ABOUT

Facebook sought to create an on-campus food hall for its employees. For a tech company, they were surprisingly uninterested in slick design, but rather intrigued by manual workings and the expression of machinery. This led to designing the space through a kit of industrial parts, rooted in steampunk expression: black painted pipe and flange used as framework for designating seating areas, honey toned oiled masonite boards as screens, exposed fasteners. Bold red, black, and white wayfinding graphics were painted on the floor, tables, and dividers.
