“‘Long-term, sustainable entrepreneurial thinking and action is one of START Global’s core values, which is why we have equipped our campus almost exclusively with second-hand furniture.’ (…) Question: What feedback have you received from users and visitors to the space so far? – The users immediately felt at home and visitors have been very enthusiastic and like to come by for a coffee in addition to official events. That makes us happy because we’ve tried to create a place that people also enjoy using in their free time. The boundaries between work, eating, learning, relaxing, socialising, partying … are very fluid.’ Roland Schönholzer, Member Board of Trustees, START Foundation” Vitra Homepage

The Royal College of Art was founded in 1837 as the Government School of Design. Granted a Royal Charter and university status in 1967, today the RCA remains the world’s most influential postgraduate institution of art and design. The RCA’s new Battersea campus is the manifestation of a bold vision that unites art and design with science, technology, mathematics and medicine, providing an academic home to a diverse range of students – from computer scientists, robotics engineers and product designers to writers, curators and sculptors.
Designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, the campus adds 15,500 m2 to the footprint of the university, delivering enhanced workshop and studio infrastructure for students and offering social and educational spaces as a meeting point for talent and ideas.
‘No one comes back to the office just for a desk. At On Labs, we focus on social interaction among our diverse team. Living our culture together ensures that we remain innovative and creative.’

“Vitra’s Club Office: using our own spaces as a testing ground for our Research & Design team, Vitra’s Consulting & Planning team has built the first Club Office at our head office in Birsfelden, near Basel, Switzerland.
