first visual of what can be expected from the
interior. From the starting point being the
reception counter, simulating a crystalised
copper segment from another world, to the
bespoke boardroom table by Dahla Hume, made
from solid wood, glass and copper designed in
collaboration with i4c.
Each area in the office space was carefully
thought out to transport the Schneider team and
visitors to different worlds.
The staircase interlinks the two floors above
reception and transports the user to different
worlds which include caravans and shipping
containers turned into informal meeting rooms.
Teams can meet at areas with swinging sofas and
timber houses if the caravan is occupied. Graffiti
by Mars fills the walls with Schneider’s key values
and inspiring quotes.

From the first day the Schneider employees
entered the building they embraced their new
environment and made use of the collaborative
areas and the idea of exploring new worlds and
a new working environment. An exciting, fun and
yet functional slide was installed for a fast and
exhilarating experience to the floors below.
The end result is most definitely a unique
interior where beauty and functionality unite,
making a work day at Schneider something to
look forward to.
