We’ve been featuring some ‘not-so-average’ offices lately, and today’s is no exception. PostPanic creates and produces some of the most creative commercials and music videos around. Let’s head to Amsterdam, Netherlands to have a look at their modern space.
Right of the bat, you’re eyes are sure to be drawn to the dazzling light fixture that seems to be at the perfect angle no matter how you look at it. The bottom floor has an extremely sparse layout, though allows for some creative breakout sessions. The employees have work areas in several places around the office. One example is the light green space, with a combination of computer stations and table space.
And just when you were wondering, “Don’t they have any tapestries?” Of course they have many tapestries. A whole room that is in fact, one giant tapestry. Now, these images show a pristine office, without any trace of the hustle and bustle of an average workday. It would be very interesting to see how the space looks on just an average Monday.

No, the offices aren’t made of chocolate. That would be impractical (although delicious). Dobla makes chocolate. Not just any chocolate, though; they make really nice, fancy chocolate for competitions and intricate, delicious desserts. They sell chocolate shaped like all sorts of things, and I’d like to eat almost all of them.
Dobla’s office was created by the talented design firm Pactor, one of our favorites here on OS. It looks like it really is made entirely out of dark chocolate and white chocolate, which probably makes visitors pretty hungry. Luckily for them, there are plenty of things to eat on those shelves. They better be free samples. Because I ate them.

Remember when online greeting cards were the next big thing? Millions of people sent them to each other like it was their job, and I doubt a single recipient cared enough to open one. Real greeting cards, though… people actually like getting those. And that’s where Greetz comes in. Greetz lets you customize and send a real, physical greeting card (with a stamp and everything!) to anyone that you want to tell something to. “Happy Birthday” and “Merry Christmas” are two popular options.
Greetz’ office is located in Amsterdam, and it’s another great office by design stars Pactor, whose office designs we have featured on the site once before. The best thing about this office is how incredibly open and bright it is; it almost seems unreal. I also enjoy how very communal and inviting the lunch area appear, something that is often missing from other offices we see.

It may seem like everyone uses Facebook, but they don’t. Some people, in fact, use social networking sites that aren’t Facebook. Shocking, I know. Here’s a good one, though: it’s called Hyves.net, and it’s very popular in the Netherlands, with over 8.5 million users (that’s over half the population!).
And how great is their office? SO great. The ridiculously bright colors make it look like something out of a storybook or an acid trip, but there’s just enough of the neutral colors so that it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. They have pretty views of central Amsterdam from their many windows, and look, even their doors are interesting. The many murals do a great job of giving each room its own distinct personality. All in all, a superb office. Well done, Hyves.net.

Nimbuzz is a company that you may very well want to get to know soon. They are a “multi community mobile social messenging and VoIP provider”, which means that they integrate VoIP, messaging on basically all networks (Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk, Orkut, AIM, and social networks including Facebook and MySpace.), and offer a geo presence service. Their free application is available on the mobile, web, PC, and now the Mac and iPhone!
Their main office is located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and seems to be a place where a good combination of work and play happen. As you can tell, employees have mastered the ‘looking at things in a serious manner’ pose. The space is very bright and attractive with a great common area the employees seem to enjoy a lot. The workstations do offer a decent amount of room, and while they are private stations, the proximity and conference areas must offer good collaborative sessions.
