Co-working brand The Malin has just opened up a new location in Austin, Texas designed by local architecture studio Chioco. It is comprised of bright and light-filled workspaces along with some cozy lounges doused in burgundy hues for its members. This is the first location in the state and the sixth location nationally. The interiors are designed by the team in-house to create at atmosphere that feels residential using curated objects and plants.
The founder and CEO of Malin, Ciarán McGuigan shared with Dezeen, "As a resource for Austin's workforce, our aim is to provide a workspace that is as dynamic as the multi-faceted city itself, supporting and inspiring their most ambitious professionals." The color palette is warm with neutral decor -- the team notes, "The palette evokes the calming hours before daybreak, with deep burgundy and eggplant shades, and the rich velvet and mohair upholstery to provide an added element of luxury."
