The 1960s film Playtime by renowned French director Jacques Tati set the tone for this whimsical co-working office that Masquespacio has designed in Valencia.
Cabinette is a co-working space for creatives set inside a mixed-use building in Valencia's La Fuensanta neighbourhood.

It takes over a ground-floor unit that was originally fit-out to serve as an apartment. Leaving the existing bathroom facilities in place, interiors studio Masquespacio reconfigured the rest of the floor plan to accommodate a series of work areas for Cabinette's members.
The studio's founders, Christophe Penasse and Ana Milena Hernández Palacios, wanted to give the 200-square-metre space a retrofuturist aesthetic that's attractive to millennials but also makes "a clear wink to the past".
A particular point of reference was Playtime ? a 1967 comedy film directed by Jaques Tati that follows character Monsieur Hulot as he navigates a gadget-filled version of future Paris.
It's revered for its satirical take on modern life and was also included in Dezeen's list of 10 films with amazing architecture.

"We once visited a museum installation here in Valencia where they showcased some fragments of the movie, especially a moment where the leading actor goes to a meeting," Penasse told Dezeen.

In the film, when Hulot arrives at the meeting, he enters a huge office where each employee's desk is closed in by a cabinet-lined box ? a feature which inspired Cabinette's name.
