Vol.7 Exploring the Role of Loosely Connected Spaces Through Architect-Supervised Furniture in Their Own Office
“When designing housing, layouts are generally fixed. Elements that are necessary for living, such as the kitchen, bath, toilet, and bedrooms, cannot be taken out. On the other hand, we believe there is no standard model for offices. Even within the same industry, if goals and work styles differ, having an office with the same design doesn’t seem right”, Naruse and Inokuma contemplate.
A conventional office layout may offer versatility, but it fails to inspire to push work forward or make it fun. The common furniture line was designed to support the coexistence of the conventional office and the unique nature of each company”, Inokuma says.
Employees’ spaces have mesh walls, so they will naturally hear what’s talked about at meetings. While working from home is also common these days, loose partitions allow employees to effortlessly stay on top of each other's tasks, boosting the cohesion of the team.
