Government > Inspectie van het Onderwijs

Meeting room tables shaped like big flower pots. Functional steel cabinets inside a wooden box. Colourful, fantasy images along the staircases. Examples of remarkable elements in the new office of the Inspectie van het Onderwijs (Educational Inspection Board) in Utrecht.

Gispen, again, supplied the furniture entirely. IVO chose zones in which either communication or concentration are the main activity. Studying or obtaining information on either side of these. Discussion, small talk, meetings and lounge facilities all have their own little zones and rooms.

Gispen Meta filing cabinets are placed inside a wooden box, hiding it’s functional nature, yet facilitating individual employees to store personal or group information.
