Sopra Steria at Paris Design Awards 2026
2026-07-15awards

We are thrilled to announce that our project for the Sopra Steria Katowice office has received an Honourable Mention for Workplace Branding at the Paris Design Awards 2026. Drawing inspiration from the city's heritage, this 4,000 m² activity-based workplace was designed to serve over 1,000 hybrid employees.

Acting as a metaphor for technology and regional extraction, the space features mineral structures with hammered metal panels, tectonic tiles, and earthy ceramic finishes. We also integrated Katowice's modernist foundation through soft geometric forms, natural materials, a handcrafted wooden mosaic wall, and a custom neon sign referencing the iconic Kosmos cinema—all complemented by subtle graphics inspired by 1950s Silesian naïve art.

Thank you to Sopra Steria for the opportunity to design this flexible, contemporary spatial language. Huge congratulations to our FOURTH design team led by Zofia Kurczych, and a special shoutout to Space Wizzard for their outstanding space branding contributions.
