AUOTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT | Michael Setter

Automotive Equipment and Automobiles are the official importers of the SUZUKI brand in Israel. Their logistics center and offices are located in Meuyan Sorek in Rishon LeZion and spread over 10,000 sqm.

The office building includes two large showrooms, two office floors, a large dining room and training center.

The Design drew inspiration from the automotive world as well as Japanese motifs, such as natural and simple materials and colors with harmonious round shapes.

At the entrance to the ground floor, there is a Japanese stone garden with a fish pond surrounding a large and impressive staircase, which connects the two showrooms.
A large custom-made light fixture, reminiscent of Koi fish, is suspended from the high ceiling of the upper floor. Behind the staircase is a three-dimensional delicate art piece that spreads over the height of the two showroom floors with images and depictions of animals from Japanese mythology. All of these elements gather and strengthen the center of the space and provide a special experience for the company's guests and brand customers.

The design of the sales desks, built from a combination of metal and wood, simulates the wheels of a moving car. The furniture next to them combines wood and straw nets, a design element common in the Far East. Acoustic elements in the form of flying birds accompany the floors and enhance the sense of height and spaciousness.

The two office floors are decorated with minimalistic colors, bright walls, and exposed white ceilings, along with wall coverings and oak carpentry that give a warm feeling.

The open space is distinguished by separately defined spaces, based on different departments. Lighting fixtures made of straw, inspired by lanterns from the Far East, are scattered in the public areas and floor cafeterias.

When moving to the entrance of the executive floor, a Japanese Zen Garden welcomes you, providing a wide and open view out to the west. The executive area itself is also designed with floating wooden ceilings and Japanese-inspired bamboo decor.
