A warm office that expresses the character of a textile manufacturer based on the concept of "At Home."
Hironen Co., Ltd is a textile company located in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, a textile producing region of Hokuriku.
Since its founding in 1930, it has been a comprehensive textile company responsible for planning, manufacturing, and selling fabrics. The company relocated its headquarters to a new building in December 2018. Based on the concept of "At Home," we created an exterior that blends into the surrounding environment, a space befitting a textile development company, and an environment where teamwork can be fully demonstrated.

User's Voice
Hironen Co., Ltd
President and Director Koichi Fujiwara
Itoki not only designed the office, but also worked closely with the design office and acted as the point of contact for various companies involved in this project, including interior design, equipment, and electrical work. When building a new headquarters, I myself gained inspiration from seeing various buildings and interiors during my business trips both domestically and internationally. Our ideas based on this were successfully incorporated into the design office and Itoki. He contributed to the office design with his flexibility and ability to make proposals.
Comment
The first request we received from the client was that they would like us to collaborate with a design office to coordinate total space. The design expresses the character of a textile manufacturer through the texture of the materials, and the entire building has an atmosphere of the "AT HOME'' concept.
In the connect spaces on each floor, employees interact and work energetically, further enhancing the "AT HOME" atmosphere.
