We always thought that fables anthropomorphized animals, plants and
inanimate objects, giving them human-like character. For us, the word
fable evokes thoughts of rich, organic color - a sort of Cirque du
Soleil Varekai world. So when we heard that the new office of the
Amsterdam-based UXUS Design was inspired by the fables, we expected a riot of color.
Instead, we saw a predominantly white interior with transparent walls,
white, gauzy drapery and residential-style floor lamps. A few wall
graphics and some organic furnishings do give a nod to nature and,
without doubt, the office is a cool background for colorful ideas.
It is a stylish base for UXUS, founded in 2003 by USA-born co-creative
director Georg Anthony Gottl, Costa Rica native Erica Gottl, and
French-born co-creative director Oliver J.P. Michell. Their collective
experience spans the globe and their work includes interiors,
architecture, retail, hospitality, identity, graphics and packaging
projects for clients such as Levi's, Nokia and Adidas. By Tuija Seipell.
