In the very center of Hamburg, close to city hall, you can visit the latest addition to Hamburg’s coworking scene: Places. They opened their doors in November 2012, and make Eames fans drool over the awesomeness of their interior design. The founders are furniture dealers by profession and their love for contemporary furnishing is apparent here.

Eames and lounge chairs are all around, and the Bouroullec-brothers’ Algues envelop the open space. Coffee is served at Café Ray and private screenings take place at the in-house cinema Club Charles.

If you want your privacy, but don’t want to rent a private office, you can just go for the Workbox. For privacy: draw the curtain, for communication: open it. Between all the nice furniture, you will spot the Eames House Birds everywhere, watching you work. They are very cute, but we do not recommend watching Hitchcock’s “The birds” before coming here…

Places is a little pricy compared to the average coworking space in Munich, and thus appeals to a different target group. It definitely looks fancy in there and the nice and friendly staff is the cherry on top of the cake.
