About Combine Kontorindretning

Combine er en åben kontorindretning færdiggjort i Shanghai i 2019. Designet følger et gråt farveskema og en rolig, nutidig karakter. Et langt bord, der er belyst nedefra, løber gennem rummet og minder om et biblioteksmiljø. To gennemgående buede døråbninger og en murstensvæg tilføjer rytme og dybde. Der er brugt tæppe på gulvet for akustisk komfort, mens brandsikre plader definerer de funktionelle zoner og rummer opbevaring. Glaspartier lader dagslys strømme ind i mødelokalerne. Energibesparende LED-armaturer belyser interiøret.

Unique Properties
As this project was imbued with serene ambiance with grey color scheme and avantgarde look and feel, the design of an office reflects the working patterns of the working inhabitants who spend more time in this office than at their own homes, therefore, the office design is the design for living and social spaces. The design was of open plan to afford the sense of freedom as well as independent working space, while allowing staffs to switch seats freely.
Dimensions & Packaging
While deploying two continuous arc-shaped arch doors in the space which has given a strong sense of rhythm and layers, while breaking down the pedantic linework of conventional office space, a long table complemented by bottom-up lighting traversing through the interior space much like a library scene.

Production Technology
In limited space, the design team attempted to mix and match different materials so as to cater for consistency and visual comfort among contrast and balance. As carpet was used on the floor for acoustic considerations, complemented by the grey wall, the overall space adopted fire-proof board to demarcate functions and consolidate storage. With ample natural lighting, interior lighting fixtures have also brought out spatial layers to manifest different spatial expressions.
Design Challenge
As the designer has a pre-conceived idea regarding the positioning of the design industry on the market, i.e. design is a business model utilizing aesthetics and techniques to solve problems while every commissioned project is bestowed with values through design. With limited space, this project was able to consolidate its consistency and visual comfort with different materials so that volumes of weight may be proportionally laid out in suitable function areas to complement reasonable circulation.
Research
The layout allocated the supervisor office, meeting room and conference room in zones that need sunlight, as their glass partitions allow the sunlight to inundate the interior. Around the perimeter of the interior, grey arch door, brick wall, steel-plate desks, and storage volumes were placed so as to allow staffs to hold discussion freely in such open office setting, as well as to find a working alcove to focus on work at hand.
Inspiration
As the client is an interior and branding designer, during the design project was carried out, the brief was to create an office space allowing free-roaming open space, reminiscing of discussions held at restaurants regarding design experiences.
Project Duration
The project was completed in April 2019 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow
With the withering marks on the brick wall, the arches intersect with one another, as the overall brick wall volume articulates a pulsating movement of rhythm, while the center of the space and its surrounding conference rooms allows the optimal spatial freedom of the open space. As the staffs sit across from one another as if they are sitting in restaurant facing each other, complemented by energy-saving LED lighting fixtures, in creating a serene environment.
