Ippolito Fleitz Group’s new HQ for global paint manufacturer Wörwag

The renewed office headquarters meet demands of modern work environments while paying a colourful tribute to the company’s unique identity

by Georgina Johnston 12 January 2021

The atrium greets you with a backdrop of illuminated shelving that would pass as a collection of ‘objets trouvés’ from German industry: paint samples, a washing machine door, a driver’s cab. 

The space is a coworking space, lunch location and chat corner in one and the open façades allow passers-by to be a part of what is happening inside. 

Everything has been done to ensure that employees feel perfectly at home on the three office floors, addressing the brief to create a space that moves with the times and promotes highly efficient working practices. 

The spatial response is a sophisticated open-office concept and a gigantic colour chart that spans the entire ceiling. This not only highlights the specific competence of Wörwag, it also zones the space for the individual teams. A total of 40 fabrics in 70 colours has been integrated here. While transparent conference rooms in the hallways ensure that every employee remains part of a whole, even when they are in a meeting.

The office levels are now a mix of open and closed areas that offer employees a diversity of retreat options, from cosy alcoves to the conference room, the use of which can be digitally timed on the door.
