Who’s the boss? The presidential office, which is making a comeback. And with it, the whole retro aesthetic, from the seventies to the early 2000s. A way to resacralize the work space, whose borders are becoming increasingly blurred, and to visually ensure one’s hierarchical position.
From the fitzgeraldian universe of the Paradowski duo to the assumed Y2K minimalism of the Jacquemus offices, the Boss office requires the work of an assembler. For it is the whole environment that shapes it: thick carpeting, oversized furniture, audio system as sharp as aesthetic of mythical brands such as the Italian Brionvega, aerial forms to Pierre Paulin … everything must be there.

Gentleman style
You’d think it was straight out of an old James Bond movie, with its virile design and immaculate shine… The old-fashioned office of the retro years is making a comeback. The Paradowski studio duo has understood this and has taken inspiration from it to design its DS Office with an imposing and secure design. In the same vein, and with even more grip and glitz, the craftsman Hervet Manufacturier is behind an emblematic piece, the Président desk, made of full-grain leather and stainless steel legs.
strict minimal
The office is getting dressed up thanks to the work of contemporary designers. The design studio Halleroed is one of these new tailors of the custom-made workspace. For a New York office building, it has created furniture pieces with straight lines and solid wood, balanced by a soothing Klein blue floor.
Elysée 70′
From perfect whites to muted ecru tones, the designers paint the walls and furniture with a focus on balance and « mental dusting. » To match the mood, Brionvega doesn’t hesitate to offer technology in the same soft, restful shades.
SENSUAL PALETTE
But a serious workspace doesn’t have to be cold. And working with concentration can also be done in a pop and colorful office. That’s what Dimore studio proves with its vintage office twisted with warm or syrupy colors of the walls, rugs and surrounding seats.
Ateliers Zelij, on the other hand, is carrying out the exercise with its expertise in traditional Moroccan ceramics, covering the walls of the workspace. Always concerned with radical form and visual efficiency, Jean Nouvel imagined the NLV table in marble or reconstituted stone and designed it in a teasing cherry red. At Brionvega, even the radio takes on the appearance of a skyscraper and gives itself an offbeat look with its flashy orange.
