# Playfully Contemporary Offices The One Workplace Headquarters by Design Blitz is a Showy Showroom By Meghan Young | Published 2013-07-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-workplace-headquarters References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2013/07/18/one-workplace-headquarters-by-design-blitz/) & [designblitzsf](http://www.designblitzsf.com/) The quote, 'Work hard, play harder,' seems quite adequate when it comes to the One Workplace Headquarters. Although it doesn't necessarily come close to [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-view) Campuses when it comes to its facilities, the fun design of the space will certainly breed just as much creativity while also promoting a relaxed environment for both employees and customers. Designed by [Design Blitz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/material-exhibition-space), the One Workplace Headquarters is located in Santa Clara, California. As the largest furniture dealer in Northern California and the single source for [Steelcase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tegeta) furniture in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was only appropriate that its main office got the facelift that it did. The designers write, "No longer a static showroom, the working showroom needed to demonstrate what is possible when great minds come together within the context of a multi-disciplinary design lab." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Contemporary Office Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop flexible office spaces that promote collaboration and creativity. - **Creating a Relaxed Work Environment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design workspaces that prioritize employee well-being, leading to increased productivity and job satisfaction. - **Showroom as a Productive Space:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transform traditional showrooms into interactive, working environments to showcase products and foster client engagement. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and modular solutions into office furniture designs to meet the evolving needs of modern workplaces. - **Architecture & Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unconventional office layouts and incorporate elements of nature to enhance employee well-being and creativity. - **Commercial Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine the concept of office space by offering flexible leasing options and hybrid environments that cater to diverse companies' needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Californian Modern Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job.md) - [Playful Futuristic Work Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone.md) - [Playful Contemporary Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-contemporary-office.md) - [Contemporary interactive workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-workspace.md) - [Bright Creative Office Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv.md) - [Colorful Creative Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office.md) - [Californian-Inspired Office Space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximum-effort.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Contemporary Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officetopia.md)
