about

For this exceptional project, we had the privilege of designing the interior for a prestigious New York law firm, crafting a space that harmoniously merges the energy of New York with the cultural elegance of Asia. The brief was to encapsulate the firm's brand identity through a design that radiates sophistication, functionality, and global character. Central to the design was the incorporation of the firm’s signature blue, a color that threads through the space, creating a cohesive and vibrant environment.

The challenge was multifaceted: to create a workspace that is professional yet inviting, contemporary yet timeless, and reflective of the firm's global outlook. Every design element, from the curated artwork to bespoke furnishings, was selected to tell a cross-cultural story, blending modern Western influences with subtle Asian touches. The result is a narrative-rich space that speaks to the law firm's unique identity.

A Standout Pantry Transformed into an In-House Café
One of the project’s standout features was the design of the pantry. Moving away from the conventional pantry model, we conceptualized and implemented an elegant in-house café. This area offers employees and clients a welcoming space to unwind, fostering collaboration and relaxation in a refined atmosphere. With carefully chosen finishes, such as warm wood tones, sophisticated lighting, and comfortable seating, the café exudes a relaxed yet upscale vibe.

Concealed Luxury: The Exclusive VIP Area
Adding an unexpected touch of luxury, a concealed door leads to a private VIP area. This exclusive space provides privacy and discretion, catering to high-profile clients or confidential meetings. Every detail, from the plush seating to the ambient lighting, was designed to ensure comfort and exclusivity, making it a key highlight of the office.

Vibrancy Meets Functionality
The office layout prioritizes efficiency and functionality without compromising on style. Open workspaces are paired with private offices, meeting rooms, and breakout areas, all designed to foster productivity while maintaining a sense of elegance. The integration of the firm’s signature blue into feature walls, textiles, and accents reinforces the brand identity while adding a dynamic energy to the space.

Art and Culture as Design Anchors
Throughout the office, art pieces with a duality of Western and Asian influences were thoughtfully chosen to enhance the cultural narrative. These artworks, combined with custom furnishings and modern finishes, imbue the space with a sense of authenticity and sophistication.

This project exemplifies our ability to blend tradition with innovation, delivering a workspace that is not only a hub of productivity but also a reflection of the client’s global perspective and brand ethos. The result is a law firm interior that transcends conventional office design, offering a visually captivating and highly functional environment.
