Small custom tables such as this one are sprinkled throughout the space, each with a different image, to add to the overall Nautilus theme.

They added lots of delightful details all around the space, such as the cephalopod charm on the back of the rolling flat screen game hutch. All these little details make for a wonderful environment that continues to surprise.

These custom light fixtures are scattered throughout the office for additional lighting, but are made of a 10 $Ikea light, upside-down in a cnc-cut 'claw'. Add color-changing LED light bulbs, and they've produced affordable yet mysterious glowing lights.

They divided the space up into workgroups of four to five to better support the client's team structure. Screens like this one in the shape of a giant porthole are used throughout the office to help break up the space in a decorative way without walls.
