Spoonflower Headquarters: An SK Tour

I’ve only been obsessively designing and uploading my surface designs to Spoonflower for, oh you know, the better part of the last six years. 

So when the opportunity arose last week to actually get my physical self to their North Carolina headquarters, I did just that.

But wait. Before you think this post is going to be a guided tour of their amazing facilities, let me go ahead and make this perfectly clear. This post is a post like no other. Why? Because, good virtual friends, I’m about to give you the most concise and tailored tour of….wait for it…

THE BEST PLACES TO LIE DOWN once you’re inside Spoonflower Headquarters.

Oh yes, be stunned and amazed. And thank me in the form of pre-ordered fruit baskets scheduled to appear at my home’s front door. 

Thrilled and excited? You should be.

Let’s begin…

Once you have found your way to and arrived at Spoonflower’s Meridian Parkway address, parked your car and made it through the front doors, it is wise to spread out in the foyer to get a lay of the land…

You’ll not only be impressed by all the fine upholstery work, but you’ll quite likely find the carpeting to be on the lusciously plush side of office chic.

Head through the magical doors that divide mere common folk from those charged with the heroic task of printing any and everything under the sun onto reams of scrumptious fabric and you just might be lucky enough to spot a design or two of your own…

Such sights might become justifiably joyfully overwhelming, so you might consider resting for a bit. Maybe here is a good choice…

Or if you’re feeling a bit more social, you might consider a location like this…

While relaxing, you might just look up and notice a design or two of yours adorning some of the shelves, like #9 for example…

image

Why not shake things up a bit and move to a more open area of the great Spoonflower landscape. Taking some of their golden toys with you wouldn’t hurt either.

This might be a good time in the lovely tour of All-Things-Wonderfully-Spoonflower to consider a bathroom break. 

Take a moment to appreciate and give big mental kudos for “Best Bathroom Stall Decals EVER.” Because behold…

Once the call of nature has silenced itself, waste no time and get yourself right back into the center of things.

You’ll find that the carpet around Danielle’s desk is quite inviting…

Feel the need to be vertical again for a few odd minutes? No problem. Head on into one of the far offices and be welcomed with the surprise of an oversized plush unicorn.

Sure, this looks like a routine pony proctology exam, but in fact it’s a purple horsey tail that will hold your attention for a more time than anyone thought one ever could.

image

Say “until nayyyyyy-xt time!” to your new unicorn friend and head back out into the main floor area where you will find ample room to make unseasonable snow angels and whatever other poses you see fit.

The spatial options in this part of the Spoonflower floor plan are endless.

Interested in actual furniture that you might consider putting your body on versus the floor? Then head on back to the main lobby, where your clothing colors will be instantly coordinated with a complimentary palette.

Because you are one here (and pinks with orange are a classic pairing)…

image

Once you’ve experienced just how wonderful the people of Spoonflower are, go back to the point where you began your tour and bid everyone a fond farewell…

See you on the digital flip side, Spoonflower peeps! Thank you for a grand visit.

We knew your fabrics rock…and now we know your floor does too.

Double-score!
