Interior Design Magazine - Color and Character Enliven Offices for a Growing Tech Brand

For a young, fast-growing technology company, creating a meaningful space for employees to work and connect was key to the next phase of their business. Studio Anand Sheth brought a considerate, thoughtful approach to Retool’s offices, first designing their San Francisco headquarters, followed by a satellite office across the country in New York.

To get a sense of the brand’s needs for the initial project, founder Anand Sheth converted the client’s wishes and his own vision into a collage that he calls “Future Memory.” The collage visually represents the building’s structure and interprets the client’s goal of community with cut-out photographs Sheth found tucked away in a thrifted envelope. Retool’s rapid growth during the pandemic led to a large remote workforce, so the aim of an in-person space centered on providing a new sense of connection for employees.
