A nostalgic escape in the workplace
For the canteen of a law firm in Amsterdam, TREU interior specials delivered a characteristic PVC floor that instantly brings the atmosphere of the classic American 1950s to life. Commissioned by BNLA Architects, who were responsible for the project’s concept, an iconic black-and-white checkerboard pattern was chosen, complete with colorful seating and chrome accents that complete the nostalgic setting.
“Our canteen is more than just a place to have lunch: it is the place to take a break from work, relax, and recharge in a different environment within the building.”
The checkerboard pattern as a statement
The black-and-white checkerboard pattern is a true interior statement. This iconic design, inextricably linked to the American 1950s, transforms the canteen into a space with its own unique identity. The clean geometry and powerful contrast create a visual effect that is immediately striking and memorable.
The PVC floor forms the perfect basis for the total concept designed by BNLA Architects. The colorful seating in red, turquoise, and yellow pops against the black-and-white background, while chrome accents emphasize the glamour of the 1950s. It is a setting reminiscent of classic diners, jukeboxes, milkshakes, and rock ‘n’ roll. A small escape to another time, right in the heart of modern Amsterdam.
A break that energizes
The choice for this nostalgic theme is not only aesthetic but also functionally well-thought-out. A canteen is a crucial place within any office: it is where employees step away from their work, relax, and recharge. By giving this space a distinct character, the break becomes a real experience. A moment to step out of the work atmosphere and recharge in a completely different ambiance.
The 1950s atmosphere invites relaxation and informal meetings. Colleagues come together here, not just for lunch, but also for a coffee break, an informal consultation, or just a chat. The playful, accessible look of the space lowers barriers and stimulates social interaction; essential for a good working atmosphere and teambuilding.
A total concept for well-being and job satisfaction
This law firm consciously invests in spaces that contribute to the well-being of its employees. In addition to this characteristic canteen, TREU interior specials also realized the flooring solutions in the office spaces and the fitness room with accompanying facilities.
