LIVING MOTIF WORK+ | id inc.

Design collaboration with Axis Inc. The interior design of the showroom was based on the theme of
an office where creativity is born. Now that the way of working is changing drastically, the spread of
remote work is re-questioning its value as a place to gather. It has become more important than
ever to have a space with a clearer intention and to be able to respond flexibly to the situation.

LIVING MOTIF WORK + is a showroom operated by LIVING MOTIF, an interior shop.
LIVING MOTIF WORK + proposes the creation of a space with a work unit that combines
office furniture, taking advantage of the strength of handling multiple brands. In order to convey
the charm of the space created by the work unit, the showroom itself has a minimalist structure
with only floors and walls. The work unit is designed to fit any interior. Therefore, as a showroom,
we try not to bias the image depending on the material. And we thought that it was necessary to
devise something that would make it easier to recall the office space.

Therefore, we tried to give an expression to the "lines" created by the joints and characterize them
by placing the beige joint bars in the matte dark gray surface material. This gives the impression of
tiles and herringbone flooring. One large space is gently segmented by graphical lines. The "lines"
on the floor and walls also act like a ruler. Therefore, it is easy to grasp the scale when
the office furniture is actually installed. We aimed to transform practical confirmation work in
the showroom into fun communication.

LIVING MOTIF WORK + is a showroom that proposes a new office style. Since it is a space that
envisions the office of the future, we aimed to make the line drawing three-dimensional.
Currently, there are plans to use it not only as a showroom but also as a space for meetings and
catalog photography. The showroom, which proposes an office where creativity is born, creates
creativity in the space itself.
