Bringing Italian warmth to the workplace
Whitepaper delivered the CAT B fit-out for Pasta Evangelists’ Old Street headquarters, creating a workspace that captures the spirit, warmth, and authenticity of the brand’s Italian heritage. The brief was to design an office that reflects the company’s success in bringing high-quality, home-cooked Italian food into people’s lives, translating that same sense of comfort, craft, and generosity into a vibrant workplace environment.
The design concept was born from the brand’s Italian roots, drawing inspiration from rustic Tuscan interiors and traditional materiality. A rich, earthy colour palette of warm terracottas, deep greens, soft neutrals, and natural textures creates an inviting and characterful backdrop. Materials were selected to feel tactile and honest, echoing the authenticity and craftsmanship associated with Italian cooking and culture.
At the heart of the office sits a generous breakout space, designed in true Italian style as the social and cultural centre of the workplace. Much like a family kitchen or trattoria, this central hub encourages gathering, conversation, and shared moments, reinforcing the company’s collaborative and people-focused ethos. Surrounding workspaces and meeting rooms balance focus and functionality, ensuring the office supports both productivity and connection.
The result is a workspace that feels distinctly Pasta Evangelists: warm, welcoming, and full of character. Rooted in Italian tradition yet designed for a modern, fast-growing business, the Old Street office celebrates the brand’s journey while providing an inspiring environment to support its continued success.
