When Architect Rakesh Pate got the job of decoration the office of Saket Communications which is one of the best creative agencies in Pune, he decided to quirk up things a bit. “One fine day I got a call from the Soumendu Kuber, who is the creative director of the agency, that he wanted me to design an office space for him. All he said was that I don’t want anything usual, do something out of the box for me... that’s it that’s all the brief I got from him” quotes Rakesh the chief Interior decorator. The office space has truly come out to be out of the box with unusual colour combinations, hidden spaces for storage which perfectly blend with the background and yes a hidden cabin for the boss. “I wanted to try something which I never had done. I wanted to go beyond the creative limits of interior decoration and really do something unusual. For that first I had to think out of the box. I did all the possible methods to broaden my mind... I did meditation, searched for references, secluded myself from the usual, but in vain, the inspiration for my work seems to have been lost somewhere in the depths of creative pit. Bin in my office was almost over filled with crumpled and discarded sheets of paper. Then one day, it came to me like a lightning and I knew just what to do” says Rakesh about his revelation moment. From there started his journey to design the quirkiest office he has designed till now. Every room of the office has a unique design and yet the rooms merge into one another to create a flow of the elements. Unlike the grey office spaces, this office has a rich combination of vibrant and unusual colour combinations like green, black, yellow blue and so on. “Deciding upon the colour scheme of the office was a huge task, as people who would be utilising this space are all creative minds. Thus to match their calibre and creativity, every room was given different colour schemes according to the departments. In many places we decided to remove the wall to give people to walk around freely.”
