Inside Cantora’s New York City Office

Interior design studio Homepolish has designed a new office for Cantora, a New York City-based music company that invests in artists and startups.

Cantora’s design priority was simple—keep the energy good, and let the rest fall into place. The large, open SoHo space floods with warm, natural light, and the casual furnishings exude a relaxed feel. It’s so welcoming, in fact, it could almost be mistaken for a home. The guys at Cantora built their own desks (a process that made them feel both penny-wise and manly) and Allie gave the sitting area some lively pops of color with a red lounge chair and a teal-and-white zig zag rug. It’s the perfect place to meet with clients or conduct the staff’s daily meditation sessions. The tall kitchen table and sleek barstool chairs are perfect for a lunch break or cracking a beer at the day’s end. But perhaps the team’s favorite detail is the #CantoraGram machine—a device a previous intern made that automatically prints a polaroid the instant someone Instagrams a photo using the hashtag #cantoragram,” says Homepolish
