		<description><![CDATA[BOS is a proudly South African ice tea company known for its striking branding, brightly coloured packaging and iconic Afro identity. “Not just an ice tea”, BOS likes to engage, have fun, give joyful experiences and share a sense of life and living. After working together on the BOS Expo stand in 2012, BOS commissioned Haldane Martin to design the interior for its new office extension. The BOS offices are located in Fairweather House in the centre of Woodstock’s creative business hub, an old industrial building converted into office space that houses art galleries, a publisher and small local businesses. BOS wanted to create a bright, colourful and casual work environment that would add a splash of colour and flavour to the office block. BOS’s office extension includes a new reception area, an ice tea bar, a hot desk for sales and marketing, and meeting spaces. Throughout the space, design elements speak to the primary colour scheme of the BOS brand, while the repetition of circular elements reinforce the shape of the company logo. The reception incorporates the BOS  Expo stand designed by Haldane Martin, which includes a prime place for the the award-winning BOS Vending Robot that urges consumers to &#8220;tweet for tea&#8221;.
