The vibrant colours of Forbo Flooring Systems’ Marmoleum Modular portfolio led the interior designers HLW, to specify the floor covering to distinguish different working areas within London-based company, Neoworks. By creating an array of bright colours in an elaborate zigzag design, HLW has managed to produce a sophisticated but lively office interior.
Leading the way in e-commerce, Neoworks has progressively expanded over the course of the last five years - out growing its previous offices. The company’s new home at City Tower in London provides flexibility for continued growth whilst providing an opportunity to create an office environment that better reflects Neoworks’ culture and brand.
Neoworks appointed the team at HLW to help transform their new space. Fleur Peck, Associate at HLW, commented: “Moving into a new working space gave Neoworks the perfect opportunity to provide a collaborative environment; that would support the way the company worked, reflect the company’s brand and ethos, as well as provide a space that their staff members could be proud of. Part of this design process lead to defining space types specific to different types of activities. Using a variety of floor coverings to differentiate areas of high collaboration brought colour, vibrancy and definition to the key social areas on the floor. This assisted in eliminating the need to build physical walls to establish meeting space, and so helped to maintain the collaborative approach Neoworks required.”
Thanks to the ease of installation, its sustainability characteristics and most importantly the vivacity of colours, the HLW design team specified Forbo’s Marmoleum Modular in a variety of colours.
Fleur concluded: “We were keen to find a product which supported our aspiration for ease of installation, as well as a palette which brought energy and liveliness into the space. After being introduced to the modular tile formats from Forbo, we knew it would meet our objectives and allow the installation to be more streamlined – the flooring was laid and ready to walk on in under a week!”
“The overall flooring design could not have been achieved without Forbo’s large colour palette. It has produced a truly dynamic design solution which has helped to produce a strong base for Neoworks new office to be centred around.”
