Redwood Interiors

Being located in Vyttila means we deal with a lot of traffic just getting to the office every morning. Redwood Interiors is tucked away there, and if you walked in, you would probably see wood samples and fabric swatches scattered across almost every flat surface. It’s a bit chaotic, but we know where everything is. The smell of cut wood is always there, even if we aren't doing the heavy work right in this room. We spend a lot of time with tape measures and pencils, trying to figure out how things will fit together. The floor is usually a bit dusty because people are always coming in from sites with dirt on their shoes. We have an old sofa in the corner for visitors, though it usually has a bunch of blueprints sitting on it. It’s not a polished showroom; it is more like a workspace where ideas actually get put down on paper. The lighting is okay, but we often have to move things to the window to see the real colors of the materials. Vyttila is a central spot, so we are always hearing the buses and cars outside. It is a busy atmosphere, and we are usually juggling three or four things at once. We don't really do the whole corporate image thing; we just wear comfortable clothes and get to work on whatever the current project is.
