Our visionary concept and pioneering work environments have made us the epicenter for groundbreaking new ideas. For this reason alone, we enjoy the highest appreciation of the most renowned national and international companies.
Company foundation
Michael O. Schmutzer anticipated at a very early stage what revolutionary changes were in store for the work environment. The passionate entrepreneur decided to become one of the catalysts of these developments and founded Design Offices in Nuremberg in 2008. His goal: to help shape New Work in Germany. At a time many companies were still shoving their employees into office cubicles, Schmutzer had already started creating special "working spaces" and offering them to companies as well as individuals by the hour, day, week or even for longer periods.
The basic idea behind it: New Work needs flexible work spheres in which everyone can work for themselves, but also together with others. Whether it's at a desk, in smaller lounges, larger conference rooms or even halls, always with special attention to an inspiring environment where design, vintage looks and, if desired, gastronomy combine.
»Thinking requires spaces in which it can sprout in all directions.«
Michael O. Schmutzer, Design Offices Founder
With this visionary concept and a pioneering architecture, Design Offices is now the most important platform for the topic of New Work and the design of new, customized work environments in Germany. The secret of Schmutzer's success lies in his meticulous research work, on the basis of which he developed the Design Offices method. As a result, Design Offices locations feature multifunctional work environments that can be used flexibly as needed. These are complemented by a wide range of services.
