Lojistic 3.0

 

Lojistic 3.0 Newport Beach is the design challenge.  A not so permanent, furniture design that solves acoustics, spatial definition of offices and breaks down for a wide open space.

The concept started with this sketch.  
Recently the Lojistic headquarters moved to Park City, Utah.  So we thought it’d be awesome to give a subtle nod to that through the design.  Next element of inspiration is that the leaders of this company are know for enjoying adventure, of both land and sea varieties.  So we created these rolling hills, mountains or waves based on the latitude of Park City.  

Next up we wanted to solve site lines inside the office with acoustics and so we came up with this idea of panelizing in a stained glass kind of way.  Allowing us to create and void site lines where we needed and infilling with acoustical absorption.  

Bring in some color, blues that we’ve established throughout each of their office designs… and we have the concept.

 
 

The reality started with Luke, Matt and I having a design charrette in the space one Spring evening.
Matt is one of my favorite fabricators to work with.  He is behind so many of our one of kind projects.  Never saying no to a big idea, we worked through a lot of options that night.  And Luke being the great instigator, documented some of the fun. 

 
 

And lastly the installation.
A happy, inspired and lasting client is why we do this.  It almost feels weird to refer to Luke as a client, he’s more of a longtime friend that repeatedly asks us to design for him.  And here’s a video he sent us of the office in Newport Beach, CA.
