Colorblock



Imagine that this is your office. Impossible? Not if you work for DGI-byen, a popular event venue in Copenhagen. Art studio Hvass & Hannibal put together this design for a conference room renovation, building mobile blocks suitable for dividing the large meeting room into smaller spaces when necessary.

Not only does their design allow for a flexible and changing environment, the colors lend themselves well to an exciting urban/modern atmosphere. The juxtaposition of the tall blocks on the gray background are meant to represent the interaction of cityscape and landscape. To read more about this design and see additional photos of the finished room, visit their site.

The colorblock pieces below reminded me of the bright multicolor palette and geometric patterns from Hvass & Hannibal's design.
