Have you seen Chicago’s famed Monadnock Building?
Commissioned For Hale Law LLC
I am thrilled to share GOGO design group’s recent commission for Hale Law LLC, located on the third floor of this spectacular building. Our assignment for the client includes designing:
- A lounge space for staff meetings, brainstorming sessions and enjoying an occasional beverage
- A client and attorney waiting area outside the firm’s deposition room
- And reconfiguring a long corridor that spans the length of the staff offices and serves many functions for daily office life
Following the client’s request for a residential feel that evokes a sense of home, we created two concepts for consideration and discussion – an art deco inspired motif that conjures the 1930’s modern movement era and a sleek and modern design that incorporates pops of color.
The navy-blue velvet sofa that you see in both concepts was an incredible find at the Twisted Trunk, a fabulous consignment furniture shop in Glenview, Illinois. Keeping our budget at the forefront, we purchased the sofa in a heartbeat and built both concepts around it.
We will reveal our client’s final design in a future post, but in the meantime, here is a sneak-peak into our two visions for Hale Law LLC:
Lounge, Art-Deco Modern Concept:
Inspired by the 1930s interiors created by Eileen Gray, an Irish born architect and furniture designer, (and one of GOGO’s favorite designers ), we layered various textures, including wool, fur, wood, leather and metal with modern furnishings to create a swanky lounge.
This sleek concept contains clean lines, polished chrome, acrylic and quartz table tops that complement pops of bright color in the art, stools and area rug. While it has a midcentury modern vibe, the sofa and area rug nod to the historic era of the Monadnock Building.
Lounge, Modern Vibe Concept:
Stay tuned for the final reveal!
Collaborating with our clients’ vision and budget, while seizing inspiration from their style and project parameters, is proving to be a wonderful and creative experience for us all.
GOGO design group is grateful for the opportunity to create soul-nourishing spaces, inspiring our clients to thrive both at home and work.
