What if an office was designed for working less? At the new office for technology company Antiwork, toiling is, as the brand’s name suggests, not the point. Instead, the company’s commitment to working less by working smarter guides the playful yet efficient office in New York’s Dumbo neighborhood, designed by @float.studio . The first reference images for the design: the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie.

The design of this space leans into variety and definition, proving that a cohesive environment doesn’t have to feel the same at every turn. We designed this 45 000 square foot space to have a layered sense of depth throughout, with open sight lines and careful planning to maintain a strong sense of flow despite the number of programs housed within one office. Each area carries its own identity, and is ultimately tied together through a carefully curated residentially leaning palette, along with subtle references to the brand’s own product lines.

Workplace design continues to evolve, but performance at the material level remains constant. Our Engineered End Grain Oak Plank flooring was recently installed at Fidelity’s new Head Quarters in the Boston Seaport District, set to open this spring. In high-traffic environments like these, durability and long term performance are essential without compromising the overall design intent. End grain flooring has always been a practical solution for spaces built around movement, and it’s rewarding to see it applied in forward thinking workplace environments. #KaswellFlooring #EndGrainFlooring #WorkplaceDesign #ArchitecturalMaterials BuiltToLast

A space filled with light, air, and a soft glow. This space by @float.studio is a study in quiet and intentional design. Our three-globe chandelier brings soft contrast and balance to this bright, textural space. Paired with grounding wood tones and layered materials.

Every workplace has their own heart and for this one it’s no surprise that food is what keeps it beating. The ability for staff to prepare their own meals in a meaningful and functional way was especially important for the team at @food52 To do this, we took the hospitality concept of “back of house” and” front of house” and created a back of house kitchen for the team’s personal use. In this way, we were able to provide meaningful, functional amenities to the team members while keeping the action hidden behind this gateway between the two spaces.

We are so pleased to a part of the latest issue of Detroit Design @detroitdesignmagazine for Spring 2026 featuring @float.studio ’s recent Bloomfield Hills project.⁠ ⁠ Brad Sherman on Flat Vernacular’s View wallpaper:⁠ “The wallpaper is very geometric and reminded us of window panes —⁠ something you often see at Cranbrook. The homeowners fell in love with it, and it felt like a bold, playful choice for the outer room off the entrance.”⁠ ⁠ Outlet: @detroitdesignmagazine ⁠ Editor: @giuseppanadrowski ⁠ Designer: @float.studio ⁠ Photography:@mvp_detroit ⁠ PR Representation: @__mcgraw__ ⁠

The latest project from Float Studio demonstrates how rethinking an existing footprint can have as much impact as expanding into a larger office. By introducing clear spatial organisation, areas for deep work, places for spontaneous gathering and warm, tactile materials, this new office space for Antiwork, creators of Gumroad, encourages meaningful human interaction in a digitally intensive field of work. “The compact workspace reflects Antiwork’s experimental spirit and their vision of an office that evokes ‘the future of the past’,” says Sherman.

Our latest project in Michigan was featured on the cover of Detroit Design @detroitdesignmagazine for Spring 2026. Inside, Brad discusses how Float Studio channeled Mid-century eclecticism inside this 1930’s traditional colonial home in Bloomfield Hills in a way that felt family-friendly, energetic and fun. “Their love of objects makes this a special project, and also their trust in me.There were a couple of things they brought from New York, and heritage pieces that work with the home’s core. It was a total mix. At the end of the day, we chose things that they love.” –Brad Sherman, Co-founder at Float Studio Find out more about this project at Detroit Design @detroitdesignmagazine and Float Studio.
