It’s a sad fact of life that the majority of office workers will spend the bulk of their career residing in relatively uninspiring environments, such as cramped cubicles or white walled offices. Although some jobs are best suited to a clinical feeling office, it can be hard to let your creative side out when there is nothing in your surroundings to visually stimulate you.
Despite this, there are some aesthetically stunning offices around the world that very lucky people get to spend 5 days a week working in. The majority of these are owned creative and tech based companies, where inspiration and creativity plays a vital part in the success of their employees.
