# Illustration-Covered Offices This Whimsical Office Design Mirrors the Identity of the Company By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-07-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-office References: [officesnapshots](https://officesnapshots.com/2016/07/11/equator-design-offices-chicago/) & [eastlakestudio](http://eastlakestudio.com/) Designed by Eastlake Studio for the packaging design company '[Equator Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pet-grooming-system)' in Chicago, this whimsical office has walls that are covered in various types of art. With the packaging and design brand facing a redesigning of its own, Equator Design chose to mirror its office with its brand identity. The whimsical office now has several artistic features -- including black and white illustrations on the walls, doors in the shape of English telephone booths, walls adorned with photography and hallways covered in different styles and sizes of mirrors and mirror frames. Most of the office follows a [neutral color theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drama-republic) with grays, whites and blacks -- making the random pops of color in the illustrations and decor stand out. This quirky office perfectly represents the company's brand identity and purpose. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 70% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Art-infused Offices:** Opportunity for office designs that incorporate art and creativity to reflect a company's brand identity and values. - **Whimsical Workspace:** Innovative office environments that embrace whimsy and playfulness to foster creativity and boost employee morale. - **Creative Office Decor:** Growing demand for unique and visually-stimulating office decor that enhances the overall work experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in offering specialized design services to create art-inspired office spaces that align with company branding. - **Artificial Intelligence:** AI-powered tools can be developed to curate and recommend art pieces that match a company's brand identity and aesthetic preferences. - **Employee Engagement:** Companies can explore new employee engagement strategies by integrating art and creative elements into their workspaces to enhance productivity and inspire innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Incredibly Colorful Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-office.md) - [Ultra-Playful Studio Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-workspace.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Bright Colorful Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-sm.md) - [Contrasting Workspace Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-interior.md) - [Youthful-Inspired Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esalco-logistics.md) - [Reinvented Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mislad.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Confectionary Office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritter-sport-schokozentrale.md)
