This office was designed for Wantedly Inc., who runs
social recruiting and networking platform based in
Tokyo, Japan. The concept was “Connecting the Space:
On and off”. To represent the company philosophy “To
increase people who truly enjoy their jobs”, the design
was aimed at smoothly connecting the working area with
informal space so that employees can feel relaxing and
fun atmosphere just like working at their living room.
Also, since the client often holds huge in-house events
and career support seminars, it was necessary to
establish large open space that can hold many attendees
and promotes effective communication between workers
and visitors. The challenge was to design the space
where fosters collaboration and communication between
everyone who visits the office while providing sense of
privacy in the working area. The goal was to go beyond
the office design clichés to revitalize workplace
collaboration rather than simply decorating.
