The Design

About Unbounded Office

Unbounded is an executive office interior designed for a corporate chairman. The space combines office work, reception, meetings, tea drinking, collection display, resting and fish keeping within one multifunctional setting. Fixed partitions are replaced by ceiling materials and functional bars that define areas while keeping the plan open. Mirrors and stainless steel are used for durability and for their reflective quality, which visually extends the space. The design moves away from enclosed traditional offices and supports easy movement between activities.

Inspiration
Concept: Unbounded

Aiming to break away from the dullness of traditional enclosed offices, this project seeks to create an open, multifunctional, integrated new office space.
Utilizing modern materials such as mirrors and stainless steel to expand and infinitely extend the space, it maintains the maximum blending and continuity of the space, creating a free, "Unbounded" environment.
Functional bars define the movement flow within the space.
Project Duration
The project was designed in Shanghai, China, in July 2023 and completed in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, in January 2024.
Operation Flow
Imagine working in an environment without fixed walls, open and free. The space, crafted from mirrors and stainless steel, is not only bright and modern but also fosters creativity and communication.

Activity areas blend seamlessly, facilitating smooth transitions from work to meetings to relaxation.

In this open and flexible setting, free movement and interaction spark innovation.
