POLAND Grainy effect for Viterra

Viterra operates in 35 countries and is active in the grains, oilseed, vegetables, sugar, rice, cotton, vegetable oil and biodiesel markets.

The entire office space, located on the 14th floor of the building, has been decorated with openwork panels separating individual zones, as well as wall panels. All are made out of PET bottles, produced using recycled plastic and which are highly sound-absorbent. The furniture used also fits into Viterra's re-use policy as it includes ergonomic desks that were used for a short period by another company.

When designing Viterra’s offices, we decided to reference the industries the company specialises in and the colours of fields from a bird's eye view, including golden grain and green grass, complementing them with accents in cobalt and dark green.

The heart of the office is the reception zone – an integration and interaction area for the entire team. The common space has been fitted with colourful armchairs and pouffes as well as seats mounted on the walls. The telephone booths and conference rooms next to the reception have been given acoustic linings and wooden slats on the ceilings. The space also includes two kitchens and a 180 sqm terrace on the 15th floor. Relaxation zones with loungers as well as greenery are also to be added.

The goal set for us was to adapt the office for contemporary hybrid work trends, enabling employees to fully return to stationary work in the future. We decided to divide the space into zones intended for focused work as well as active, loud and energetic cooperation.
