The CEO of LGM Adam Hill wanted a space that represented the fact that the company provides warranties and solutions for [automotive brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tech-center). As a result, much of the space has car-themed elements. This comes in the form of shattered glass panels to represent windshield repair, [refurbished car engines as decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-capsule-1) and table bases and vintage seat belts that function as privacy dividers. A unique addition to the LGM office that is seemingly unrelated to cars is the life-sized chess game that is set up in the office's outdoor patio. This office's design allows it to remain on-brand while functioning as a space that is productive, collaborative and playful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Automotive-inspired Office Design:** Designing office spaces with automotive-themed décor and elements can help companies to remain on-brand and create a productive, collaborative, and playful atmosphere. - **Upcycling in Corporate Interior Design:** Reusing used car parts and turning them into office décor items and furniture can create a unique and creative office atmosphere while promoting sustainability. - **Theme-based Office Design:** Designing an office space based on a theme related to the company's core business can increase brand recognition and create a memorable experience for employees and visitors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Corporate Interior Design:** Interior design firms can explore the use of upcycling and theme-based design to offer creative and unique office designs that meet the branding needs of their corporate clients. - **Automotive Industry:** Automotive brands can partner with design firms to create office spaces with automotive-themed décor that promote their brand and products and enhance brand recognition among their clients. - **Sustainability Consulting:** Sustainability consulting firms can promote upcycling and sustainable interior design practices as a way to reduce waste and promote environmental responsibility in corporate culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Slick Auto Retail Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latelier-alpine.md) - [Modern Deco Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newgen.md) - [Californian Modern Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job.md) - [Driver Seat-Inspired Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-office-chair.md) - [70s-Inspired Rustic Law Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/century-city-law.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Automobile Company Turkey Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-office.md) - [Tech-Centric Automotive Retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-kelowna.md)
