我们首先在2012年对瑞士的跑步品牌进行了分析，详细介绍了新一代的运动鞋，他们的太空时代云TEC鞋底设计旨在震撼整个运动的鞋城市场。

在此期间的四年里，该品牌从苏黎世中心扩张到波特兰和横滨，并在2015/16年度获得IPSO最佳性能鞋金奖(IPSO Gold)，并在世界冠军和奖牌得主的脚下横越全球赛马场。

随着这些成功的到来，搬回家乡，苏黎世的西端出现了与Thilo Alex Brunner和Joerg Mettler的工业设计公司-Brunner Mettler Co-合作，重振办公室设计这一稳重的概念。

他们确定了一个“流动”的核心概念。他们避开了办公室周围短距离的常识方法，而是选择了一条100米的主干道。他们解释道，“整个团队都排好了队”。

他们继续说：“这会让整个团队保持源源不断的流动。”从一端的最后一张办公桌到公共厨房，另一头是淋浴。从自由流动的常设会议到在临时的单一工作站中的出色的隔离。从水墙里的水到室内花园里的深吸气。从帮助运动员在产品空间内配鞋到在收发室取货。从体重健身房到真正的健身房：户外跑步跑道…这里有眼神交流和微笑，还有简短的交谈。在整个工作日里，员工们平均每隔2到3公里的距离，而不仅仅是一个团队的马拉松。

所有这些方面都是集成的，没有潜水墙。唯一的隔离区是实验室，公司的工程师在那里进行他们的下一个突破性的设计。

其结果是一个充满活力、包容和完全原创的工作空间-对于一个致力于创新和自我改进的品牌来说是完美的。他们总结道，“在那一刻，没有捷径，只有流动。”

They settled on a central concept of 'flow'. Eschewing the common-sense approach of short distances around the office, they instead opted for a main pathway of 100m. Along this space, they explain, 'the whole team is lined up'. Pictured: a 'map' of the new space. Photography: Eduardo Perez

The entire new office is integrated and open-plan, with one exception. The only segregated zone is the On Lab, where the company's engineers work on their next groundbreaking designs. Photography: Eduardo Perez

Moving through this space across the working day, staff rack up an average 2–3km of distance each – and more than a marathon as a team. Pictured: a stand-up meeting room. Photography: Eduardo Perez

At one end of the office is the company's work desks – at the other is the communal kitchen and shower rooms. Pictured: the On office's 'water wall'. Photography: Eduardo Perez
