For the headquarters of Collins, a brand-building company in Williamsburg, architect Nancy Thiel makes an unforgettable presentation.
“The firm’s color identity is orange,” comments architect Nancy Thiel, “a powerful and creative color.” The Eastlake door, painted Benjamin Moore Outrageous Orange and original to the 1871 building, seemed like the appropriate starting-off point.
In the library, a Knoll coffee table and Herman Miller sofa punctuate company founder Brian Collins’s vast collection of books.
Vintage Eames Shell chairs surround a worktable in the library, where higher shelves are reached with the help of ladders from Putnam Rolling Ladder.
Office chairs and a table from Herman Miller dominate the airy conference room, which Thiel describes as “a bright open box, ready for ideas.”
