Leading Australian architecture practice Hames Sharley<\/a> have just moved into their new home: an open and collaborative space that spans the third floor of an art deco building on Melbourne\u2019s bustling Collins St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the studio appears as a homage to the building\u2019s heritage, complete with a gridded floor plan and large bay windows. Yet on closer inspection, this space is also a fiercely contemporary snapshot of the Hames Sharley brand and the context within which they exist, with the studio a manifestation of their mission to create spaces that are emotive, intuitive, and environmentally sound. This layered reveal is achieved thanks to the considered inclusion of furniture from brands that echo the ethos of the studio, with Humanscale<\/a> \u2018Path\u2019<\/a> task chairs standing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a global leader in ergonomic furniture solutions, Humanscale has long operated with a commitment to sustainability that\u2019s driven by the belief \u2018that good design achieves more with less\u2019. The Path chairs are the embodiment of this philosophy, with a dynamic and adaptive design from which 52% is made from recycled content, including around five kilograms of ocean plastics. Humanscale\u2019s deep commitment to sustainability met the designer\u2019s ethical needs for the new space, with Hames Sharley setting a goal to achieve carbon-neutrality and showcase of materials and products that promote regenerative design<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This alignment between supplier and designer paved the way for a collaboration for this project, with Humanscale supplying a chair in a colour that matched the tonal palette of the office. Contrasting with the chalky white of the Path\u2019s base, a cushion in terracotta makes the chairs a key design statement, functional art pieces that celebrate performance, design and sustainable innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur vision was to create an environment that not only accommodates but also celebrates the diverse sensory and energy needs of our team\u201d says Sonja Duric, Director of Hames Sharley. \u201cOur partnership with Humanscale has been instrumental in realising our vision for a dynamic and inspiring workspace. Their products have become an integral part of our studio, enhancing the comfort and productivity of our team members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their part, Humanscale have viewed this collaboration as an important synchronisation between the industry\u2019s value chain, with designers and specifiers coming together to achieve a shared goal of limitless design. \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Hames Sharley on this transformative project. Their dedication to pushing the boundaries of design aligns perfectly with our mission to create products that enhance comfort and sustainability\u201d says Amanda Schembri, Director A&D Australia & New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By embracing the collaborative vision of Humanscale and infusing a blend of history and innovation into its design approach, the studio has set a new standard for workplace aesthetics. This evolution not only prioritises the well-being and productivity of its occupants but also serves as a testament to the power of thoughtful design in creating spaces that inspire, invigorate, and endure for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
