PANDA Design designed a open office space where the protagonist is an S-shaped table that runs through the entire workspace. The rest of the office spaces are hidden (from the toilets, closets, to the meeting areas...), by a layer of white and oak panels.
PANDA Design proposes for the office of CUN PANDA, a space without barriers, fluid and open where those who work do not feel trapped by minimal cubicles and can talk and exchange ideas with the rest of their colleagues.
 

Project description by PANDA Design

The space plane is L-shaped. Lin hides all the space-needed irregular functional areas such as bathroom and water bar, leaving office with the biggest stage.

At the same time, the application with two lines of S-shaped curves can divide the work area into different dimensions, breaking the rigid pattern of the space.

The interesting office tables are made of ultrathin steel plate and supported by semi-circular pier, naturally forms a small area of different working attributes, and each connecting area is the stage for thinking collision.

The S-shaped chandelier made with 108 LED lights, which is following the path of the office tables, has divided the space again and made the low floor height to different visual perception.

Massive reading in the traditional cubicle always makes the designers fell the space is narrow and depressive, and they are in badly need of emotional release.

Because the large area of curved tables does not block the distance between partners, everyone gets timely attention and feedback. There is no more extra space in this endless white space except the working area. Lin emphasizes the mobility of space with constructivism and focuses on his creation, hoping to give extremely play to his flow of energy efficiency.

In the creation of new experience space, the function of storage can be hidden in the white cabinet in order to implement the most effective classification and collection. The cabinet door, which has not only connected the attribute of administrative space of top and bottom, but also formed the elaborately sense of layer in the space with warm color oak wallboard, is the white blackboard paint lacquer face that is full of gradually dot.

Lin considers that the relationship in the design team today is a cooperative partnership. They spent more time to work together every day than be with their families. In order to produce soothing designs together, Lin thinks that the design team also need the cohesion of each person like a family.
