_Office Excavate was an interactive installation created to showcase the Wolf-Gordon’s extensive and beautiful collection of upholstery textiles.

_Conceptually, the installation explores poetically deconstructing the formerly cubicle-driven office block and transforming it into an inviting and flexible space in which to work and interact.

_The area featured an 18 foot long, grotto-like banquette created by extracting asymmetrical forms from the “block”. The residual forms can be positioned as desktops, tables, and stools. Both the excavated seating and forms are upholstered in over 100 Wolf-Gordon textiles arrayed by color. Designed to accommodate a range of workplace functions, Office_Excavate provided a welcoming space to stop for a chat, coffee break, email check, phone recharge or a serendipitous meeting.
