Layer offices

The new London offices of Layer, founded by Benjamin Hubert, are meant to both communicate the brand identity and facilitate the overall working atmosphere.

Layer, Studio interiors, London, 2017

Layer, the experience design agency founded by Benjamin Hubert, has recently re-located to a new studio in East London and designed its interiors within a 1,066 sqm warehouse. The layout had to create a highly functional and flexible creative workspace to showcase the studio’s work.

The studio hosts a team of twenty creatives from diverse backgrounds – including researchers, industrial designers, UI/UX digital designers, engineers, brand and graphic designers from around the world. The studio has been designed to inspire the team, with a constantly evolving display of work, samples and research showcased within the interior architecture.

The entrance leads directly to the main break-out space, where recycled PET acoustic dividers can be arranged to accommodate flexible work practices and workshops of varying sizes based on project needs. Lightweight Pair chairs by LAYER for Fritz Hansen surround circular tables to encourage collaboration and conversation within the flexible screen system. Deep-set display boxes on the wall of the main break-out space reflect the colours and imagery of Layer’s new website. These boxes are used to display new products as they launch, showcasing the studio’s work to visitors and clients.

A separate kitchen and dining break-out is used for informal staff meetings and lunch with a warmer material palette of oak surfaces and soft grey to encourage a more relaxed state of mind. Exposed tech cabling throughout the entire studio gives the interior a raw and honest expression. It also allows the studio to remain flexible by facilitating the easy expansion of desks as the team grows. This industrial expression is continued in the workshop and prototyping area, where racks display and store the studio’s prototypes.
