GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 14th edition
Discipline : Interior Design
Categories : Office / Office ≤ 5,400 sq.ft. (≤ 500 sq. m.) : Silver Certification
As Rakuten's head office is in Japan, our team had to integrate Japanese inspirations in the interior design. As a result, several elements and materials refer to the origin of the company.
The choice of ceramic wall tiles in the kitchen is reminiscent of sushi counters, while the carpet has a texture resembling tatami mats. Touches of red are reminiscent of the color of the Japanese flag, but also of Rakuten’s brand image.
In collaboration with the artist MC Grou, our team imagined two murals on adhesive vinyl. One is in the kitchen and the other is unfolded on four sides in the "playroom". The room is completed by a black ceiling and sliding glass doors which open into a large common room serving as a cafeteria and auditorium.
Above the kitchen, our team designed a hanging of rhythmic wooden planks to visually delimit the area and improve the acoustics of the space. We also chose different types of lighting to make the work areas both comfortable and adaptable. The choice of furniture, with straight lines and neutral colors, perfectly complements the interior concept.
In the end, the bold and refined details stand out for their originality in this atmosphere that is both zen and airy. The natural stone slab countertop and the murals are unique elements to this office project.
