Velcro Headquarters
by Eslava&Sauras

Eslava&Sauras of Valencia has redesigned the European headquarters of Velcro in Barcelona, using the brand’s handy hook-and-loop fasteners to construct flexible screens and lampshades (+ slideshow).

“We wanted to convey the new values of the Velcro brand through the use of open, transparent spaces,” explain designers Luis Eslava and Lorena Sauras.”The goal was to achieve a creative, modern, and dynamic environment, including movable walls that combine spaces and a bright, upbeat atmosphere where white dominates a few splashes of colour.”

The designers used a spherical mould to build the red globe-like Velcro lampshades, which hang in the corridor and reception spaces.

Glass screens separate the reception from a small exhibition area, while Velcro pads on the wall display a map of the world.

Planting boxes line the edge of the long corridor, leading through to a row of three glazed conference rooms.

Here, the designers have used Velcro strips to create semi-transparent screens that can be easily adapted or moved to provide more or less privacy.

Other projects we’ve featured that use Velcro include a set of stick-like partitions and a collection of lighting.

Other well-known brand headquarters we’ve featured include the Amsterdam offices for drinks brand Red Bull and the headquarters of cake brand Sara Lee in Cologne.
