toms shoes TOMs Shoes, grounded in the motto of “one-for-one�, was in need of a creative, collaborative and environmentally conscious office space that would fulfill their aesthetic needs as well as functional needs. A collaborative office was achieved through an open-space plan with elements of acoustical privacy, plenty of impromptu meeting spots and a large community building break room. Non-Toxic paints and adhesives were used throughout the space in conjunction with FSC certified woods, and repurposed or antique furniture, to maintain a healthy environment. The overall design of the office is in keeping with the aesthetic of TOMs shoes and is one that will be flexible to changing company policies and needs.

This was a collaborative project between 3 interior design students and 3 graphic design students.

The Celtic culture is rich in metal-work, fireplaces as well as hand-crafted metal sculptures represent that history throughout the space.
