Workspace design to attract talent
trilitech, a startup company within the Tezos foundation pioneering blockchain development, wanted their first home to reflect a contemporary and dynamic business. They needed a variety of workplace settings to support their highly intensive, focused work as well as more collaborative working styles.
Their potential for rapid expansion beyond this office location meant that they wanted to avoid spending too much of their budget on big structural changes. However as the company recruits highly specialised talent, it was critical to achieve a high-performance environment to help attract them.
trilitech didn’t want just another nice looking office, their aim was a high-end aesthetic with character. Our design focused on considerable changes to the finishes and fixtures in lieu of more radical layout alterations and we ensured that every piece of furniture and the final styling added further layers to the scheme. Everywhere you look, there is something to catch the eye, be it a bespoke rug or a carefully curated piece of art.
The office is warm and elegant yet playful and somewhere trilitech employees and clients love spending time.

Human centred office design
Our human centred design concentrated on zoning the space by taking advantage of the location’s multiple floors. Each level or area caters to a particular workplace function and is governed by an aspect of the overall colour palette. Travelling through the space, the variation is subtle but has a notable impact on the experience.
Warming hues are used for more social and collaborative spaces. Calming pinks and greens are introduced in areas for more individual, focused and desk based work.
Throughout, the colour palette and style is peppered with biophilic design touches to induce a feeling of calm and retain a connection to nature.

Carefully curated furniture to support working styles and create a
high-end aesthetic
Great furniture selection was critical to contributing to the overall high-end function and design aesthetic. Classic and modern pieces were instrumental in communicating the overall feeling of the considered, contemporary space. Meeting spaces and outward facing spaces for collaborative work and visitors are welcoming, with rich colour and plush, warm furniture.
This wise investment into stylish yet durable pieces of furniture that are built to last means that the items can stay with the company should they expand beyond their current office. This approach creates a more sustainable project, reducing waste and lowering the future carbon footprint.
Hardworking, functional pieces like the developer’s sit-stand desks in open work areas were finished with soft-touch Forbo and given acoustic partitions that chimed with the colour of the zone and gave privacy for focused working.
Linear table systems in oak and elegant office chairs were used in co-working zones where visitors and employees could more casually drop in.
Bespoke elements are found throughout the space with rugs from FLOOR_STORY found in more social and collaborative spaces. We also carefully selected artwork from trilitech’s own NFT selection and combined them with vintage computational photography which added a sense of quirkiness and fun to the space.
“One of the great things about working with Trifle* was the care and attention they took over realising our design vision; we were given many brilliant options to choose from with all finishes and furniture. They worked with us to select furniture that is classic and will stand the test of time, that is functional and robust but also stylish and befitting of our culture and brand.”
