Our goal was to create a fresh, colorful, positive space - reflecting the world of PepsiCo and standing a bit in opposition to the surrounding architecture - industrial, raw. Crossing the threshold of this office, we enter a different reality. This space is saturated with elements associated with PepsiCo brands, but in most cases it is not stated directly. We were looking for non-obvious associations, we were inspired by art, design and advertising.

The reception counter is filled with Pepsi cans, and a squadron of “crisps” hovers over the sofas. These are not custom-made elements, but a pre-existing product - Shell acoustic screens by the Polish brand Mute. On the left side you can admire a mural - artist Patryk Hardziej presented the 9 most important brands from company portfolio. On the left, we have a cafeteria - a zone where we can experience these brands. The space that brings to mind the interiors of American roadside bars from the 1960s is dominated by a "refrigerator" - inspired by vintage cooling appliances, which, of course, hides cold drinks.

Adjacent to the lobby is the so-called creative room. The room features an element characteristic of the entire office - an installation based on the Bubbles system by the Polish brand Puff-Buff.

The new headquarters of PepsiCo Poland was an interesting design challenge. First, the building is long and relatively narrow. “We didn't want to divide the space with walls. We wanted the effect of a bright, open, spacious interior where it is pleasant to stay. But this could not affect the comfort of work. Typical working spaces have been divided into sectors in which no more than a dozen people work. We divided them with lounge zones, shelves, co-working stations. Acoustic comfort also increased thanks to acoustic ceiling and carpeting”.

The space seems extremely colorful - the entire office is divided into several color zones, corresponding to specific brands. However, when we look more closely, we notice that in fact the dominant color palette is very calm and subdued: it is dominated by white, beige, light grey. Colorful accents are soft furniture, chairs, decorations, neon lights. We wanted to create a unique office for PepsiCo, but we tried to keep the balance, not to overload the interior with strong colors.

Sustainable food production is one of PepsiCo's priorities. Among other things, it is looking for new solutions for the use of packaging in a closed cycle. “It was an inspiration for us. Thanks to cooperation with Migaloo Home, a special material was created, made of recycled beverage caps. We have used it for the reception desk as well as countertops in office kitchens and cafeterias.”

It is also worth noting that the office is organized in such a way as to motivate employees to live in an eco-style. among others plastic bottles have been completely banned here. Instead, you can use tap water, drinks from dispensers and saturating devices.
