Mercury is an early stage venture capital firm focused on software companies. Their founders were inspired by NASA’s Mercury Program mission to explore the heavens and expand man’s scientific horizons. The design team strove to capture the spirit and culture of that moment in history.

Icons of 50’s art and architecture set the stage at the front door with a breeze block screen, George Nelson inspired furniture, and Sputnik lights. The heart of the project is a work lounge where employees and local tech leaders gather. Further tributes to NASA are expressed with murals of planetary charts and imagery from JFK’s Moonshot Speech.
