A story of design hope: Economy aside, bicycle manufacturer Trek has converted 20,000 square feet of their warehouse space into a new design center, Thing One, which officially opened on Friday.
The 20,000 sq ft studio is the new home for 55 designers working in environmental, retail, and industrial design alongside interactive, packaging, product graphic, and visual design teams. Also within the 'Thing One' environment is a world-class photo studio, retail merchandising areas, fabrication shop, and most importantly, a pro barista, only steps away.
Most impressively, by next month the entire facility will run on windpower and hydroelectric energy, making Trek bicycles good for the environment in more ways than one.
