A Modern Workplace Puts Acoustics on the Grid
At the offices of a financial firm in Chicago, a perfect balance of light and dark tones and mixed materials creates a uniquely inviting space that feels both open and intimate. Upon entry, ARO Grid 1 in a rich, moody grey substrate pulls double duty. The graphic angles play with light and shadow, drawing the eye to the dynamic patterning overhead while the installation works its sound-softening magic in a bustling workspace. The rich and textured tones of the substrate in 03 Dark Grey complement the surfaces, materials, and upholstery that line the adjacent spaces.
Designed by Whitney, an architecture and design firm in Chicago, the office’s aesthetic reflects the team’s consistent focus on blending innovation with tradition and modern aesthetics with a timeless charm, creating spaces that inspire and enhance daily life.
