I was anxious to see their office, since a) I'm always curious about the spaces in which other designers work, and b) the work on their site shows a sleek, modern aesthetic. Indeed, their loft space at The Met is just the kind of office I'd like to have... tall ceilings, tons of windows, concrete floors, and that touch o'Ikea that's a pre-requisite to loft living/working. (Also, The Met has a cool entrance feature, where blocks on the ground light up -- and sound...
