Ceremony of Roses offices by 22RE feature 1970s-influenced meeting spaces

Los Angeles studio 22RE has included a "huddle room" that resembles a sunken living room at the offices for a creative music agency.

The offices within a 1950s factory in Culver City were designed for Ceremony of Roses, an artist merchandising and brand services company for top music creatives.

Working with creative director Madeline Denley of creative consultancy Never Far Studios, 22RE completely overhauled the 7,000 square feet (650 square metres) of space to create four executive offices, six communal desks, a showroom, a conference room, a huddle room and a listening room.

"The project was a full-scale, wall-to-wall customisation where we got to dig into functional priorities while maximising visual appeal and comfort," said 22RE principal Dean Levin.

The main communal workspace occupies a large, lofted central room illuminated by skylights between the exposed wooden ceiling rafters.

Reaching past a minimalist white oak reception desk, the open area features custom aluminium desks and cabinets accompanied by Eames Management chairs atop a raw concrete floor.

On either side, open and closed storage is provided by millwork cabinets and titanium travertine shelves.

A row of executive offices, visible through tall glass panels, are furnished with a mix of French and Italian modernist pieces.

A freestanding structure built from dark-stained white oak houses a conference room, which holds a burl wood table and six Pierre Jeanneret floating-back chairs.

Maple wall panels complement the brown carpet, and a spherical Akari lamp is suspended overhead to give the space a warm glow.

On the other side of the communal work area is a kitchen, where the same material palette of white oak and titanium travertine continues.

A matte aluminium dining table with matching curved-back chairs – another set of 22RE custom designs – provides a space for employees to eat and congregate.

The listening room is decorated entirely in a chocolate brown hue, with walnut panelling, carpet and upholstery on the built-in, U-shaped sofa all carefully chosen for a monochrome effect and optimum acoustics.

"The ceilings maximize sound quality, with angles implemented to reverberate music as top creatives gather to experience albums – which also accessorize the shelved wall – on vinyl," said 22RE.

The "huddle room" is modelled on a 1970s sunken lounge, evidenced by its low wraparound sofa modules upholstered in pale green mohair.

A custom aluminium table referencing designs by Oscar Niemeyer was placed in the center and a vintage Akari light by Isamu Noguchi hangs above.

"The space's soft and hard, warm and cold elements amplify the contrast of the warm wood and industrial materials that are apparent across the office interiors," said the studio.

In stark contrast to the rest of the office, bathrooms are enveloped floor-to-ceiling in vibrant blue, including three-inch Japanese ceramic tiles.

22RE's previous projects include a golf clothing boutique in Miami with pale-green stucco surfaces informed by the sport and the city.

Other offices in LA with unexpected interiors include the Century City offices of an entertainment law firm, which also have a 1970s vibe.
