We’re chuffed to bits to have been awarded silver in the ‘Best Interiors’ category at the Roses Design Awards, held on the 23rd of October. The award will take pride of place on our bookcase in studio, alongside our Nottingham Creative Business Award that we won earlier in the month.

The Roses Design Awards are open to any organisations outside of London, so it’s a big compliment to have our office do so well. And another good excuse for a little celebration!

We love our home here at The Old School Rooms and are thrilled to say that it has recently been nominated for two awards! The awards are ‘Best Interior’ at the Roses and ‘Architecture, Urban and Interior Design’ at the Nottingham Creative Business awards.  Watch this space to see how we get on. In the meantime, why not have a look around…

Our building began life as a school in 1870. Since then, it’s been the village cinema, the church hall, a safe-place for war evacuees and now it’s home to us, a 25 strong design team. As we searched for new premises, the priority was to be able to get the whole team under one roof in an open workspace. We wanted the design of the interior to be sensory, to stimulate creative thinking, retain the character of the building and give it a new lease of life with a design that reflects our personality – and that’s just what we’ve done.

We think these magnetic curtains by Florian Kräutli are brilliant. You can push and pull them into any shape you like, allowing you to create a real statement at your windows. The curtains are due to be put into production shortly by Amsterdam-based ‘Droog Design’. We hope they’re released soon so we can get some for the office!
