Studio O+A: Twelve True Tales of Workplace Design offers a comprehensive but playful look at the San Francisco firm that revolutionized workplace design. This book takes readers through Studio O+A's earliest days as a two-person space planning company in Fremont, California to its present day prominence as the creator of groundbreaking offices for Facebook, Yelp, Uber, Cisco, Microsoft and many others.
In keeping with O+A's unique approach to design, Twelve True Tales reimagines the traditional designer's monograph as a company self-portrait with quirky design proverbs, behind-the-scenes photos and a graphic novel insert that presents the firm's history with characteristic irreverence. It also showcases O+A's best work over 26 years and digs deep into the principles and processes that guide design at this one-of-a-kind company.
