An office for a dating app is bound to have few precedents in terms of design. With little to fall back on in terms of visual references, Vrinda Mathur, Navya Agarwal and Sahej Bhatia of Studio Wood Office let their creativity flow in the design of the Truly Madly Offi-Café in Delhi.
As there was no hierarchy in the organisation, an informal, fluid space was desired. Recreating the atmosphere of how everyday couples spend time together, the café has a green patch denoting a lawn, on which there are floor cushions. Other seating is a combination of a running ledge, a standard dining table-like arrangement and high bar stools.
Three conference rooms double as breakout areas, for when the staff is tired of the work desk. Tongue in cheek graffiti on the walls carries on to the rest rooms. Grids for partitions have been enhanced with planters, recreating an outdoorsy feel in the basement level, which is usually bereft of natural light or a view. A mezzanine has been created, putting the 13 feet height of the space to good use.
