we inherited a telecom company's design choices when we moved into their old offices. cringeworthy, the lot of them. (actually, the mural in the boardroom is well done but we should paint over it as it's one enormous branding exercise. and the table with the map of nyc is ok)
(actually, we have stunk up the place ourselves with the neon heart and all the record label specific art from the last place (we moved from an old ex-record label headquarters and had bought a lot of stuff relating to them for decoration))

I think I posted this before but this Mini is a meeting room at Rackspace
http://beautyandthebriefcaseblogs.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/office-design-london-rackspace.jpg
The reception area looks like a Mirror's Edge interior http://o.homedsgn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Rackspace-Office-03.jpg
They also have an indoor garden with swings.

I am horribly sorry, but I think that reception is gorgeous. 'Mini as a meeting room' makes me want to kill, though.
