Since its founding in 1991, Volcom has
grown from a company focused on action
sportswear to one that embodies the
creative spirit and lifestyle of youth culture.
Volcom's avant-garde approach to clothing
and branding has set it apart in the action
sports industry and beyond. Throughout
the years, Volcom grew into a recognized
international lifestyle company; however,
their headquarters facility was woefully
undersized and did not reflect their brand.
With the majority of space dedicated
to warehouse and distribution, Volcom
decided to move the warehouse function
off site and renovate that space for the
headquarters expansion.
Relying on the Volcom brand for
inspiration, our design team at LPA Inc.
crafted an almost bohemian aesthetic --
incorporating simple, utilitarian materials,
used in an extraordinary way. Elements
such as raw wood, fiberglass, metal and
fabric define and reinforce the Volcom
image.
The finished Volcom corporate office
is a reflection of the goals, aspirations
and highly defined brand that has made
Volcom one of the most internationally
successful action sports apparel
companies in the world today. Journey
with us through the evolution of Volcom's
corporate headquarters.
