I think they tried very hard to make the place look organic, but you if look carefully everything just seems contrived. I think it's sort of the uncanny valley of interior decoration, which I see quite often these days.

It probably serves more as a function to impress clients than to actually inspire creativity.

If I were them I would've let the employees decorate their own spaces. Could've saved a bunch of money that way. I would've also chose a house with garden over Manhattan, but then again I don't run a consulting company.

Exactly. "Comfy" was not the word that came to mind. It looks more like a showroom than a creation cove.

My favourite quote: "where people can take a break from their computer screens, or stimulate creativity by changing their environment."

Stimulate creativity? What?

agreed! very pretentious. when i look at this space, i imagine immaculately-dressed people standing around congratulating themselves on how fabulous they are.
