As a research-based consulting and analysis company, Gallup stays fully up-to-date regarding social developments and advises leading organizations and executive management around the world. The kaleidoscopic office building, with its striking, folded glass facade is placed in the heart of the capital city, between the government district and the main train station , dominates Washingtonplatz. The futuristic exterior design aside, the high-tech interior is also noteworthy: This fully digitized building, as a “smart office”, learns from its occupants' habits and adapts all control functions, such as temperature regulation or lighting intervals, to their needs. Under the leadership of Thomas Koehler from the architect firm GRAEF GmbH, a modern, 660 m² office landscape was created, leaving nothing to be desired. A passion for details and an obligation to provide high-quality, healthy furnishings led directly to OBJECT CARPET. Visually, the exquisite carpet creations from this flooring specialist fit effortlessly into the elegant, minimalist concept of the Gallup office and give the atmosphere a cozy flair using warm colors and natural design elements. In the meeting room, ARCTIC broadlooms from the PLACES OF ORIGIN series in the KOLORIT 702 MICRO CHIP play inconspicuously with the overall geometric design of the cube. The ingenious loop-pile carpet is also extremely durable and dirt-resistant. It is also made from ECONYL® yarn, a 100% recycled polyamide from the yarn manufacturer Aquafil, thus meeting the highest sustainability standards. In the staff lounge, the high-pile shag SMOOZY 1622 as RUGX provides an especially cozy ambiance thanks to its warm macchiato color and its soft feel: perfect for a nice chat with colleagues. Looking at the Berlin skyline, it's easy to enjoy your coffee breaks in this relaxing atmosphere.
