Meet

Curated by

Whilst the current image of workplace collaboration is seen as open plan and funky furniture, so much still happens in the boardroom. The MEET experience, designed by Defurb, will pay homage to one of the oldest forms of getting folk together.

Defurb are a small boutique design studio based in Cheshire who are passionate about understanding company DNA and approach for every project in a collaborative style. Defurb love to create smart environments, drawing on the energies and ideas of the surrounding landscapes and the people who occupy these environments.

My inspiration behind the design of the MEET experience was marshmallows – the good old fashioned sweet.

Soft in colour and soft in texture. They make me smile so I’m hoping the experience will make people smile too!
