Teamwork in Motion – CSS Art Tribute to Office Culture

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, CSS Art: Office Culture.

Inspiration

I wanted to capture the essence of everyday office life — the little things that make a workplace feel human: hallway chats, shared mugs, sticky notes, plants, and that classic water cooler. This piece, titled “Teamwork in Motion,” is a lighthearted tribute to those simple yet meaningful moments. I was especially inspired by both real offices and the fictional ones that stick in our minds, like Dunder Mifflin.

If you’d like to host or embed it, feel free to use CodePen or GitHub Pages. The entire scene is created using only HTML and CSS — no JavaScript or external libraries involved.

Journey

This project was built entirely with semantic HTML and CSS, using only 358 lines of code to create a complete office scene. Every element — from the 18px-wide coffee mug handle to the 45px-tall characters — was crafted with box-model fundamentals:

/* Example of CSS craftsmanship */
.head {
  width: 45px;
  height: 45px;
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #ffccbc, #d7ccc8);
  border-radius: 50%;
  /* Created facial features with ::before/::after */
}
