Workplace · Co-working fit-out

Bourke & Bowden

Alexandria, Sydney, Australia

Commercial floors arrive as a hard shell: concrete, glass and grid lighting. Functional, but cold. The brief for Flex-Co Working's full Level 3 floor was a space people would want to spend the day in, not just pass through.

The designer found us through the Linen Wave Pendant, then specified two across the floor. One sits above a lounge and breakout area, another over a round timber table in a corner meeting nook. The linen softens the concrete and glass and brings a residential calm to the room. It reflects a wider shift towards workplaces that feel considered rather than corporate.

Wellness · Pilates studio

Most fitness spaces feel clinical. The brief here was the opposite: warmth and calm, a studio that feels restorative the moment you walk in.

Rather than a single product, we shaped a whole relaxation corner. Soft, diffused light from the pendant overhead. A low chair to sink into. A portable lamp for a warm glow, and a chrome tray to finish the moment. Layered and considered, a world away from strip lights and rubber flooring. Wellness is a fast-growing source of trade enquiries, and spaces like this are why.
