If you need artwork, my Dad’s gallery in Brighton~ Castle Fine Art has so much to offer, from Marvel originals to sculptures. It’s located in the Lanes in the building where the old Jack Wills used to be ☺️
Absolutely love that you're taking us on this journey of you and Zoe buying and renovating an office space! It's so good to see how you are going about everything. I have an office too which myself and my business partner renovated a couple of years ago. It's such an exciting thing to do. We think spotlight track lighting would look good in that space. In terms of an office chair which looks nice, good for your back and won't break the bank the IKEA HATTEFJÄLL Office chair is a good choice. Also don't forget an office sound system too! Get some Bose Designmax DM3SE's in white mounted on the walls for when you want some background music 😊 Hope that helps!
I’m gonna miss that old office! It was so beautiful and I know it was hard work renovating it, and didn’t know it was a rental (I thought maybe it was rented and you bought it after renovating) That said, i’m excited that you are starting this new chapter with a new office that’s officially yours!
For desks... I went to IKEA and got a massive table top and legs and made my own desk. It was way more affordable because I really just needed a big space to work on! You can customize, paint it, get the legs you want and just screw them to the bottom of the table. Highly recommend if you just need massive tables for a more start-up vibe for desks!! Xx
I don’t know why, but I love watching you and Zoe’s vlogs once it hits the “ber” months because your guys vlogs get me in that cozy Christmas vibe all the time 😫
I am so fascinated by this renovation and am so excited to watch the process! thank you for taking us along for the process, and congratulations to you and Zoe on the achievement!
As a licensed commercial interior designer in the US (who specializes in workplace design), I’m always fascinated by offices in other countries. Your building codes allow for so much more!! Can’t wait to see the finished space!
I think some graffiti artwork of your company name A to Z on the wall as you walk up the stairs to your office would be really cool! Also, loved that you and Zoe have bought your own office space - such an achievement!! Thanks for taking us along the renovation journey too :-)
Love the retro design with the hoodies! Definitely on my wishlist now :)) The new office is gonna look great guys with the cottage design. Excited to see it finished :D
Definitely make a mural you should get Sean to do it his artwork is amazing. Also oh the hanging loop put a hanging chair their, would make a good insta spot as well.
I love the idea of going with that industrial theme for the office. As for chairs, I can fully recommend my office chair I have at home. It's the ID Soft from Vitra and I know that it's not the most extraordinary looking chair, because honestly it looks like a normal office chair but, after spending hours in this chair due to the current situation, it's amazing that I haven't had any back issues yet. In general I feel like a more clean interior would look really good with your building.
Wow, so excited for you and Zoe on your next venture. You’ve both worked so hard and achieved loads. Fair play, well done. Wishing you both all the love and happiness🍾🥂
So nice you uploaded same day. For me it’s 11:00 am, so my day’s kind of starting and yours is finishing kind a crazy to think that, the time difference is real.
I'm really interested to see how the renovations go and how you style it! To be honest, it looks dark and the slanted ceiling makes it look really small. It doesn't look as open as your previous space. I definitely get the New York loft vibes you were talking about! I can't wait to see the finished place!
Alfie, there are these glass windows that you can buy that shifts from see through and frosted glass with the push of a button! My office was looking into installing it in the meeting rooms and I feel like it would be really cool for the top half of your meeting rooms! It’s great for when you are having a confidential meeting and want to have more privacy
This is my first time watching ur blogs again since like the end of 2017 bc I barely had time to watch UA-cam and let me tell you it felt so good to hear that into again🤯👌🏼.
My office desk is extra long! I bought a white ikea countertop and their bamboo legs and screwed them on. Looks so clean and is way bigger than a regular desk!
Really great video Alfie! So excited for you and Zoe in your new office space! It's going to look awesome! I'd love to know what model your new camera is, am currently looking for a new camera myself. Thanks!
As far as art, check out Print Club London! They have the best selection of original artwork from local UK artists! They are all so lovely there and have such a unique and wide selection of work that you can’t go wrong with them!
Thanks for answering lots of questions, loved seeing it! For the next update, I assume yours and Zoe’s teams will be working in this office. What part of the office will there desks be? The first room?
I love the CEO’s office chair on the show ‘Super Girl’. They actually made the chair for the show. Took a tall velvet wingback chair and added wheels and a swivel.
Alfie... you should consider up / down motorized desks to give them an option to stand. I have a studio and this is a thing for some of the staff, and becoming more popular. To make them aesthetically pleasing is a tough thing to do, but worth it. IKEA do some really nice white ones, as a starting point, but there are much better ones out there... they are just more expensive :)
i got the biggest desk ikea had to offer cuz i was doing art gcse and i needed space to paint and stuff but it was super ugly, so i covered it in kitchen worktop vinyl marble effect and it looks unreal now,,,,maybe it would be fun to have each desk a different patterned or colour vinyl that people can pick. also mine winds up and down as well so u can get a posture chair and it will be adjustable xx i also jus did up my room to make it like a modern hollywood style room so i have tonnes of other suggestions that are a decent price, i did my entire room for around 10 grand and it is so magical now.
Alfie mate, tell us about the white shelving unit in the main office. Was it already there or have you had it installed yourself? Is it modular? Am looking for something similar for my own renovation. Cheers! :)
Is your warehouse for FS not in the building you now own? I love my Uno Task Chair by Steelcase. I find it so comfy and easy to work in all day. I've had my newest one for over 3 years and prior 7 years before having to replace it. Price is pretty good and it comes in so many nice colors.
Idea for the sliding doors: Instead of a barn style sliding door, you might want to consider a pocket door as it would shut out a lot more sound than a barn door would, and with this being an office space, there's going to be ambient sound.
Hey Alfie! I am so excited for your new office--it is going to look amazing! Regarding office chair suggestions, that's my specialty! I work for a company called Steelcase which is one of the top office furniture brands in the world. And even better, the Wall Street Journal just listed us as one of the top 100 Most Sustainably Managed Companies in the World! We are completely carbon neutral now, and are on the way to being carbon negative, climate positive over the next few years! I know that really aligns with your vision and mission as well. I have a few suggestions for you to look into: 1. Our 3D Mesh Think chairs combine top-of-the-line ergonomics with a light aesthetic (I feel like often nice office chairs are really chunky). I sit in a Think chair every day and I love it. 2. For a more economical option that is still really comfortable and sleek, the new Series 2 chair could be a great option for you! 3. West Elm and Steelcase have partnered to create ergonomic and stylish seating options if you're hoping for more of a lounge look. I would check out the Sterling collection since they have typical caster chair options but also wooden leg guest chairs with the same seat if you wanted to be cohesive throughout various parts of the office. If you have any questions or are interested, give me a shout! I'd love to help you find the perfect solutions. (insta is probably easiest--@sarahwicker)
Your sister's boyfriend is an artist

Love that over the years you went from “pointlessvlog” to a channel and brand meant to inspire and give people purpose!

Why don't you hire Sean to do cool mural, his art is A++++
I’m gonna miss that old office! It was so beautiful and I know it was hard work renovating it, and didn’t know it was a rental (I thought maybe it was rented and you bought it after renovating) That said, i’m excited that you are starting this new chapter with a new office that’s officially yours!
would you not get Seanelliottoc to do some art for you hes brilliant

There is only 30 days in November. So 31st November for your future self drop is kinda impossible! 🙈
I would look into Herman Miller ergonomic chairs. Love the office reno, so glad you’re taking us on this journey!
I am so fascinated by this renovation and am so excited to watch the process! thank you for taking us along for the process, and congratulations to you and Zoe on the achievement!
When it's all finished do a tour I'm loving it
Alf... I miss the morning backflip 😭
Yaayyy a video before I leave for work! Thank you this brightens my day! All my love from Michigan ❤️
I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THE FINISHED OFFICE!!! This is so sick! Love the look of it so far and all the ideas you guys have!
As a licensed commercial interior designer in the US (who specializes in workplace design), I’m always fascinated by offices in other countries. Your building codes allow for so much more!! Can’t wait to see the finished space!
Do the team members have offices as well? Or do they just sit in the „entrance area“ where the brick wall is?
I think some graffiti artwork of your company name A to Z on the wall as you walk up the stairs to your office would be really cool! Also, loved that you and Zoe have bought your own office space - such an achievement!! Thanks for taking us along the renovation journey too :-)
Love the retro design with the hoodies! Definitely on my wishlist now :)) The new office is gonna look great guys with the cottage design. Excited to see it finished :D
Definitely make a mural you should get Sean to do it his artwork is amazing. Also oh the hanging loop put a hanging chair their, would make a good insta spot as well.
Where’s the teams desks/office spaces going to be? So like you and Zoe seem to have your own separate areas
I've been having a shitty day and I know this is going to fix my mood so thank you Alf ❤
I love the idea of going with that industrial theme for the office. As for chairs, I can fully recommend my office chair I have at home.

Alfie: uploads
Me: screw homework
loving the new office so far and I can't wait to see what it will look like once its done! x
I been waiting for you or Zoe to upload all weekend 🥺 I'm waking up to this and I'm so happy!!!! Love your vlogs Alf 💛
So nice you uploaded same day. For me it’s 11:00 am, so my day’s kind of starting and yours is finishing kind a crazy to think that, the time difference is real.
The new office space looks so good! It would turn out very beautiful! 🥰
Get desks that can be sitting and then electronically push a button and they become a stand up desk... better for health ..🥰
I'm really interested to see how the renovations go and how you style it! To be honest, it looks dark and the slanted ceiling makes it look really small. It doesn't look as open as your previous space. I definitely get the New York loft vibes you were talking about! I can't wait to see the finished place!
We put brick slips in our kitchen. Our friends thought I was mad but they all love them now and so many places use them now. Yours look amazing!!!
Seeing your upload notification pop up..immediately put a smile on my face 😁Can’t wait to see the office completely transform!! 🧡
I love it already!!I can’t wait to see Zoe’s perspective too! You guys are so inspiring with your design 😍
Alfie, there are these glass windows that you can buy that shifts from see through and frosted glass with the push of a button! My office was looking into installing it in the meeting rooms and I feel like it would be really cool for the top half of your meeting rooms!

love the office updates! excited for the new office and what's to come :)
This is my first time watching ur blogs again since like the end of 2017 bc I barely had time to watch UA-cam and let me tell you it felt so good to hear that into again🤯👌🏼.
Your vlogs make me unbelievably happy! Thank you for sharing your life
This was a great vlog, loved that it was made and uploaded today.
Congrats on the new office
Hey alfie your vlogs make me happy
So excited to follow along the Office-project!!! 😍
I think the yellow that’s already in the kitchen is much much better than darker mustard tone. Anyone else?
My office desk is extra long! I bought a white ikea countertop and their bamboo legs and screwed them on. Looks so clean and is way bigger than a regular desk!
Love love love office renovation updates!
Really great video Alfie! So excited for you and Zoe in your new office space! It's going to look awesome! I'd love to know what model your new camera is, am currently looking for a new camera myself. Thanks!

The intro music is such a vibe
Alfie your videos make me so happyyyyyyyyyy
You and Zoe seem so happy! Congrats guys💕
i love your outside decorating. 😍😍
The E2 tables by Egon Eiermann are a classic in architecture offices.
And very pretty as well.
So exciting! Can't wait to see more renovation vlogs. Please could you leave a link for the brick slips? :)
Surely Sean or Joe can do some great art for you.
Thanks for answering lots of questions, loved seeing it! For the next update, I assume yours and Zoe’s teams will be working in this office. What part of the office will there desks be? The first room?

just a heads up at 2:08 you say the launch is on the 31st of november, but at 2:35 you put october
The office looks so good! X
Sean should do the artwork! His art is so sick!!
How long is the renovation expected to take? Looks like a massive job but also looks like it’s moving quickly! 😊
I love watching you guys
A 27 minute vlog?????? Yes please 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I have a really good chair from IKEA, the Långfjäll. You have many options to make the ideal chair!
For the desks try out wood and resin ones they look awesome and personal
Thank you for all the videos lately.
Maybe consider asking Joe for some prints. His artwork and doodles are so creative and fun to look at. :)
i got the biggest desk ikea had to offer cuz i was doing art gcse and i needed space to paint and stuff but it was super ugly, so i covered it in kitchen worktop vinyl marble effect and it looks unreal now,,,,maybe it would be fun to have each desk a different patterned or colour vinyl that people can pick. also mine winds up and down as well so u can get a posture chair and it will be adjustable xx
i also jus did up my room to make it like a modern hollywood style room so i have tonnes of other suggestions that are a decent price, i did my entire room for around 10 grand and it is so magical now.
my 5 month old daughter was hysterically laughing at you at the end part of the video for some reason lol. shes a silly lil lady.
The office is so spacious. I think you will design it so good..
Congrats on the new office!! It looks so exciting 😊
I’m an interior design student and I would love to work with you guys whether it’s an art project or general design advice! Love you all xx
I think it's going to be a great space once finished!
Encourage Zoe to do some paintings for the office!!! Her art work in gcse used to be amazing. xx
Ask sean to design your office.. he is an great artist :)
For office chair / gaming chair highly recommend secret lab.. you will love it!
So happy for you guys and the new office 🎉
Alfie mate, tell us about the white shelving unit in the main office. Was it already there or have you had it installed yourself? Is it modular? Am looking for something similar for my own renovation. Cheers! :)
I stock Harry's all the time at work! Nice products and designs!
Wow, this is cool. Your new office space will be awesome. Thanks for sharing the updates here and there.
Hey I'm a big fan and being goin through so much lately and ur videos have definitely helped xx💚💜❤♥️🥺🥺and first omg
When are you expected to move into the office? So excited for your new journey!
Try ikea for desks that’s where I got mine at the start of lockdown and it’s bloody massive
Love your vlogs, as always :) Also, Zoe's outfit is so cool!
Is your warehouse for FS not in the building you now own?
I love my Uno Task Chair
by Steelcase. I find it so comfy and easy to work in all day. I've had my newest one for over 3 years and prior 7 years before having to replace it. Price is pretty good and it comes in so many nice colors.

What size do you wear of the Future Self hoodie? Trying to judge which size to get to understand if it comes up small or baggy.
Sean's gotta do artwork for the office! :D

First I love yours and zoe's videos so much
Have you got a luts on this video? The colours look great! Also, which camera did you get? x
the spray paint colours on your motorcycle are sick!
hi! i love this vlog already
Bodybilt chairs are amazing and uplift desk are great
Really happy for you two!!! Well done guys :-)
HumanScale have some nice looking ergonomic office chairs. Particularly the Liberty Task Chair
Loving the vlogs atm
The title of this vlog made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Skylight windows on second floor would look cool with those skylight windows that transform into balconies!!
What if you guys put mirrors on the ceiling?? In the brick wall room..
It will reflect more light i think.
Cant wait to see what you guys do with the space.
