But did you know that The Orangeblowfish branded the 1,800 sqm office for LinkedIn Shanghai in 2020? Yes, we did! The work we did for LinkedIn Shanghai, was featured in Wallpaper, Kinfolk and several other design magazines. In 2021, we received another call from LinkedIn HQ to do the same for their Beijing office. The brief: Design an inspiring space that would boost creativity, communication, team collaboration and employee well-being. The Orangeblowfish has a solid track record for designing and branding office spaces that aim to stimulate creative thinking and communication, promote community building, and help employees find a sense of belonging. LinkedIn always tops the charts when it comes to designing creative working spaces. So, when we were called in for duty, we “linked-in” to the opportunity, of course.
