Because [creative offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv) need creative interiors, I’m not surprised that the London design studio Featherstone Young has created such a cool concept for the Wieden + Kennedy office.

Dubbed ‘The Cole,’ the new Wieden + Kennedy office now has [mezzanine floors with a flexible auditorium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone) that can fit up to 160 people. The stairs are colorful and block-like, which brings to mind [LEGOs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/center-center)—perfect for a company like Wieden + Kennedy which aims to foster future creative talent and provide young people the chance to work alongside their team.
