Where trends take place

Trends Publishing's progressive ideas extend beyond its glossy magazines with the opening of its contemporary/industrial, open-plan offices in Ellerslie, Auckland.

Immediately they enter visitors are reminded that this is an international publishing house by the theatrical use of colour, form, space and materials. Two circular and tapering stair towers soar from just inside the glass entrance to the 8 metre high, pitched butterfly timber ceiling, further reinforcing the vertical connections between the two levels.

The black/white and tone-on-tone grey colour palette used in the public spaces has been intercepted on the mezzanine and private spaces with the use of bold accent colours.

Colours used to produce an exciting scheme for Trends Publishing were mostly selected from the The Range 2000.
