T-Mobile – an office arrangement that brings people together.

Arranging an office for brands such as T-Mobile – which are characterized by a distinctive and recognizable image – are a huge challenge. At the same time, they bring boundless satisfaction, because after all, it is unusual to be able to enchant an office space of many square meters for such a demanding, but also open-minded client. See how we carried out a successful office space project at the Warsaw headquarters of this telecommunications brand.

We connect people like T-Mobile! Graphics, glazing arrangements, wayfinding

T-Mobile Poland’s offices, located in Warsaw’s Trinity One office building, were designed by Mikomax studio in cooperation with the client’s in-house team. It featured both open plan office spaces, glass-enclosed meeting rooms of varying size, as well as common spaces such as a relaxation or exercise room. The Space Wizard team is responsible for the comprehensive office branding project: the implementation of consistent wall graphics, glazing arrangements and room signage and wayfinding.

The T-Mobile network connects people – this is what we wanted to show through the solutions proposed for the company’s Warsaw office. After analyzing the client’s needs and creating a creative brief, we jointly selected one of the proposed concepts. In our proposal, we focused on formal austerity juxtaposed with strong colors that run throughout the office. We wanted to create an office space as user-friendly as possible, as well as one that expresses the brand’s philosophy and identifies it in a clear but unobtrusive way.

Office reception arrangement

The reception area, like the entrance hall or hallway in a private home or apartment, is a company’s most important showcase. It is here that business partners experience their first contact with the office – its atmosphere, aesthetics, but also the values the company wants to convey. The decision on what this first impression should look like should therefore be grounded in the brand’s personality.

At T-Mobile, the reception space itself was decorated in an economical and functional way: the warm wooden floor harmonizes with the concrete wall of the reception area, and the strong color scheme of the minimalist furniture blends with the company’s logo. For this space, we designed a wall graphic referring to the company’s slogan: “We won’t stop until everyone is connected!”. Here, simple typography accompanies an image of a world map crisscrossed with concentric lines symbolizing the mobile network – connecting people together even in the most remote corners of the world.

Wall graphics - city maps as a metaphor for brand identity

An office is not just a space to work – it is a space created by the people in it. In T-Mobile’s Warsaw office, an employee will feel that he can be anywhere he wants. All you have to do is go from one conference room to the next… and the next.

All because the individual rooms were named after the cities in which the company has its headquarters. It is important that the idea for such naming came from the employees, who took part in a vote and together decided what names the meeting rooms would bear. As a result, employees identify with such naming. In addition, the geographic names allow them to move smoothly from one point to another. The rooms, meanwhile, have been given a clear visual differentiator – each has its own color and map in the form of wall graphics. Thanks to such a solution in the office arrangement, individual places in T-Mobile are easy to find: an employee looks for the name of the city he or she is about to go to on the signpost board, and then remembers a particular room thanks to the strong colors in it.

A map on the wall may seem like a corny idea, but we've made sure it's as modern as possible while not imposing. After all, in a conference room it's not about wiggling your finger on the map! The project was, of course, about a metaphorical reference to the idea of a global village, in which T-Mobile acts as a provider of communication solutions

Discreet directional signage - the city in the lead role

In addition to wall graphics, we took care of glazing arrangements and room signage and wayfinding. On the dark walls of the corridor appeared graphics communicating the spaces with each other. We proposed a graphic in white color with an outline of silhouettes of urban architectural landscape. It’s a visual element of the office arrangement that diversifies the space and sets directions for movement. It scrolls along the corridor – emphasizing the perspective sequence of the room. The outline of skyscraper silhouettes is also repeated on the glass doors, which we covered with a protective frosted film.

A wall full of personalities - which inspire action

Famous figures and their inspiring words are the perfect recipe for improving work in the office’s common meeting areas! We used just such a solution in one of T-Mobile’s meeting rooms, where the walls were decorated with images of personalities chosen by employees who changed the world, along with their most famous quotes. The realistic images were drawn with a simple line, while the typeface and colors used are consistent with the corporate typography used throughout the office.

The lives and achievements of these individuals are related to information technology. On the wall graphics, we highlighted women such as Margaret Heaeld Hamilton – computer scientist, software engineer and entrepreneur, who, together with the team she led, developed the software for the flight system of the “Apollo” space program, or Grace Hopper – American IT pioneer who became famous for popularizing the term “bug” in the IT vocabulary. In addition, the wall featured: Donald Knuth – American mathematician and computer scientist, known for his multi-volume work “The Art of Programming”; Linus Torvalds – creator of the Linux kernel, and Bjarne Stroustrup – Danish computer scientist, creator of the C++ programming language. Also in this good company was Marie Skłodowska-Curie – physicist, chemist and two-time Nobel Prize winner, who was voted the most influential woman in history in a poll by the British magazine BBC History, with the justification that “She changed the world not once, but twice.”

Shared spaces with a touch of humor!

In addition to functional graphics, the Space Wizard team also took care of the proper finishing touches to the exercise room and relaxation area.

The gym space could not lack graphics to encourage exercise. The light and casual illustrations allow you to take your mind off work and motivate you to exercise after a hard day.

The invaluable power of colors!

Color plays a huge role in the perception of a space – this is also the case with the office arrangement. T-Mobile’s conference rooms are dominated by white and gray, complemented by the juicy colors of the upholstery on the chairs. By using similar colors on the realized graphics, we achieved the effect of uniformity of the space, while breaking the boredom typical of minimalist office aesthetics.

And, of course, there was no way to miss the brand’s favorite color – juicy magenta! Thanks to the fact that it recurs discreetly (more or less) in our successive graphic proposals, all the branded rooms form a coherent whole.
