Recently launched start-up Poetizer is the largest social network for poetry lovers in the world. The ecological all-in-one publishing platform enables anyone’s poetry to be published and sold with millions of poems posted by users from 120 countries.
For the platform’s new 150-square meter office in Prague, architect Tomáš Císař and designer Johana Sedláčková Vamberská tell the story of a minimalist platform that emphasizes environmental protection through a jungle-like greenhouse in the heart of the space. According to the designers, the idea of a wild jungle embodies the spirit of wild thinking that fuels the platform and its users.
The frame of the greenhouse hosts 171 plants, representing over 100 species. The space within the greenhouse is ideal for informal gatherings, relaxing, or streaming poetry readings. Adjacent to this is a space with two individual workstations arranged on two islands. The office also includes a kitchen, balcony overlooking the main street, two additional meeting rooms and a focus room.
Serving as a metaphor for a sheet of paper, white is the main colour used within the space. Dark green is dedicated to areas for communication, both in person and online, while accents of orange throughout the interior tie in with the company’s corporate identity.
