Office.Info
Dear Reader,
Can you smell it right now - the wonderful aroma of coffee? Plenty of this stimulating drink is consumed in offices around the world, but that alone is not reason enough to dedicate an entire Office.Info to the topic. We’re much more interested in a special place that has been created around coffee: the coffee house. A site of social interaction and legendary meetings of intellectuals, a place for communication and work – join us for an exciting journey into the history and future of the coffee house. Did you know that the "flickr" Internet platform was invented in a café?
If you’ve ever used a coffee house as your office, then you know what we’re talking about. And Gregor Eichinger, a Vienna-based architect, all-round designer and specialist in everyday aesthetics, talks in an interview about his experiences and the many parallels he has discovered between the café and the office. And about a current project that – you guessed it! – was inspired by the coffee house.
Our next detour is to a coffee house: follow us to Nespresso, into an unbelievably successful world of branding filled with more than just little capsules. What else?
The soundtrack to all of this comes from Bixl, our sound spy. She has delved deeply into online music and brought an outstanding selection of high-caffeine songs to the light of day. Enjoy an earful!
A winter journey to Stockholm revolves less around coffee and more around snow: we report about the furniture trade fair there before we can welcome the oncoming spring.
Have a nice strong sip and a happy read!
