their unity, discipline, and restraint are known throughout the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that their interiors are based on logic, harmony and simplicity. The furniture is distinguished by the unity of material and shape, repetition of elements and some asymmetry, as well as mostly smooth surfaces. Mostly light colors are used: beige, milky, white. Natural cotton and silk are used for decoration.
Here, the office design style is based on the principle of hierarchy and functionality. Each employee occupies a workplace in the area allocated to him in accordance with his position in the company. Thus, ordinary employees sit in open and spacious rooms where there are no partitions. Opposite is the manager's workplace. Consequently, each employee sits facing the boss, which allows him to exercise full control over his subordinates.
It is worth noting that the European approach also implies a focus on the company’s activities, which is also important, since the furnishings in each office should demonstrate the corporate style of the company.
Russian office
In our country, only a few people use open spaces in their offices (as a rule, the exceptions are the editorial offices of magazines and newspapers). The majority still uses the “Soviet” version of the traditional office type - a huge number of offices, each with several employees. Our hierarchy consists of only 2 positions: the leader and the rest. Consequently, the entire office is organized this way. The director's office is the most spacious. In the creation of interiors of Russian leaders, its design is emphasized to be thorough, solid, expensive, and sometimes luxurious. All objects here are massive or look like they are. Expensive materials are used, often cabinets, cabinets and tables are decorated with various prestigious accessories.
Although in recent years, in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other big cities, leaders have appeared who strive to look modern. Most of them prefer the European style when organizing offices. Such premises managers rent in modern buildings, in which there is a lot of air and space, and install mobile, lightweight, reconfigurable furniture with a huge number of metal parts.
According to experts, offices consisting of a huge number of small rooms will gradually begin to disappear in Russia. Nowadays, more promising premises are those that are formed by large open spaces and can be easily reconfigured and formed, as well as where it will be possible to create a modern and functional office interior with your own hands. Modern office buildings are built precisely according to this principle. Here, on each floor there is a central hall, external walls, a service unit, columns, while everything else is created by the owner of the room. In fact, this way of using space is dictated by the architecture of the buildings.

How you want to see your "brainchild" is influenced by many factors. Among them are the layout of the room and its stylistic image, the color scheme of work areas, the presence of utility rooms, the convenience of furniture, the location of equipment, lighting, temperature conditions, and air quality.

We suggest looking at how to properly and competently plan an office space and organize workplaces so that a person would be happy to go to work in the current publication “Dream House”.
Modern office interior layout
The creation of any interior, including an office one, begins with a layout, which is of significant importance for the performance of the entire enterprise. When drawing up a project for a future office, you need to be guided by what type of activity the company conducts and how many of its employees are there. Several methods are used for the internal layout of office space:
- according to the principle of the cabinet system;
- open (Open Space);
- using modular partitions;
- mixed.
Today, offices with huge lobbies, long corridors and numerous offices can be found mainly in huge corporations, where the scope of work covers many industries and requires an individual approach to many issues. Huge offices include suspended glass ceilings, luxurious lobbies with staircases, parapets and columns, which are made of granite or marble. The design of lobbies, as well as offices and reception areas, also uses wall panels made of wood, which is still in demand.
Medium and small companies welcome the organization of space like an open space or modular office, which combine ergonomics, freedom and visual beauty, which corresponds to high-tech and styles. The main advantages of such layouts are rational use of space, the possibility of close interaction between colleagues and open relationships with the client.
But sometimes even the field of activity of a small company requires silence and concentration. In this case, if square meters allow, preference is given to a mixed office layout.
If space has to be saved, a move such as creating one closed room for negotiations and resolving issues that require privacy is used.
Many offices have a reception, a reception area for clients and partners, a conference room and separate offices for management staff. Their design may differ somewhat from the general interior of the office and work areas. Let's say the reception desk may have a brighter finish, and the boss's room may be expensive and solid.
Part of progressive offices, in addition to the locker room and toilet room, is the presence of other office premises, the presence of which will prove that management cares about subordinates. So, during irregular working hours, the team will be given moral satisfaction by a relaxation room, which, in addition to comfortable armchairs or a sofa, may include a place for snacks, a billiard table, a small gym and a shower.
Modern office design: color and style
Today's offices are stylish, comfortable, practical and positive. Preference is given to interiors in which the decoration of walls, ceilings and floors, the design of furniture and equipment represent a single ensemble. It is clear that there are many styling options, and each specific office is an individual solution, and it should be such that the desire to work does not leave you.
In the first place is the work on the color environment. Preferred colors for a modern office:
- pastel - blue, green, beige, yellow, cream;
- neutrals - dark gray, metallic and white.
Pastel cold shades used for the interior design of a modern office are suitable for structures whose activities require concentration and logical thinking, warm ones are appropriate where the work is creative.
Business and formal offices in high-tech and Manhattan styles are impressed by huge windows, polished metal furniture, glass partitions, smooth surfaces, light, simple accessories, chrome and silver fittings, lamps on brackets, built into the furniture.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the office design in a classic style, which always remains cutting-edge. It is characterized by cabinets, tables and chairs made of dark wood, with noble upholstery and massive legs. The decoration of such interiors is rich libraries, expensive paintings and various antique objects. Massive chandeliers and are used here as light sources.
Relevant in the organization of office space is one that is aimed at discipline and collectivism. Its distinguishing features are the refined harmony of colors, accessories and furniture. Simple furniture, light colors, a lot of light, lightness, asymmetrical repetition of elements - design principles in the spirit of Japan.
For offices where work is related to artistic or creative activities, interiors in the and styles are suitable, which represent elegance of lines, openwork partitions, screens, draped furniture, painted walls. They are characterized by unusual things, bright accessories, forged items, in general, everything that helps immerse oneself in the world of art.
Arrangement of the working area of a modern office
In addition to creating a beautiful and stylish office space, providing staff with comfortable workspaces is an equally important point. The environment in which a person spends a long time affects his emotional state, which, in turn, affects his attitude towards his responsibilities and, in general, his productivity.
Important rules:
- The furniture of each workplace should not only correspond to the company’s style, but also be of high quality and comfortable. At a minimum, this is a table with enough area to complete tasks, as well as a chair with the correct backrest position.
- To decorate the floor of a room where people spend at least 8 hours, it is used, or, unlike tiles, these materials are not so cold, and also, due to their versatility, beautifully complement any interior.
- If the work area is an open space or grouped in blocks, care must be taken to soundproof the room. They do an excellent job with this task.
