A "Seamless" office that removes various barriers in the work environment
The mission of this project was to foster communication with other departments and customers by consolidating the bases in Tennoz and Nihonbashi, and to improve the company's appeal as a base for global companies by enhancing the showroom. Based on the concept of "Seamless," the walls within the office were removed, and a space with easy movement and space was created, aiming to create a new central office and development base that can connect teams, departments, the entire company, and customers on an equal footing. The interior features a Japanese design using warm wood, and a variety of work areas that satisfy the comfort of each individual. In addition, used office furniture that was still usable due to the relocation was donated overseas, contributing to the SDGs.
This case study page provides more detailed information along with photos.

What is ITOKI WORK-Style Design?
This is a design gallery site that opened in December 2023 and explains cutting-edge examples of spatial design created by our company from a designer's perspective. As human capital management that increases corporate value is attracting attention, reviewing the working environment is being cited as one of the effective measures to improve employee productivity and engagement. With the theme of "Realize," this site offers a variety of hints for those considering office renewal to create an "office that embodies our management philosophy" or "an office you'll want to visit." Prepare content. The case studies are scheduled to be updated from time to time, and in addition to abundant visuals of the latest offices, the designers in charge explain the customer's thoughts and interiors that are incorporated into the design concept, and introduce our unique designers.
