Home office space with whiteboard paint
ESCREO
My Design, an architecture and interior design studio, uses ESCREO whiteboard paint to design comfortable, organised and creative home offices. The passion of their team is to put function above form without compromising on the wishes of the user. This is how they make interiors subject to the daily activities, hobbies and needs of their clients. They also witness the evolution of home and “home office” space, new solutions for more comfort when working from home and new distribution planning trends that can be taken into account in an upcoming residential interior fit out or refurbishment of an apartment. They share that "just as we have not deprived ourselves of the comforts of the modern world, so we want to expand the field of useful materials, surfaces and useful ideas". A traditional whiteboard raises some issues that whiteboard paint does not and one can still write on and wipe off as much as they would like. This is a lot of fun for children and it is expanding the range of writable surfaces for creative expression. It turns out to be fun also for us, the grown-up ones, at the same time convenient and super useful. Today, ESCREO whiteboard paint is part of the evolutionary process of communication. It brings creativity, motivation and productivity to your home office. You can read more details in our interview with Arch. Iva Tsalovska where we discuss applicable home office solutions and the changes in the home interior over the last two years.

Hence why they are working to reduce and balance their carbon footprint on their journey towards becoming the first carbon neutral company in the industry of writable paints by the end of 2022. At the heart of this transition towards a sustainable company are the conscious choices taken over the past few months. In addition to the green invoicing that ESCREO has adopted since the very beginning of their operations, they have recently started planting a tree for every order placed via their website. Their latest green initiative is related to the offsetting of the carbon footprint of their goods and services. This allowed ESCREO to provide the first carbon neutral whiteboard paint on the market. And this is just the next step on their way to a more sustainable company, also part of their conscious roadmap.
