# Thematic Underwater Office Designs This Office Has Features That Give It an Under the Sea Theme By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-08-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-office References: [officesnapshots](https://officesnapshots.com/2016/08/04/interush-headquarters-irvine/) & [interush](http://www.interush.com/en/index.php) This underwater office theme is subtle but adds a touch of vibrancy to this otherwise standard office space. While most of the tech company Interush's office is quite sterile, the [California-based company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job) employed LPA Inc. to focus on Feng Shui in the development of this [new office design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office). Feng Shui is a Chinese practice that involves harmony in design and environments. The resulting office space is at times stark but simultaneously calming -- with soft hues and minimalist designs. The [under-the-sea theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskterior) of this office is apparent alongside the Feng Shui, with ocean blue colors decorating the lobby, surfboards that make up a wall and lamps in the lounge area that offer the same effect as light refracted underwater. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Underwater Office Designs:** There is a growing trend towards under the sea themed office designs that can add vibrancy and calmness to office spaces. - **Feng Shui in Office Design:** Feng Shui is becoming an increasingly important consideration in office design to create harmonious and calming environments for employees. - **Minimalist Office Design:** Minimalist office design is a trend that has gained popularity in recent years, focusing on simple and uncluttered spaces that facilitate productivity and creativity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms can explore the trend of underwater and Feng Shui-influenced office designs to offer unique and innovative solutions to clients. - **Office Furniture:** Office furniture companies can offer products that suit minimalist office design, such as simple and functional desks, chairs and storage solutions. - **Lighting:** Lighting companies can create customized lighting solutions that replicate the calming effect of light refracted underwater to enhance the ambiance of office spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Self-Designed Tranquil Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-saransh.md) - [Mindful Study Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-study-space.md) - [Incredibly Colorful Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-office.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Sustainably Designed Mumbai Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office27.md) - [Playful Contemporary Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-contemporary-office.md) - [Japanese Garden-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitsui-co.md) - [Colorful Creative Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office.md)
