At the heart of this innovative workspace lies the Bobbin Hub, which serves as the main lounge area for the company. This vibrant space is designed to welcome visitors, host meetings and events, and provide employees with an inviting area to relax and socialize. Rather than a formal reception area, a built-in reception desk has been ingeniously designed as an extension of the wall surface, allowing for a flexible transition between distinct space zones. Behind this reception desk, movable chairs and coffee tables encourage casual meetings and discussions, while the warm wood surfaces on the walls and furniture, complemented by dark carpeting, create a laid-back yet professional ambiance. Adjacent to the lounge, three meeting spaces—one large and two small—cater to various group sizes, with the large conference room featuring recessed linear lighting inspired by the company’s logo.

The Bobbin Lab houses the main office area and a dedicated maker space, designed with collaboration in mind. The main office is spatially defined by expanded metal ceiling panels and dark carpeting, which harmonize in both form and color. The adjacent maker space is separated by a glass partition, allowing for visual access while providing an acoustic barrier. This strategic design promotes collaboration and synchronization among team members, fostering an environment where ideas can flourish. The vibrant orange accent color used throughout echoes the company’s theme and pays homage to the research institution where the founders honed their skills. This area, defined by the orange hue and enhanced with recessed LED linear lighting, creates an inspiring atmosphere perfect for showcasing newly prototyped products.
