Atelier & Co by Vansika Jain
BSc in Interior Design
Most co-working spaces feel like the waiting rooms at the dentist’s office. Atelier & Co, cooked up by Vansika Jain, the winner of the Innovative Workspace Solutions Award, gets designers and architects. It’s not just a spot to plop your laptop and slog through emails. It’s like a playground for anyone whose idea of fun is colour swatches and a good pencil. The word “workspace” doesn’t even cover it. It’s a place that remembers you’re human—some days full of caffeine and ambition, some days just needing somewhere to breathe.
The generic desk farm vibe is forsook for something that feels alive. Stuff like cubicle roller papers, shapeshifting seats for teams to huddle or folks to just vibe solo, and desks that morph to fit your working mood. Atelier & Co grows with you—they deeply thought about the designers that flit between frantic group brain dumps and the lone-wolf deep work zoners.
This whole “Pause” theme is sneaky but smart. Anyone who’s had to design on a deadline knows they need space to zone out or wander aimlessly. Here, there are chill corners just for zoning out, a material library to get lost in when inspiration refuses to show up, and lounges that gradually lead to nap time.
Vansika Jain took the tired coworking template, crumpled it up, and sketched something useful—from the creative spark to the occasional need to just do nothing. Atelier & Co isn’t just about cranking out work; it’s about those pauses in between, the little mental pit stops that help designers do better, fresher things. You walk in feeling overloaded, you walk out buzzing with new ideas. That’s the magic here—no sterile office required.
