Project Description
- Office in Resonance with the Mysterious Beauty and Energy of Diamonds -
We performed the design for the office of a diamond product dealer.
We were asked to create a space inhabited by the beauty of the diamonds created with a high level of polishing technology and the nature of Bisei, Okayama Prefecture, where the processing plant is located.
For the entrance hall, we took inspiration from the miraculous process by which diamonds are formed beneath the Earth’s crust, and created a space that fuses the rough flow of the strata with the shining form of diamonds born within.
A gradation of colors representing the blue sky and greenery of the town of Bisei unfolds in the central seminar room while vibrant waves of colors drift through the space, softly enveloping people in it.
The brown palette of the private area represents the depths of Earth from which diamonds are born and creates a calm atmosphere by echoing the layered colors of the strata.
By paying homage to the origins of diamond formation, we sought to create a space resonating with this process born from the power of the Earth and the mysterious energy of nature permeating it.
