You may have already seen pictures of the coolest offices of some of the most cutting-edge businesses on the plant, including the likes of Facebook, Skype and Twitter. Of course, Google has long made its mark as a world leader in iconic and unashamedly forward looking office design. Breaking down traditional concepts of what a workspace should look and feel like, the only limit is the creative imagination of the office designer, or their client.
The results can be truly spectacular, and must be a total joy to work in. Here are some of the most jaw dropping office designs we could find all over the world, and they’re not limited to social media companies either. Feast your eyes and tell your boss!

4. French video game developer Ubisoft commissioned an office design to stimulate creativity while being functional at the same time. We think they may well have achieved the impossible.
