Inspired by the aspiration for both men’s and women’s collections that seamlessly bridge city life and outdoor adventures, AETHER’s product line embodies a harmonious blend of form and function. Seeking to capture this essence, AETHER Apparel collaborated with Assembledge+ to reinvigorate an existing 1953 bow truss building, crafting a new and vibrant headquarters that mirrors the brand’s core ethos and fosters a workspace characterized by transparency and creativity.
The design solution centered around honoring the building’s original essence. This was achieved by reimagining the space to encourage a communal and adaptable environment, thoughtfully sectioned into workstations, a dynamic design studio and shared spaces thoughtfully integrated with a showroom.
The project’s aesthetic embodies clean lines, predominantly white interiors enriched with wooden accents, and the allure of exposed warehouse elements, collectively crafting an open, airy office exuding a modern sensibility that nurtures seamless communication. Reflecting their deep environmental commitment, the client prioritized eco-consciousness, driving the space to embrace sustainability.
