PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the rich tapestry of influences that characterize the city, LinkedIn’s Toronto HQ environmental graphics are themed after the “cultural mosaic.” Within the 90,000-sf space, 104 individual graphics explore the connections and nuances that reflect the multicultural vibrancy of the city.
LinkedIn’s offices are rich experiences rooted in their values and brand story that inspire global impact, celebrate local flavor and connect people. In Toronto, we created a work environment that inspires collaboration and celebrates the spirit that makes their family uniquely “Toronto.” Because a workplace isn’t just a place to do work. It’s a place that excites and inspires employees to be their most productive selves.
LinkedIn’s workplace team and an advisory board comprised of local Toronto staff collaborated with our designers throughout the process. The DEI-focused advisory board also helped select local artists for special mural installations.
While the project primarily spotlights Toronto, the space serves as LinkedIn’s Canadian headquarters by reflecting near and far landscapes.
It takes more than paint to create a great place to work—it takes heart. LinkedIn Toronto HQ environmental graphics blends their unique culture, a playful sense of wit, and their anthemic brand spirit.
