Cotton On
Cotton On Group is Australia's largest global retailer, known for its fashion clothing and stationery brands. It has over 1,500 stores in 18 countries and employs 22,000 workers globally. It currently operates Cotton On, Factorie, Typo, Rubi, Supré, and more.
The Journey
Cotton On Group wanted to create an impressive global headquarters, sentimentally located in the region of its roots - Geelong. The building, constructed using the foundations of a former factory, was to appear as if it had always been a part of the local fabric, with references to the industrial architecture of the area.
The offices would incorporate working spaces for over 1000 staff, as well as an on site restaurant and wellness centre - a groundbreaking space designed to encourage a work-life balance.
Cotton On Group enlisted celebrated Australian designer Greg Natale to devise a landmark workspace which masterfully merges the region’s industrious history with influences of luxury lodgings from around the world.
Collaborating with commercial workplace specialists PTID, Natale dreamed up a unique workplace space swathed in old-school grandeur, filled with the luxurious details one might find in a 5 star hotel. These offices would reflect Cotton On’s commitment to the comfort, wellbeing and success of their people.
The Solution
In order to meet the clients vision, Designer Rugs and Greg Natale approached this project with three distinct designs.
The Result
The final project is a dream workplace, perfectly attuned to the culture of Cotton On Group. Completely centered around its people, this is a truly unique space that uses the magic of design to influence mood and mindset.
