Runway East Bloomsbury Offices – London
Interaction and Runway East collaborated on the vibrant and quirky design of a central London coworking space, featuring unique seating areas, themed meeting rooms, and colorful artwork for a playful yet functional environment.
Runway East, the UK’s fastest-growing co-working space provider, has successfully completed its ninth project in collaboration with Interaction. The latest Runway East venture is in central London, just minutes from Tottenham Court Road. As is always the case with Runway East projects, the result is a quirky and colourful coworking space filled with personality.
Runway East co-working offices are designed to nurture a sense of community and collaboration. Varied seating options provide areas for social gatherings, and the three tea points, each with a distinct identity, encourage spontaneous interactions among members. The offices feature 38 differently sized meeting rooms and 12 focus rooms, accommodating various work styles, whether for focused individual work or collaborative projects.
A childlike sense of fun has been injected into the space – from the meeting rooms named after famous books including Winnie the Pooh and Little Women, to a floor-to-ceiling framed artwork turned disguised doorway. Arty Guava hand painted the vibrant mural which provides the backdrop to the largest communal area, filling the space with colour. Her work also continues in framed prints and smaller-scale murals in 1-2-1 rooms.
The colour palette of greens, oranges and dusty pinks paired with patterned wallpapers and unique floor tiling give this workspace a unique sense of personality, whilst also providing a calming backdrop to focused work. Take a seat in the iconic Boho chair by Frovi, or gather at the tea point bar with friends on the Clover barstools. Step through the hidden doorway disguised as a painting – the stuff of childhood dreams. Eclectic styling, including dried flowers and framed prints of Winnie the Pooh help give the space personality.
