At The Office: Office Envy | Aerin Lauder

Last Spring, Aerin Lauder announced the creation of her new home furnishing and fashion line, AERIN. Junior Lauder, who is currently the creative executive and taste maker at her grandparents business hopes to bring the family flair for colourful designs by the means of tableware, fabric, housewares, and jewellery. Much of which will be inspired by pieces owned and collected by Aerin's grandmother, Estée Lauder.  Though the collection is not set to launch until this Autumn, if they are inspired by the Aerin headquaters – its bound to be something to get very excited about!

Aerins office, featured in this month's issue of Architectural Digest, packs a colourful punch.  "Estée always loved colour - living with it, wearing it, entertaining with it--so I've never been afraid of it.  I've always embraced it," says Aerin in the AD feature. Aerin has layered the former art gallery with colours and textures to make it look very personal and inviting.  The main room, anchored in neutral sea-grass carpeting and filled with a mix of modern and classic furniture, feels more like a private residence than an office.
To me - surrounding my workspace with beautiful things that make me happy is so important, its incredible what a bunch of fresh flowers and some daylight can do when tapping at a keyboard all day. If I had Aerins office, I'd probably want to spend more time at work than home...
What makes you happy in your workspace?
