For Wildflower, the office is more than a workplace. It’s a space where clients experience the company’s approach to furniture procurement, styling and interior curation before a project even begins.

Designed in collaboration with workplace consultancy Made For, the new Melbourne headquarters functions equally as office and showroom. Every room has been considered as an extension of the Wildflower brand, demonstrating how furniture and materiality can shape the atmosphere of a workplace without overwhelming it.

Visitors arrive via a narrow staircase finished with a tri-coloured carpet before entering an interior where colour is used sparingly but confidently. The project centres on a handful of finishes, allowing furniture, artwork and client presentations to remain the focus.

Laminex Blackbutt TrueScale™ in an AbsoluteGrain® finish is used extensively throughout the joinery, bringing warmth and texture to the workspace, while Laminex Steel Blue cabinetry introduces moments of contrast within the kitchen. Laminex Paperbark surfaces define the desks, with Pale Honey lining the cabinetry interiors—a subtle detail that reinforces the project’s careful approach to material selection.

The workplace was also designed to support the practical realities of Wildflower’s business. As furniture and styling pieces frequently move in and out for projects, the studio needed spaces that could adapt quickly while still presenting a polished environment for clients.

This balance between functionality and expression is particularly evident in the boardroom and kitchen. A neutral meeting space is paired with a striking red island bench that immediately establishes the studio’s playful character, while steel-framed ripple glass doors and aluminium shelving introduce additional texture without competing with the curated furniture and artwork throughout.

Those curated pieces naturally become part of the architectural experience. Seating from Grazia & Co, the Gio LN14 pendant by &Tradition and artworks by Alexia Vogel, Sarah Contos and Dane Lovett reinforce Wildflower’s approach of blurring the line between residential and commercial interiors, creating a workplace that feels collected rather than styled.

While colour provides moments of impact, restraint ultimately defines the project. A tightly edited palette allows the office to evolve alongside the changing furniture, artwork and objects that pass through the studio, ensuring the space remains both a functional workplace and a living representation of Wildflower’s design philosophy.
