Inside this reception area of our project in NoMad, we wanted to ensure that the first touchpoint for guests visiting this financial firm felt welcoming and energized. 

A custom designed sculptural reception desk inspired by Vittorio Introini and finished in deep Lyon’s blue sets the tone and reflects the building’s 1970s character,  while a striped Dedar sofa from TRNK anchors the lounge. Nearby, a bespoke console nods to Sergio Rodrigues, bringing a layer of modernist minimalism to the entry sequence.

Above the reception desk a porthole offers a glimpse into the boardroom, where that same attention to detail continues. Custom bleacher seating around the perimeter of the boardroom gives this highly functional space an amphitheatre-like atmosphere, while acoustical drapes add privacy and visual softness to the space. The palette of purply-blue broadloom from Bentley Mills , stainless steel tambour detailing, and leather gives the room a revival aesthetic that still feels current.

“There are certain elements in design that no one outside of the industry really thinks about until they are forced to, and commercial carpeting is a big one! It is not particularly glamorous, it is rarely the thing that clients get excited about first, and yet it ends up affecting almost everything about how a workplace feels once people are actually in it. So that’s why at Float Studio, we spend an absurd amount of time thinking about carpet.”

This excerpt comes from Brad’s .sherman latest article on Sightlines, a Substack blog that shares all the things in his line of sight. From studio level insight to the coolest new spot that just opened downtown, its part design journal meets group chat.

The design of this space leans into variety and definition, proving that a cohesive environment doesn’t have to feel the same at every turn. We designed this 45 000 square foot space to have a layered sense of depth throughout, with open sight lines and careful planning to maintain a strong sense of flow despite the number of programs housed within one office.

Each area carries its own identity, and is ultimately tied together through a carefully curated residentially leaning palette, along with subtle references to the brand’s own product lines.

After working closely to find a location that could truly support their team, this three-floor office became home to . Back in 2023, we explored plan after plan, testing how best to organize their workflow across multiple levels before moving into the interior architecture and full drawing set.

The main level transitions from reception into a shared workspace with a mix of desking options, a tucked-away kitchenette, and a central printer station, with enclosed meeting rooms positioned nearby.

Every room inside this office was designed to feel like the heart of the home. In this lounge space, a faux hearth nestled between a neatly arranged collection of recent and vintage cookbooks creates a space to pause and gather inspiration.

Every workplace has their own heart and for this one it’s no surprise that food is what keeps it beating. The ability for staff to prepare their own meals in a meaningful and functional way was especially important for the team at

To do this, we took the hospitality concept of “back of house” and” front of house” and created a back of house kitchen for the team’s personal use. In this way, we were able to provide meaningful, functional amenities to the team members while keeping the action hidden behind this gateway between the two spaces.

The latest project from Float Studio demonstrates how rethinking an existing footprint can have as much impact as expanding into a larger office. By introducing clear spatial organisation, areas for deep work, places for spontaneous gathering and warm, tactile materials, this new office space for Antiwork, creators of Gumroad, encourages meaningful human interaction in a digitally intensive field of work.

“The compact workspace reflects Antiwork’s experimental spirit and their vision of an office that evokes ‘the future of the past’,” says Sherman.

As designers, the language we speak is visual. We tell the story of a company through material, lighting, furniture, and atmosphere. A well designed reception area has the ability to shape an interaction before a single conversation takes place. The time someone spends waiting before a meeting can quietly introduce the values, personality, and culture of a brand, if you seize the opportunity.

Learn more about how we create a sense of identity and place on Brad’s latest Substack Article “Designing Reception Areas That Aren’t Boring”.

Our latest project in Michigan was featured on the cover of Detroit Design for Spring 2026. Inside, Brad discusses how Float Studio channeled Mid-century eclecticism inside this 1930’s traditional colonial home in Bloomfield Hills in a way that felt family-friendly, energetic and fun.

“Their love of objects makes this a special project, and also their trust in me.There were a couple of things they brought from New York, and heritage pieces that work with the home’s core. It was a total mix. At the end of the day, we chose things that they love.”

–Brad Sherman, Co-founder at Float Studio

Back in 2022 we couldn’t find a hardware collection to satisfy our project at so we created one. Uniting classic design elements with contemporary shapes, The Marcelle Collection designed by Float Studio with Modern Matter Hardware was built for both traditional and handcrafted spaces.

This collection includes: drawer pulls, appliance pulls, k***s, label holders, shelving brackets and single hooks in 3 distinct finishes including Burnished Brass, Dark Bronze and Antique Pewter.

We’ve added a link in our bio again for you to explore more from The Marcelle Collection.
