The Workrooms of History

The workroom—in this age of smartphones and tablets such a phenomenon is no longer relevant. With just one electronic device in your hand, you can work anywhere—a cafe, a park, or in the car. Yet creative people still seem to crave a sacred space that they can call their own. A space that is made unique by slight details like lighting, color palette, and choice of furniture. Today we present photographs of the workrooms of famous, innovative people. These interiors are preserved to this day and maintain the spirit of the talented individuals that once inhabited them.
