Rainbow Office

Designed by Dutch architecture firm Hofman Dujardin, the DLA Piper office is a playful space intended to accentuate the variations in sunlight throughout a typical working day.

What does that mean? The side of the building that receives the most sunlight is balanced with cooler tones, while the side that receives the least is compensated with warm tones.

Meanwhile, the giant gradient of carpet connects the four main meeting rooms, while also creating a simple and clear sense of orientation within the building.

The result is a sculptural workspace that combines a desk, an ergonomically designed seating space, and a counter top.  Each element flows naturally into the other, creating a flexible workspace that encourages collaboration.

The reclined seating space is perfect for sitting back with a laptop while the other sides function as counter space for that’s easily accessible for standing and a traditional desk area for other tasks.

Varini's Optical Illusions

Felice Varini is known for creating illusions of flat graphics on 3 dimensional spaces. From a fixed viewpoint these graphics will look falt.

His latest project Cercle et Suite D'eclats takes on the challenge of working at a much bigger scale, the scale of a village. In this project, he superimposed perfect circles on a town called Vercorin in the Swiss Alps. From within the village, the graphics are fragmented and don't make much sense, but from a distance, the lines form a series of rings!!!

More of his work after the jump.
