DeskLodge undergoes rebranding for next chapter

By Bristol24/7  Friday Aug 1, 2025

After ten years of colourful disruption in the flexible workspace scene, DeskLodge has officially rebranded, revealing a new visual identity and refined message that better reflects its evolution.

Founded in 2015 in Bristol, DeskLodge was one of the early players in the UK coworking movement. Back then, coworking was still niche, flexibility was considered a perk, and bold, playful spaces helped the brand stand out in a corporate landscape.

Founder Tom Ball was inspired by a visit to Google’s London office, where he saw a refreshing departure from the dreary, uninspiring workplaces people had come to loathe. He wondered: could fun and playfulness be part of the modern workplace environment? And so, DeskLodge was born.

Now, as flexible work becomes the norm and hybrid teams grow more intentional about where and how they work, DeskLodge is stepping into its next chapter.

“This rebrand is about clarity. About alignment. About showing the world the DeskLodge our members already know,” says Tom Ball, founder of DeskLodge.

“We’re still DeskLodge—just more us than ever.”

DeskLodge’s refreshed brand aims to highlight the company’s core values: energising environments, grown-up thinking without the corporate grey, and a community-first approach built for businesses on the rise.

Their spaces now cater not just to creative freelancers, but also to high-growth teams, remote-first companies, and regional outposts for national brands.

“Over the past ten years, we’ve evolved — and so have our members,” Ball added. “We’ve refined our spaces, deepened our community model, and sharpened our offering. The rebrand simply brings our identity in line with what we’ve become.”

DeskLodge’s playful roots remain, but now, they’re paired with a grown-up confidence that mirrors its members’ own journeys.

DeskLodge has won many accolades since its inception in 2015
