Fairtrade
Design with Purpose
The Fairtrade Foundation’s former home was an outdated space that was too big for their team and didn’t showcase the work at the core of what they do. When their lease came to an end, they took the opportunity to start afresh in a new space in East London. That’s where we came in.
The design brings Fairtrade’s voice and values to life, with the front of house and meeting rooms celebrating the stories of producers from around the world. A connecting staircase and hanging plants link the upper and lower floors, while biophilic elements bring a sense of wellbeing throughout.
Bold moments, including a bright yellow meeting room with a playful hanging banana ceiling, sit alongside flexible hot-desking and permanent workspaces. Phone booths feature Fairtrade packaging from across the globe, while a bespoke graffiti wall and graffiti staircase add personality and energy to the space.
