Atrium Office Camden

Atrium Office Camden

Atrium Office, Camden

June 2016

We’ve created a new co-working space for entrepreneurs, startups and creatives. Situated in the heart of Stables Market, Camden the Atrium, Interchange’s flagship building offers a range of facilities across four floors, including 600 work stations (both in private offices and hot desking areas).

“Interchange's co-working and shared workspace environment allows some of Camden Market to evolve beyond food, retail and tourism to provide space for other types of activities, lending even more diversity to the extraordinary mix of activity in this teeming mix of creativities.”

“The quickly changing nature of workspace and the opportunities presented by this are interesting to us both from a product design and interior design perspective – wherever change happens designers get a chance to be relevant.” – Tom Dixon

Custom furniture played a big part in the project., We have developed two desks and a new desk light as well as incorporating some of our existing products. The Atrium features 300 Y chairs, new Wingbacks and the Bell table light appears in all of the offices in the Triangle building.

The Y chair balances the three most important requirements demanded of a contract chair: durability, a striking silhouette and an ergonomic form, is used extensively across the Atrium.

Ever adaptable, in Camden, the Wingback has become the ultimate co-working chair, providing comfort and privacy within an open plan space.

The Bell Table light, used throughout the office is a dome suspended over a dome formed of chrome plated pressed steel. Its hyper-polished, mirrored and reflective surface allows it to take the tone and characteristics of its surrounding area.

Atrium's Camden Market location – where it joins existing Interchange hubs Triangle and Utopia, which also contain contributions from Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio – was a key attraction for us. Camden Market's history as a hub for commerce, transport and technology since the industrial revolution appealed to us from a conceptual point of view, and it's more recent past as a place for radical music, fashion and retail makes it a great backdrop for the fast moving and impatient world of start-ups and tech companies.
