product of the environment

So, stressful Wednesday this will be referred to from now on. Not going into it, but needless to say I’m not a fkn happy chap. People tell you something, tell it you wrong, then it is denied, meaning you have to fly to London at great cost, they deny it was wrong in the first place. Anyway, everyone gets landed in shit at some point. Just seems to be more than often with me.

OK, well stopping the bull shit now. This is something awesome. It’s a web gallery of the new office for Googles’ Swiss operation in Zurich. I work in the creative industries and know the value of a great place to work. The way “stuff” can help to propagate ideas and make them flourish. Needless to say this place looks amazing. The picture above is an example of their informal meeting areas. I would settle for one of those Taxi things.

Thing is, if you can get this kind of idea of an ideal work place past a boss who thinks that a 4m square desk with nothing upon it except a monitor, is needed to display creativity, then you are a genius. If your gaffer understands the concept of inspiration then try. You might just end up working in a place that looks like a giant playground, like these lucky bastards.

Anyway, feeling bitter about stuff at the mo, so click the pic above to go to the picture gallery that the kind (and somewhat braggy) people at Google Switzerland have created for our visual delight.

Help keep the children of the world fed, keep them warm and loved by using design as a giant edible blanket in which to wrap them.
