Chic golf clothing brand Malbon’s new office in Santa Monica looks more like an elegant version of a 1970s-inflected interior than a workplace in a 1950s warehouse. 22RE, taken by the building’s barrel-vaulted Douglas fir ceiling, outfitted the space in custom millwork and walnut detailing. The color palette draws from the lifestyle brand’s main colors: green for grassy golf courses, blue for the sky, and yellow for the bunkers. But it’s the custom features that elevate the space.

Bespoke built-in seating at the entrance nods to the influential Neutra VDL Studio and Residences with yellow upholstery and a wooden, low-slung frame. The layout revolves around the central unit, a printing station, and a call room/lounge. Around the space, custom wood desks by 22RE include built-in storage that serves as a partition between workstations. The desks are modular to accommodate 36 employees, with the potential to expand to 42.

On the other side of the core, the creative spaces include a custom pinup board on a track system that allows it to slide open, revealing a bookcase. Below the bookcase, shelving for swatches and samples organizes materials for staff. Executive offices flank the space; each is equipped with a modular millwork unit—also designed by the architects—to account for shifting workplace demands.

“We really enjoy working on offices, because I think we’re approaching offices in a unique way, breaking the rules of the environment,” said the founder of 22RE, Dean Levin. Partly open, partly strategically divided, the design delivers a sleek space that considers a designer’s creative needs.
