The article introduces the design of the new Tokyo office by the renowned Japanese interior design firm DRAFT. As a Japanese interior design company, DRAFT set two goals for the design project. The first goal was to address a major problem in many companies today: a lack of communication among employees. This was achieved by creating a dynamic and engaging office furniture layout, using a diverse work environment to change employees' work habits, and subconsciously making them feel that focusing on individual work and participating in teamwork are equally important.
Another goal is to design stylish and cutting-edge office environments. With the rapid development of the internet, people can easily gather vast amounts of information and see diverse design styles such as modern, minimalist, and industrial through websites like DRAFT's official website. Faced with so many design clients, many feel overwhelmed and lost. As a professional design company, DRAFT is trying to find design styles suitable for the new era.
Adding movable desks to the office area and implementing a desk-rotating system promotes communication and interaction among colleagues. A uniquely designed coffee shop, along with a fully equipped kitchen with everyday appliances and a coffee machine, is another way to foster collaboration. The five-meter-long bar counter with its elegant upholstered finish and detailed decorations makes employees feel like they are working in a comfortable café.
The semi-open workstations, constructed with sound-absorbing materials, provide an excellent working environment for employees who need to think. Upholstered chairs placed along the windows can be used for small meetings that can be initiated at any time.
The design adopts a neutral, reconfigurable concept as its new design style. One reason is DRAFT's long-held belief in maintaining a neutral attitude towards design. Another reason stems from the fact that in an age of information overload, people don't need more choices, but rather a recombination of numerous styles.
