Shepherd and Wedderburn

BAUX’s Plank series lends a natural feel to an open office space.

When commissioning the design of their award winning office in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre, UK law firm Shepherd and Wedderburn, wanted to create a work environment where staff and partners could collaborate on challenging transactions whilst others worked in a quiet, focused manner. Design agency, Keppie, fulfilled the brief by creating a modern, flexible workspace, in stark contrast to corporate style normally associated with the legal sector. Designer Gordon Yeaman picks up the story:

“We wanted to create a feeling of space but maintain client confidentiality. We choose BAUX Plank because the natural fibres and subtle colour fluctuations provided an informal texture to breakdown the formality of meeting rooms. The acoustic dampening also helped to create a more intimate, responsive setting.”

Although the client was initially unsure about the raw unfinished look of BAUX Plank they’re now delighted with the result and the designs have become a talking point when meeting clients. The striking natural aesthetic of the wood wool tiles lends warmth to the meeting spaces, shaping client experiences and creating a soft backdrop for the sharp Shepherd and Wedderburn branding.

Designed exclusively by Form Us With Love, BAUX Plank offers a natural, refined, artisan look. So if you like the look of the natural wood fibres, check out our BAUX Plank series here!
