About Xinxiuli Headquarters Office
Xinxiuli Headquarters is an office interior design covering 3000 square meters in Ningbo. The reception area main wall uses flowing curves inspired by the brand logo and by the Yongjiang River. Floor and ceiling combine light and dark tones, with a circular carpet pattern and white stone surfaces. The layout includes a management office, an open employee area, collaborative spaces and meeting rooms. Intelligent lighting, electronic atomized glass, adjustable desks and a conference room reservation system support flexible work. The project attained LEED Gold certification.
The Xinxiuli Headquarters Office by Ray Yang represents a distinguished achievement in contemporary workplace design, demonstrating how thoughtful spatial orchestration and material selection can transform functional office environments into inspiring settings for collaboration and creative exchange. This interior appears to engage with current discourse surrounding activity-based working, wherein varied spatial typologies accommodate different modes of professional engagement throughout the workday. The designer seems to have drawn upon Scandinavian modernist traditions in the selection of warm wood tones and organically shaped furniture, while the bold geometric floor pattern evokes mid-century explorations of optical dynamism and contemporary expressions of branded environmental graphics. The chromatic strategy proves particularly noteworthy, establishing a sophisticated dialogue between energizing warm accents, specifically the vibrant orange alcove that functions as a visual anchor, and the measured restraint of gray millwork and white surfaces that prevent sensory overwhelm. Technical accomplishment manifests in the seamless integration of multiple lighting systems, from linear tracks to circular pendants to recessed fixtures, each contributing to a layered luminous environment that adapts to varying activities and times of day. The incorporation of framed artwork along the back wall introduces cultural refinement and personal scale within the larger commercial context, while potted plants on illuminated shelving suggest attention to biophilic principles increasingly valued in workplace wellness research. This space invites consideration of how physical environments communicate organizational values and support human flourishing, perhaps prompting viewers to reflect upon the relationship between spatial quality and professional satisfaction in their own experiences.

- The material selection was essential to the design process, the floor and ceiling reflect themes of deep and light, cleverly matched. The carpet's circular pattern is like a sparkling sea surface, dancing with blue light; while darker deep shades contrast with white stones, like a winding coastline stretching into the distance, side-by-side. This echoes the mutual development of Ningbo and the Samsonite Group.

The overall spatial aesthetics cleverly integrate a combination of furniture, materials, colors, and lighting while carefully balancing the scale of proportion to present an efficient, natural, and harmonious working atmosphere.
- Inspiration
