从一开始，Zazzle的管理团队，RobertBeaver和他的儿子鲍比和杰夫，想要为他们在加州红木城的新总部争取最好的服务。当我们为四楼的休息室-墙纸或瓷砖-提出两种完成方案时，海狸们选择了手工烧制、手工打磨、手工釉面的瓷砖。对于中央电梯的木质装饰，他们接受了我们的建议，采用古老的日本技术将一些木板的表面烧成黑色。交替烧焦的橡木和未燃烧的山核桃图案是在模板上精心创建的，并提供给磨坊工人。作为对老式工艺的认可，我们安装了两个铸铁1926年红色伦敦电话亭，由吉尔斯·吉尔伯特·斯科特爵士(SirGiles Gilbert Scott)设计。每部重3，000磅，装有一部功能齐全的古董电话。

From the beginning, Zazzle’s management team, Robert Beaver and his sons Bobby and Jeff, wanted to secure the best for their new headquarters in Redwood City, California. When we presented two finish options for the fourth floor break room—wallpaper or tile—the Beavers chose hand-‐fired, hand-‐sanded, hand-‐glazed ceramic tile. For the wood finishes encasing the central elevators, they embraced our proposal to apply an ancient Japanese technique of burning the surface of some planks black. The pattern of alternating burned oak and unburned hickory was meticulously created on a template and provided to the millworkers. In a nod to vintage craftsmanship, we installed two cast-‐iron 1926 red London telephone booths designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Each weighs 3,000 pounds and contains a fully functioning antique telephone.

这些细节的累积效应-以及整个工厂的许多其他细节-表达了Zazzle对充满活力的亚文化制造商的承诺的信念。亚文化是一个由发明家和创造者组成的社区，他们将现代技术的效率与手工制作工艺的优雅结合在一起。

The cumulative effect of these details—and many others throughout the facility—is to express Zazzle’s belief in the promise of a vibrant maker subculture, a community of inventors and creators who are combining the efficiencies of modern technology with the elegance of handmade arts and crafts.
