Stanley/Stella
Sustainable fashion trailblazers Stanley Stella commits themselves to producing high-quality, eco-friendly garments. Championing transparency and ethical practices, it’s no surprise that the Brussels HQ genuinely reflects the brand’s values.
A new Birmingham office was the perfect opportunity to extend their vision into a fresh space, mirroring successful elements of the HQ while also addressing the needs of the growing UK team. We needed to maintain their strong identity, incorporate sustainable practices, and create a workspace that works harder for employee and client engagement. After a HQ visit to understand their culture, work style and design preferences, we held vision workshops to explore expectations and uncover how the office could best support work processes, collaboration and reinforce their commitment to sustainability.
We set about bringing in new and relevant elements for Birmingham while being guided by continuity. Serving as a dynamic space, the showroom stands out for showcasing clothing alongside a lounge with TV for relaxed, comfortable discussions and presentations. Interactive and immersive displays encourage engagement. This is a space designed to captivate and engage, while introducing and reinforcing brand values through thoughtful presentation and design.
For the office, we created flexible, functional and diverse work areas. Ergonomic furniture and modern tech support solo and collaborative work. Private offices allow for quiet and focus. Meeting rooms with touchscreen displays and the latest video conferencing tech offer seamless, global communication. Every decision and consideration, from furniture to finishes, was chosen with environmental impact in mind. We always suggest eco-friendly materials and products, and they now enhance this office’s environmental performance.
By integrating sustainable practices, modern technology and engaging design elements, we’ve been able to create a functional, conforming, and inspiring space. Our analysis, design, fit out, and furniture solutions all came together to not only meet operational needs, but surpass expectations and support long-term values and vision. It’s all possible when there’s successful synergy between a client’s vision and our design! Here’s to Stanley Stella’s continued growth and success in their new UK office.
