WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample pr

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample provided inspiration for the colourful fit-out of the Ultimate Security head office in Sydney. @inspiredspacesaus and Milliken closely collaborated to bring the vibrant vision to life.

Inspiration can sometimes spring from surprising places – and for the vibrant fit-out for the new Ultimate Security headquarters in Sydney’s Concord, it came from a Milliken carpet sample. The brief to interior design studio Inspired Spaces was to create an open-plan workplace to serve the company both now and in the future, with additional space that would be attractive as a leasing destination and allow for expansion.

The result is a visually exciting scheme across the 2,000-square-metre space, elevated through a bold approach to colour. The monochromatic backdrop – think greys and whites offset by graphic black crittal-style window frames and shelving for verdant greenery – comes to life through pops of warm oranges, yellow, and reds that echo the colours in the Milliken carpet.

Milliken’s Creo range evokes the famous street art of Brazil and – in keeping with the company’s focus on giving designers choices that allow them to express themselves – is offered in three colourways and three pattern families.
