New York’s Blender, by local design firm Parts and Labor, is a reaction to the predictability of 21st century co-working office design

办公室无人驾驶飞机可能错过了备忘录，但合作办公模式现在风靡一时，因为公共办公桌与移动员工相遇，星巴克(Starbucks)。

也就是说，有批评者，尤其是在设计师Jeremy Levitt和安赫尔高康，纽约的零部件和劳动力的共同创始人，谁谴责二十一世纪合作办公室设计的可预测性。他说，我们经常看到同样年轻、千禧年的概念。

正因为如此，当彼得·科贝尔(Peter Korbel)、阿姆罗·卡杜拉(Amro Qaddura)和斯科特·萨森(Scott Sasson)接近他的工作室时，他在曼哈顿市中心麦迪逊广场公园(Madison Square Park)附近的一座世纪之交街区的八楼创建了一间合作办公室Blender，这是一次工作的机会，他称之为“本世纪中叶的优雅色调和材料，同时还融合了直觉技术和现代工业口音”。

结果是一个轻洗15000平方英尺卷，包括36个私人办公室和会议室点燃盟军制造商，Gubi，Lambert

Blender的核心是一家2500平方英尺的咖啡厅和休息室，里面有一个由胡桃木、黄铜和手工制作的球体组成的大型酒吧，还有一堵画廊的墙壁，内衬着一张不断变化的原创艺术品名册。这一观点让人觉得，没有什么比公共水坑更能把陌生人团结在一起了。正如莱维特所指出的那样，“把艺术作品、音乐、健康和其他文化体验与工作场所等同起来的想法，在布兰德诞生之初就起到了很大的作用。”

‘Too often we’re seeing the same youthful, millennial-driven concepts,’ says Jeremy Levitt, co-founder of Parts and Labor

The design incorporates ‘the elegant tones and materials of the mid-century era, while also integrating intuitive technology and modern industrial accents’, says Levitt

The result is a light-washed 15,000 sq ft volume comprising 36 private offices and conference rooms

Offices, nooks and break-out spots are delineated from the open office space by blackened steel dividing walls, frosted glass windows and oak doors

The heart of Blender is a 2,500 sq ft café and lounge, and a gallery wall lined with a changing roster of original artwork

As Levitt points out, ‘The idea of incorporating artwork, music, wellness and other cultural experiences as an equal to the workspace, was something that played a big role during the inception of Blender’
