Paul Frank Industries, Costa Mesa, CA

Corporate Office Concept: Paul Frank Industries: It all started with a plastic hand-sewn wallet bearing the smiling face of Julius, the monkey; which expanded to inspiring youthful clothing trends and fun accessory products. The Owner, Pual Frank's inspirational designs were influenced by the artist, Andy Warhol, and by the music from the 1960's - 70's in which he often said, "learn 4 cords and now start a band".  Paul Frank corporate design is of a retro era style which supports the corporate philosophy of "bringing old to new", while the focus is on fun, innocence and freedom, resulting in a unique workplace environment.  There is an actual treehouse in the corporate office where Paul Frank encourages play to stimulate creative concepts to be developed and his sewing machine is found on the table ready to go to work.
