Co-working space Work & Co has recently opened it’s doors in Cape Town, South Africa. The company was founded by entrepreneur Julien Verspieren. Julien explains of the new space, “I experienced the way that co-working spaces have taken off not just in South Africa, but globally, and how they are creating and supporting a new way to work”

“In Work & Co I wanted to create a unique space that people could draw inspiration from, interconnect through the latest technologies and grow their businesses. It combines the buzz of a coffee shop with the comforts of the most beautiful home, bringing a community of passionate entrepreneurs and creatives, working together under one roof. Work & Co is all about people”.

In the heart of Cape Town’s city bowl, Work & Co is located in Touchstone House on trendy Bree Street, with panoramic 360° views of the city. The interiors were designed by top Cape Town-based international designer, Andrea Graff, who combines vibrant colours with classic and modern pieces. These pieces add to the natural light and beauty of the space and make it a place for entrepreneurs to to feel at home, while the art surrounding the workspace (Julien’s other passion) enhances the creativity in the space.

“The co-working office space we have created reflects my belief that a work environment should be comfortable and congenial, enriching the user experience. We have brought in elements that make it feel lived in and established, layered and inspirational. It is like no other co-working office space in the country, it really pushes the boundaries, incorporating the work of some of South Africa’s best artists, designers and artisans.”, she explains.

Work & Co offers a number of different solutions for entrepreneurs and businesses of all shapes and sizes: Hot desks that can be rented per day, a shared office space area, all the way to private offices that can accommodate up to 15 people.
