The Design

About Fujifilm Clay Studio2 Office

Clay Studio 2 is an office interior designed for product and visual design work in Tokyo. The space of 300 square metres is planned as a calm setting for concentration, in contrast to offices that focus mainly on communication. Concrete, paint and wood cement board are left unprocessed, so the room appears to be made only of beams and pillars. Garden landscaping and natural scenery form the background and bring seasonal change into the space. Desks face outward, and a seven metre table allows short meetings while keeping distance between people.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: It goes against the "dynamic" offices that exist today, where communication is the main focus. However, on the contrary, a place where people can gather and immerse themselves in friendly competition is the antithesis of the current office. Natural scenery used as the background for the landscaping of a garden adds seasonal changes to the space and enriches the experience of working while immersed.
Dimensions & Packaging: The space is made of only unprocessed materials and has the appearance of being made up of only beams and pillars. While creating an environment where everyone can face outward to design, the ability to turn around and have a quick meeting at a big table adds flexibility and adaptability to the "immersion. This layout is not face-to-face, and also allows for social distance, so even without acrylic panels, droplet infection can be controlled.

Production Technology: concrete, painting, wood cement board
Design Challenge: It was difficult to unite concentration and communication.
It was planned with the hope that people would immerse themselves in the designs they create. This is contrary to the many "dynamic" offices that exist today. This is contrary to the many "dynamic" offices that exist today, where the main focus is on communication. On the contrary, however, believe that it is the antithesis of the current office, where people can gather together and immerse themselves in friendly competition.
Research: This is the office for Fujifilm's product and visual design. As a place to practice design management, have created a new base, "Clay Studio 2" in addition to the current office. If the current office is a "dynamic" space, the new office is planned with immersion as a "static" space in mind.
Leased area: 300㎡, use: office, building location: Tokyo, Move-in department: Fujifilm Design Center, Number of residents: 26
Inspiration: The office was designed with the hope that people would work while cultivating the sensitivity to see the fragility and preciousness of the natural world as beautiful and to immerse themselves in the designs they create. The office was designed with this in mind. Space itself is used as a "guide" for immersion.
Used the original landscape of the building to promote immersion in a calm state of mind, as if visiting a temple or shrine.
Project Duration: Start of design in November 2020, completion in April 2021
Nishi-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo　
Operation Flow: While creating an environment where employees can look outward to design, the ability to turn around and have a quick meeting at a BIG table adds flexibility and adaptability to the "immersion. This layout is not face-to-face, and also allows for social distance, so even without the acrylic panels, droplet infection can be controlled.
