The use of natural materials bring warmth and comfort to working spaces, we selected Douglas fir panels as main material for floor and walls. Looking for simplicity and functionality, we designed a modular cabinet covering the different walls of the office, the use of wood extends to the table design and details such as fireplace top and shelving.
We embrace the Japanese notion of wabi-sabi, which celebrates imperfection and transience. "Wabi" came to connote rustic simplicity, freshness or quietness, while "Sabi" refers to the beauty or serenity. We translated this Japanese philosophy to the interior design of the space by using natural wooden materials and through delicate greenery that helps to improve productivity and creates positive atmospheres.
Our ‘Equilibrium Lamp’ is a chandelier lamp to create more homey feeling offices. In our search to provide excellent working atmospheres and pleasant environments, we designed the art-deco inspired ‘Equilibrium Lamp’, a lightening solution for office spaces.
“A home in an office, an art deco studio in the heart of Shanghai. ”
