Here, the designers saw an opportunity to create a range of desk tools which work well and look great, both individually and as a set.”

If you “google” fun modern design, this is what should come up. The Google Offices in London, designed by Scott Brownrigg, offer the Goggle staff a brightly colored office with all of the important iconic Google elements. The 4,000 square foot office, located at 123 Buckingham Palace Road in the heart of London, transports the staff and visitors into a fun and relaxing work space.
