A New Chapter for Papier.
Whitepaper worked closely with Papier to bring their vision for a new headquarters at the iconic Heals Building to life, creating a workspace that is a true extension of their bold and colourful brand. The brief was to design an environment that celebrates creativity and individuality while providing a highly functional workplace that inspires collaboration, innovation, and everyday enjoyment.
The design takes its cues from Papier's distinctive visual identity, introducing a confident palette of colour, playful forms, and thoughtfully curated details throughout the workplace. Rather than overwhelming the space, vibrant moments are carefully balanced with softer neutral finishes, creating an environment that feels fresh, sophisticated, and full of character. Every element was considered to ensure the workspace reflected the brand's creativity while remaining a comfortable and productive place to work.
The floorplate was designed to encourage movement, interaction, and flexibility, offering a variety of work settings to suit different tasks throughout the day. Collaborative spaces, informal meeting areas, and generous breakout zones sit alongside focused workspaces, creating a workplace that supports both individual concentration and team connection. Bespoke styling, carefully selected furniture, and playful accessories bring warmth and personality to every corner of the office.
Brand identity is woven seamlessly throughout the design, allowing the workplace to feel authentic rather than overtly branded. Colour, materiality, and graphic moments work together to create a space that feels uplifting, creative, and instantly recognisable as Papier.
The result is a vibrant CAT B workplace that celebrates the company's unique identity while providing a flexible and inspiring home for its team. Playful yet refined, the office reflects Papier's passion for beautiful design and demonstrates how a workspace can become a natural extension of a brand.
