The Guardian is moving to new premises in London’s King’s Cross over the next few weeks. It’s a remarkable building; we share it with two orchestras and there are concert halls and art galleries as well as the office space.

The picture above shows the soft seating area next to my (future) desk; I think I’ve spotted Harry Bertoia, Charles & Ray Eames, Jasper Morrison, Warren Platner and Patricia Urquiola… But I don’t recognise the high-back chair. Can anyone enlighten me?

The last two big sections of guardian.co.uk have been updated — culture and life & style went on to the new platform last night, and I’m starting to feel like a marathon runner who can see the tape after 26 miles.
It’s a strange feeling to see these new sites going up, as they’re based on design decisions we made over two years ago. But now that the end of the massive migration project is almost here, it’s finally to start thinking about making it all better, hooray!
