The architects’ portfolio includes the office interior projects for: BBDO GROUP, major united holding AFISHA-RAMBLER-SUP-media, advertising agencies SAATCHI & SAATCHI, LEOBURNETT, RO RE, E:MG, IMAGENCY etc.  Image Courtesy © Alexey Knyazev It this particular case, when developing the project for PUBLICISGROUPE, architects had faced and interesting challenge. There was no expressive brand-book language, as it was in LEO BURNETT project – working with it, generally,is easy and the main aim is not “to garbage” the space; There were no vivid intentions from SAATCHI & SAATCHI art-directors, that each time grant the architects freedom to create somewhat new , extra ordinary. The PUBLICIS GROUPE interior was to be created as neutral as possible: holding combines the agencies, that differ in the mood, brand identity and ideologically. In the same time, the challenge was forced by the condition to give the space capability to be personalized. Independence of the current situation, conferencesor negotiations held, the capability to bring in the signs of corporate identity  Image Courtesy © Alexey Knyazev The VOX Architects team found the laconic solution and created ART LIGHT COLOR concept. The COLOR. The main brand colors were identified from the brand-book of each holding’s company. Brand colors were sublimated into the lines, which entangle the area, like threads, changing the material of the surfaces, uniting ideo logically all PUBLICIS GROUPE brands in one space.  Image Courtesy © Alexey Knyazev The LIGHT COLOR Special lightning surfaces are used in the project,they form the structure, that unites the area. Lighting surfaces are managed by the special system that regulates the brightness of the light and tunes up any color.The space tha thas the white neutral light surface in customary modifiable to be changed dramatically due to the variation of light flow. Moreover, there is a possibility to diversify color of light in different areas. This method allows personalizing the space and making it unique!The ART. The authors were inspired by the creations of light artist James Turrell, famous for his experiments with color light, dipping the audience into realities of pure empiric experience. This time, the spectators and, moreover, participants, are the employees and guests of the holding.

These ordinary parallele pipeds from corian are led one-o-one together, expressly shifted. The seats and plenty planes of the tops are made functionally. The objects are created as sculptures, which be came an independent is of the office landscape.
