The challenge was to create a fresh impression for the 145 year old law firm which specializes in intellectual property & technology patent law.
The goal of the design concept for the work environment was to develop a tailored solution. The new space aims to: communicate the character of the firm's practice, express its position for future growth & provide functionality for a highly specific workflow based on research of user habits.
