Dot com start-up office interiors: Twitter

Posted by Adrian July 15 2009 09:54am

When I think of a dot com start up’s offices, my mind automatically paints of a picture from the heady ‘bubble’ era – staff sipping cappuccinos from expensive coffee machines while playing table football, plenty of ‘shabby chic’ (Amazon’s famous ‘door desks’ for example) and share certificates dispensers on the walls (in the style of hand towel dispensers in loos), ready to be taken by anyone willing to exchange services for shares.

So has a post-‘bubble’ era, when investors and start ups are more cautious, affected this office interior style? A recent article from Bobbie Johnson at The Guardian reveals some insight about the decorative style of Twitter’s offices. Here are some highlights:

  • They have 52 employees in a spacious office
  • They have a British red phone box and two life-size green deer at their offices
  • P Diddly turned up to their offices to congratulate them on their success and they have a photo of his visit in one meeting room
  • They have a big flat screen TV for staff to play video games during breaks

Clearly, the spirit lives on.
