Interior design studio The Mint List was enlisted to take on the project of designing the London-based headquarters office of music management company Everybody's. It has recently moved to a larger space on the ground floor of a former shipping depot.
The space is adorned with bespoke furniture that highlights a mid-century aesthetic. Camilla Kelly and Lucy Tudhope of the design studio head the new project. Speaking about the themes of this, Camilla Kelly notes that "We wanted to ensure that we respected the modernist nature of this industrial site, whilst integrating a sense of creativity that was absolutely key for the client." A lot of the pieces that decorate the space is modular, which allows the space to be reconfigured as needed.
