Shop the Look: Dollface on HULU

Have you ever daydreamed about what the perfect office would look like? If you’re me, you do all the time. I dream about different styles and layouts of offices based on the user’s needs. But when I dream of a super chic all-female power office, I dream of the Woom on HULU’s original series “Dollface.” I tried doing some research to find out who their set designer is, or where this gem of a spot is, but I came up empty handed. Please let me know if you have any insights into the amazing interior designer behind Woom.

As HULU slowly takes us through the day-to-day life of Jules, we see her working at Woom in the most incredible office environment. What makes it so awesome you might ask? Intentionality + creativity.

The conference room has glass (safety glazing) walls and a custom drapery rod around the top so the room can be closed off (via a curtain) for privacy at any time. Safety glazing is required by the IBC (International Building Code Section 2406) in any area that may be subject to human impact. Also- have you ever not been able to fit all the people in a conference room at once? Making the walls out of glass (safety glazing) allows chairs to be pulled up outside of the room as well. SPEAKING OF CHAIRS- who doesn’t love THESE chairs!? The gorgeous Loren Club Chair can be found on Wayfair and AllModern.

This custom built sunken lounge with custom upholstery is an incredible creative breakout area and it doubles as a quiet place to make a phone call. All that cushioning and pillows allows for substantial sound absorption and a little privacy. Imagine you and your team in the sunken lounge brainstorming new ideas. While the sunken lounge is a custom feature, there are millions of places to find pre-made velvet pillows. World Market has the widest range of colors at the most affordable price around. The key to getting the look above is to go with KNIFE EDGE pillows without fringe or welts around the edges. This gives the pillow a crisp & clean look. Very confident and matter-of-fact. (As matter-of-fact as a pillow can look lol.)

If you noticed the cluster of clear-bulb lights hanging above the sunken lounge, you’ll see ELK’s 7 light Boudreaux Chandelier in the Satin Brass finish. It is stunning. It is available in the two different sizes as shown above: the 7 light fixture (as seen in Woom’s office) and the larger 17 light chandelier. Besides purchasing this light from your local lighting company, it can also be purchased online at Shades of Light and Overstock.

Adjacent to the sunken lounge is the break area where a large wall mural says “You Look Like a Snack.” Haha cute! Next to this kitchenette is a large communal dining area where employees eat lunch. The chairs at this table can be found on many websites and are available in multiple colors as well. A few similar styles that I like can be purchased at AllModern, Overstock and Urban Outfitters.

The sconces on the walls are an old CB2 model that is no longer for sale. It’s actually really difficult to find something similar. If you’ve seen something comparable, please let me know! I’m guessing they either had a bunch of these when they built the set, or they loved the shape (how could they not) and had them custom made.

Wall sconces (and for the most part, pendants and chandeliers) are known as “accent lighting.” This means that they are not the sole reason the room is lit. These kinds of lights are like “jewelry” for the space and are intended to add character, style and impact. General overhead lighting is what actually illuminates the space. These types of lights have totally different lumen output and kelvin temperatures. We can get into the differences between these in another post. For now, back to Woom!

The basic task chair is a total basic bee of chairs right now. It is on literally every website imaginable- and for a good reason- it’s cute. It’s plush and it’s available in almost every color under the sun. A few similar styles can be found at Wayfair, Joss and Main, and Hayneedle. The desk dividers are most likely plastic, resin or some sort of tempered plexi-glass. They cannot be made out of regular glass for code compliance reasons. As mentioned earlier, it is against the IBC (International Building Code 2406) to have that much glass at those levels because if someone accidentally kicked or bumped into it, it would shatter and harm the person. Therefore, the USA has laws about things like this in order to keep the general public safe. I believe these translucent work-space dividers are a custom order from someone like 3form.

One of my favorite chairs OF ALL TIME is in the bossy lady’s office. It is the light pink guest chair with it’s asymmetrical sexiness. While this is not a one-of-a-kind piece, it is also not a cheap piece. This lovely lady starts at $1,095 for one chair. It definitely makes sense that it is in the owner’s office and not strewn about the office like Halloween candy. This is the Elroy Chair and it is available in three different versions: the left arm chair, the chair, and the right arm chair. Pictured above is the left arm chair. It is available for purchase on Mitchell Gold + Bob William’s website.

While I was not able to find the exact desk and executive desk chair for the boss’s office, I did find some similar styles. The desk is made of two columns of legs that have three brass legs each. The top of the table is made of one simple piece of glass. The chair has an extra-tall back in order to support the neck.

You may have also noticed three pendant lights hanging over the desk. These gold/ brass and a frosted glass shade can be found on many websites depending on what size and quality you want. The three lights pictured below are from Build.com, CB2 and Rejuvenation.

Finally, I want to make a confession to you… while this office is wonderful, it might not be perfect for you and your business. Read on to hear me out.

What I’m trying to say is your office could be even COOLER than Woom’s office. You could be in an office that is perfect for your business needs, your client needs and your BRAND needs. While Woom’s is super cool and attractive, I think it serves as a great example to show us that office design can be stunning when it’s focused on your mission, your brand and your clients.

YOU ARE WHAT MAKES YOUR OFFICE UNIQUE.

If you are interested in an office remodel, or building a new office, I would love to hear your vision, learn about your business and your clients. Then we can create the most incredible office you’ve ever seen! It will be WAY better than Woom’s office because it will be curated especially for your business. If you ever get to that point in your life, please reach out to me. I’d love to work with you.

Sincerely, Tara Miller
