Lindt, a premium chocolate brand that makes and sells premium quality chocolate, recently reached out to office design firm Morgan Lovell, to design their new offices, located in Feltham, England.

“Throughout the office we’ve embodied the textures and visual flavours of each of their core products, with warm caramel, milk, white and dark chocolate finishes. While you won’t need a golden ticket to enter, Lindt’s reception is welcoming and sophisticated; with a rich caramel walls flanked by a dark chocolate brown reception desk. Suspended round light fittings also represent a gentle nod to their flagship product; Lindt Balls. As you make your way further into the office, you’ll see large full-length wall decals that show everything from cocoa beans hanging from trees, to the chocolate making process, and finally a larger than life cartoon backdrop that’s home to their metre tall Lindt bunny. We fitted out their newly acquired ground floor to be a client-facing meeting, collaboration and entertainment precinct. Each meeting room has been elegantly themed to showcase a key stage within their chocolate making process. We continued the use of decals to showcase the intricacy involved in their sophisticated chocolate making process. On the upper office floor, we designated collaboration areas with a use of parabolic carpet lines, ensuring each break-out area felt like a unique space, separate from the open-plan office floor. The use of circular lines was extended into the selection of furniture; with a wave lounge allowing staff to have different meetings in close proximity, yet retain their privacy. We also provided a mix of furnishings to support different meeting styles, including groups of ottomans for quick chats and to pairs of solo chairs, which happen to look like giant cocoa beans from behind! Since they were low on space, we also installed semi-private meeting pods, complete with a table, monitor and 3.75 walls. This allows staff somewhere to meet away from their desks and conduct a meeting in relative privacy, yet still open to the floor. These were naturally finished in a mix of chocolate brown and iconic Lindt red,” says Morgan Lovell
