Last week we attended the launch of Workplace, a temporary exhibition of ideas, furniture and interior design for the place where we seem to spend more and more hours every day.
Wallpaper Magazine hosted a fabulous party with drinks and nibbles showcasing an inspiring interior design. Every element from the desks to the chairs and storage were chosen for their design and functionality. Three different yet equally inspiring areas were designed to create the fabulously original work spaces.
Dominic McCartney designed a creative display of plants and containers provided by The Chelsea Gardener for the exhibition. Here are a few images to show you the process from start to finish:

With this post we thought it would be appropriate to communicate the importance of a healthy and pleasant work space – not only does it increase productivity but also people’s wellbeing.
In this competitive and ruthless world, big companies have been implementing many changes in the offices. From Google to Amazon, the working spaces tend to be more relaxed, full of colour and less restrictive and serious.
And here is where plants play a very special role. In addition to the obvious benefit of purifying the air, they also provide visual improvement. And the options are as wide as your imagination can reach which is why we recommend hiring a professional to choose the right plants for your particular space.
The plants frame every space adding a touch of green. Some plants of interest used in this project are the Yucca rostrata (Grass Tree), Yucca elephantipes, Trachycarpus fortunei and Cyca revoluta.
Here is an example of a very apealing break area in Hong Kong (Lane Crawford offices):
