Take a Seat – Research Booklet

A big part of the reasoning behind both the design of the paterns and the selection of the color palette has to do with understanding Talley and Park shops as a study space. Both spaces can, at times, be very overwhelming, and especially because our proposed solution involves applying a pattern and color directly to workspaces, it was important to be mindful of the potential impact of those colors and patterns.

With specific regard to the rest of Talley’s patterns and colors, the finalized tabletop designs have productivity in mind. The cooler colors help users focus on their work, and the nonobtrusive patterns stand out enough to be noticeable but also don’t take away from the user’s ability to focus.

In this way, the intervention hardly seems like an intervention— it blends in perfectly to its setting, and it makes communicating easier for everyone in the space.
