Freshly opened in Clerkenwell, Thirdway`s new headquarters poses an interesting question...⁠
⁠
If you`re designing workplaces for other people, what should your own office say about you?⁠
⁠
For Thirdway, the answer was to create a headquarters that reflects the way the business works today, bringing together architecture, interiors, branding, furniture and technology under one roof.⁠
⁠
Designed around the idea of a `home for the office`, the space balances collaboration, creativity and wellbeing, while acting as a living showcase of Thirdway`s multidisciplinary approach to workplace design.⁠
⁠
When designers become their own client, every decision carries a little more weight and the result offers an inspiring insight into how today`s workplace is evolving.⁠
⁠

⁠
In our exclusive interview, Tabitha Isobel takes us behind the design of LESTRANGE`s The Apartment, sharing how the original brief shaped every decision, from the layout and lighting to the vintage furniture and hospitality-inspired experience.⁠
⁠
Rather than talking about aesthetics alone, Tabitha offers an honest insight into the thinking behind the project, exploring how great retail design is about creating an atmosphere that makes people feel welcome.⁠
⁠
It`s a fascinating conversation about restraint, materiality, customer experience and the role physical retail continues to play in an increasingly digital world.⁠
