With relocation into its first dedicated office space, Natixis Global Asset Management called in the expertise of MF Design Studio to drive an office design that reflects the company’s business and culture. With a Carter Lane location close to one of London’s most famous landmarks, St Paul’s Cathedral, it was only natural too that the design embraced the history and heritage of its surroundings.
"The office design is a representation of the influence and location of architecture on design and how the interior can reflect and adapt to different architectural elements to create a truly unique and genuine space," comments interior architect & director, May Fawzy, MF Studio.
Specifying Christy Carpets Straight and Narrow linear carpet tiles in light and dark shades of grey throughout the main office, MF Studio has created a feel that is warm and inviting yet functional, with the ability to adapt to layout changes in the future.
In other areas such as meeting rooms, the executive lounge and ‘brainstorming’ space, Christy Carpets’ Opera broadloom carpet in a grey shade set within stone tiles, has created a sought-after hospitality feel. Within selected executive offices, a striking purple style, again from the Christy Carpets Opera collection, has been used to inject branding colour into the space.
"Carpets in the office always seem to be a very successful and sensible option. I always specify products that stand the test of time and carpet is a very big part of the space that has to absorb a lot of wear and tear. It’s important that the carpet keeps its good look for as long as possible and when I specify carpets made with Antron® I know they will stand the test of time.
"Carpet is the background to the space, it plays a great role in setting the mood and tying the scheme together. By choosing warm grey Straight and Narrow carpet tiles, we’ve created a subtle and soft background that helps emphasise the colours chosen in furniture and fabrics," continues May Fawzy.
Stain-resistant and colourfast, easy to clean and standing up to wear, Antron® LumenaTM carpet fibre gives Straight and Narrow carpet tiles the ideal performance characteristics for use in spaces such as Natixis Global Asset Management’s new office.
