As the world emerges from the shadow of COVID, companies are at a crossroads: should they stick with remote work or bring their teams back together? Which approach truly boosts productivity in this new era?

Enter Kokuyo, the renowned Japanese giant in office furniture and stationery. Known for its innovative and high-quality designs, Kokuyo's mission is to create functional and beautiful office spaces. Their Bangkok head office faced a pivotal moment: relocating to a new downtown office building just as workplaces everywhere were being reimagined post-COVID.

We believe in the power of unity. Despite the remote work revolution, there's a strong need to foster a sense of togetherness among staff. Our solution? A grand, roof-like frame spanning the floor, embodying the theme "A Playground Under One Roof." This design invites staff back to a dynamic, inspiring workspace where collaboration thrives.

This space isn't just an office—it's also Kokuyo's showroom. "Every square inch is a showroom. Every square inch is a workspace." A long table stretches across the floor, seamlessly blending different models of desks and chairs at the front with Kokuyo’s actual workspaces at the back. Customers witness products in action, while staff can easily extend their work into the showcase area if needed.

On either side of this central table, you'll find enclosed meeting rooms and display zones featuring armchairs, conference furniture, phone booths, and pods. These areas are designed for real-life use, allowing staff to work in various settings that highlight Kokuyo’s product versatility.

In essence, Kokuyo's new Bangkok office is a flexible workspace and showroom in one. It's a celebration of returning to a joyful, unified work life, all under one innovative roof.
