This NYC office  is just how I imagine one to be; exposed brick, cement floors, and tall airy ceilings. I probably don’t even need to mention that I love the exposed brick, but I’ll do so anyway. Some of you probably already recognize the Ikea furniture, but it wasn’t just a trip to Ikea that brought this space together. The folks over at SheFinds Media actually worked with Ikea Designers to mold this loft into a modern, chic workspace.

As interviewed by Sayeh, The Office Stylist with Michelle Madhok CEO of SheFinds Media

Describe your office space to us

Our office is an airy loft, with tons of windows and a glass-walled conference room. When we got the space, it was actually several very small rooms, with some of the windows boarded over and the charming red brick painted over in a dingy white. We exposed the brick and the extra windows, knocked down the walls, and gave the whole space a much more modern, downtown feel.

Where did the inspiration for your office space design come from?

IKEA was a wonderful partner in helping us renovate the space. We worked with their designers to make sure the space was functional and attractive – classic IKEA style. The walls and floors also take inspiration from IKEA’s pared-down aesthetic: We have cement-and-wood floors, and an exposed-brick wall adjacent to a full wall of windows.

What is your favorite part/design of your office space and why? i.e. the arched window in the front office, etc.

I love the wood half of the floor and the exposed brick wall. They’re nods to my more classic style, while the taste of my husband, who is our COO, is reflected in the cement wall half of the floor and the sleek, minimalist furniture.

Do you feel that having a well designed and inspiring office has changed the way you and your employees work?

Having a space of our own is a huge productivity boon; when we shared office space in a different building, employees couldn’t leave anything at work, and we had conflicts about which of the tenants was using the conference room. It’s much more comfortable for us to bring potential partners into this space than it was the last one – the design reflects the SHEfinds brand, and sets the right tone for conversations about who we are as a company.
