“NYC DAYNIGHT IN BLACK&WHITE”

Hamburg, April 24, 2015 – Yesterday, photo designer Stefan Schöning exhibited his work for the first time in Hamburg at the Satellite Office Business Center. 250 renowned guests from business and politics in the Hanseatic city, as well as from all over Germany, traveled to New York with his fascinating photos – what a great evening!

With the exhibition “NYC dayNight in black&white”, Stefan Schöning focuses on the artistic component of his work and delighted everyone at the opening ceremony with his photo series on the Big Apple. Saxophonist Birte Jessel shone with musical pieces ranging from jazz to soul, rounding off the evening with New York flair. The Satellite Office Business Center Hamburg, with its innovative office infrastructure inspired by American models, provided the perfect setting!

The USA, and New York in particular, are pioneers in the design of flexible workplaces. The clearly emerging trend is aptly summarized in one word: “Sharing”! In Germany, too, the concept of sharing is already working extremely well in many sectors and areas. Cars are shared here, as are apartments, jobs and, in the wake of the increasingly dynamic entrepreneur, who can pursue his business anywhere and at any time with mobile devices and comprehensive Internet coverage, offices too, of course. After all, the frequent traveler does not need a permanent office but only an occasional workplace, ideally one in a professional business environment, sometimes in Berlin, then in Hamburg or Munich.

The Satellite Office Business Center in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg meets the rapid developments in increasingly dynamic working environments. Here, the classic office center skilfully merges with open coworking spaces to create a modern office infrastructure that completely redefines flexible workplaces and office space use. Fully furnished and lockable offices for sole use have been conceptually developed into shared offices so that entrepreneurs can share a team office with several companies and thus also the office costs. Another innovative feature is the coworking space, which is located in a separate and quiet area of the business center and enables concentrated work instead of loud open-plan noise. Closed office boxes based on the American model are available for frequent callers.

Last but not least, the ubiquitous world wide web, smartphones and tablets are making effective networking increasingly necessary and more and more important. Terms from the States, such as Silicon Valley, web 2.0, google and Facebook, have long since become part of our everyday lives and have become indispensable. Here, too, we share: Contacts, opinions, emotions, images. How can we incorporate this trend from the USA into the design of a future-oriented working world when we also have to bear in mind that the real business opposite is being closed? With courage and a lot of ingenuity, with generously designed open spaces that invite the exchange of ideas and with meeting rooms for discreet discussions and negotiations. With a spacious bistro bar and many open lounge areas with a vintage look that exude a cosmopolitan yet private atmosphere, Satellite Office is revolutionizing the business center industry in Hamburg! The works of photo designer Stefan Schöning can also be seen, “liked” and discussed here.

If you ask the artist: “What makes a good picture?” he answers: “Creativity! The courage to take on new perspectives. The experience of waiting for the right moment and an eye for the extraordinary.” How fitting that he is exhibiting his works at the Satellite Office Business Center and for the first time in Hamburg. Because here, too, creativity, experience and the extraordinary come together. The combination of the office world and the impressive photos in the “NYC dayNight in black&white” exhibition once again provides innovative impetus and fuel for professional creativity.
