We always thought that fables
anthropomorphized animals, plants and inanimate objects, giving them
human-like character. For us, the word fable evokes thoughts of rich,
organic colour - a sort of Cirque du Soleil Varekai world. So when we
heard that the new office of the Amsterdam-based UXUS Design was inspired by the fables, we expected a riot of colour.
Instead,
we saw a predominantly white interior with transparent walls, white,
gauzy drapery and residential-style floor lamps. A few wall graphics
and some organic furnishings do give a nod to nature and, without
doubt, the office is a cool background for colourful ideas. It is a
stylish base for UXUS, founded in 2003 by USA-born co-creative director
Georg Anthony Gottl, Costa Rica native Erica Gottl, and French-born
co-creative director Oliver J.P. Michell. Their collective experience
spans the globe and their work includes interiors, architecture,
retail, hospitality, identity, graphics and packaging projects for
clients such as Levi's, Nokia and Adidas. By Tuija Seipell.
