An elevator isn’t the first place one thinks of for a chance to have some interesting interaction. Most of the time, the ride up and down is an exercise in people gazing forward quietly, or sneaking peeks at their phones.

Conran Design Group, part of Havas in London, is seeking to break the monotony and give something people to talk about by redesigning the interiors of their elevators at Havas HKX Village in the company’s Kings Cross headquarters.

Six of the building’s lifts have been transformed to anything from a disco (probably from the 80s as evidenced by the boombox on the floor) to a living room, complete with a comfortable couch as the centerpiece.
