New Design Studio!!

ChicoWeb · Jul 18, 2008, 09:17 AM

Hey All,

My design firm just moved into a new loft downtown and I thought I'd share our all new Mac design studio with the forum. When I started this business 5 years ago out of a spare bedroom on a g4 quicksilver with a giant CRT, this was everything I dreamed about and hoped for. It goes to show you with a little hard work and dedication, anything is possible

Few more...

edesignuk · Jul 18, 2008, 09:34 AM

Wow, very very nice. I love the warehouse (brick walls, high ceilings) look.

Is Chico Web Design your company, or are you an employee?

Congratulations, either way. Looks like a nice environment to work in.

No, they just all move REALLY fast!

Beautiful loft. That is something I've always wanted to live in! Great job setting everything up and taking your business to the next level!

Sethable · Jul 18, 2008, 09:49 AM

The loft looks awesome! congrats.
I have always wanted to setup a business like this in a loft.

sananda · Jul 18, 2008, 09:51 AM

looks great!

Killyp · 10:06 AM

Wow, looks amazing.

At some point I want to start up a studio (recording studio), hopefully it can be this stylish... =]

EDIT: cheat, just noticed you haven't connected any of the monitors or MBPs

You want to get some cable 'sock'. Go to a B&O dealer and ask if you can buy a reel of the grey cable sock or cable tidy that comes with their TVs. Works wonders, I'm telling you.

HEH, those are all working computers. We may have done some moving of the wires, but all of those are hooked up to mbp's

CharlieKirk · Jul 18, 2008, 11:18 AM

Beautiful!

Could you list the furniture, I'm especially curious about the one with the good wire management.

Killyp · Jul 18, 2008, 11:25 AM

Those look like JONAS desks, I have one in my room. Not sure about the bigger desk in the room with the table/chairs...

jecapaga · Jul 18, 2008, 11:39 AM

Congratulations..looks awesome! What is that on the feet though..some kind of booty slipper, neoprene, spiderman shoe looking thing?

Red Carbon · Jul 18, 2008, 12:53 PM

Wow, that looks amazing! Where did you buy the leather/chrome chairs?

Soma 115 · Jul 18, 2008, 01:58 PM

THAT IS A SICK STUDIO!!! i think your productivity might just go up from a good environment like that!

Wondering the same, I'd love to have one of those chairs.

Mikey- · Jul 18, 2008, 02:25 PM

Love the way its very minimalistic

buyusfear · Jul 18, 2008, 02:38 PM

That looks like a fantastic place to work. Great setup!

Are those both 30'' ACD's? or is the one beside the MBP a 23''?

They look so sharp in the loft.

Well done!
