HQ Function

Served as the pioneering co-working space, an administrative hub for early operations, and a key center for community events and brand development.

Notable Features:

Iconic pastel-hued, feminist-inspired interior design by a female-led team, custom furniture, art exclusively by female artists, a library stocked with books by female authors, beauty rooms, lactation facilities, and on-site cafes.

Work Culture:

The intended work culture at The Wing's locations (including its central operations) focused on female empowerment, community building, and providing a supportive, aesthetically pleasing environment. However, the company also faced internal and external criticism regarding its management practices and the lived experiences of some employees.

HQ Significance:

The original headquarters and subsequent locations were significant for being among the first large-scale, venture-backed co-working spaces designed specifically for women, aiming to provide a 'room of one's own' on a grand scale and fostering a distinct community.

Values Reflected in HQ: The physical spaces aimed to reflect values of community, female empowerment, aesthetic beauty, inclusivity (though this was debated), and professional support for women.

Location:

Prior to the cessation of its physical operations in August 2022, The Wing had established a notable global presence. It operated numerous co-working spaces in major cities across the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and Washington D.C. The company also expanded internationally with locations in London, UK, and Toronto, Canada. These spaces globally supported its core mission of providing work environments and community platforms primarily for women.
