A Parisian Affair

One of Europe’s leading architectural practices, MoreySmith, talks to CW Interiors about designing the first ever global co-working space for new serviced office brand, Deskopolitan.

Touted as the official headquarters to run the three-month long presidential campaign of candidate Benoît Hamon, the global co-working space on 48 Rue du Château d’Eau is nestled in central Paris designed to fulfil the growing need for contemporary, agile working environments. “Paris is a great location for a coworking space due to the number of start-ups and fledgling businesses coming forward, as well as the number of daily international visitors who come to the city for business and require temporary workspace in the heart of the capital. It is a fairly new concept in Paris, unlike in London and New York where the concept has developed significantly in recent years”, says Linda Morey-Burrows, Principal Director at MoreySmith.

The brief from Deskopolitan was to create a space that was welcoming, unique, comfortable and sociable.
