The Design

About LH Shanghai Kontorinnredning

LH Shanghai er et kontorinteriør skapt for et nyetablert investeringsselskap. Kontoret dekker 328 kvadratmeter. Designet kombinerer et hjems karakter med et galleris. En sentral korridor forbinder rommene på begge sider, og resepsjonsområdet ligger midt i planløsningen. Fem fotografier fra eierens samling er utstilt i lokalet. Enkle lamper, nøkterne møbler og vevde tepper i kirsebærblomstfarger fullender interiøret. Målet er en rolig, vennlig og avslappet arbeidsplass fremfor en formell en.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: This is a newly established investment company with a small office scale. The designers hope to design an artistic, elegant and relaxed office environment for clients, breaking the stereotype of investment companies - which typically appear to be too serious - and to design a company that is not like an investment company, one that is friendly, casual and comfortable impression.
Dimensions & Packaging: The area of the office is 328 square meters and is rather limited. The designers have placed the air-conditioning pipelines above the corridor to fully ensure the sufficient floor height in rooms. Part of the walls uses glass to allow the interior of the room to open up. The corridor uses a hidden light strip in the ceiling, that runs the entire length of the corridor, making it clean, bright, and strongly oriented.
Tags: Simple, Friendly, Relaxed, Comfortable, Home, Art, Office
Production Technology: The space displays five photographs from the owner's collection, created by Yicheng Feng - an A'Design Award-winning photographer. The concise and modern photographs matches the temperament of this space; the pure and simplistic lamps are made by the Flos; the furnitures are made HAY - comfortable, simple, and homely; the PVC woven carpets are from BOLON - easy to clean and maintain. Since the company's main clients are Japanese, the carpets are specially selected with cherry blossom colors.
Design Challenge: Before the design, the client consulted a Feng Shui master, and the sectioning of spaces was already determined. The space was designed under such constraints in such a small area, and must meet the requirements of Feng Shui and the complex functional needs of the client. This was a challenge for the designers, but they were able to meet the requirements through consideration for every centimeter of the space, and used a lightweight design style to cleverly resolve the clutter in the space.
Research: The lease term for the office is only 5 years, and the lease term is relatively short. The client hopes to build this office with less investment. Therefore, the designer uses easy-to-construct materials, and furnitures from inexpensive furniture brands.
Inspiration: Based on the fact that the chairman of the company a lady with character - friendly, low-key, simple, tasteful, and an art collector - the designers aimed to create an office space that meets the chairman's temperament, by giving the space the superposition of "a home" and "a gallery". She has also been friends with the designers for over a decade.
Project Duration: The project is located in Shanghai. Design started in July 2019 and completed in January 2020.
Operation Flow: The layout of the space is long and narrow, hence the designers decided to use the central corridor as a chain that connects the left and right sections of the office, as if each room is a key to solve a problem. People that work together more frequently have offices that are closer. The reception area is located in the center of the chain, where one can easily reach any room. An open staff lounge area provides a space for staff to relax, cleverly set up at a fire exit area.
