Swissmiss: Face Time by Design

You may know her as an astute observer of design who shares her views on swissmiss. But Tina Roth Eisenberg is also what she calls the “queen of accidental businesses.” One of the recent ones is a work club. “I call it my happy place,” she says. “It’s where I get my energy. The people working there are amazing creatives. We have nerdy talks. My ideas for businesses come from those talks.” She’s not alone. In one survey, 87% of people using coworking spaces said they “generated at least one project started by coworkers who met in the coworking space.” It seems face time has its place. And so does a well-furnished space. As Tina says, “If the furniture isn’t visually interesting, it brings me down.”
Tina was recently featured on The Brander, check it out.
Brainstorming is one of my favorite parts of any project. However, I don’t have an iPhone so I’m unlikely to come up with the next great app idea!
I’ve noticed a lot of coworking spaces are either outfitted in white or with an emphasis on wood, stone, and brick. One evokes a laboratory and the other a residential space. Of course, all of the great ones use real office furniture for the sake of quality (as defined by the Swiss Miss).
