Apparel-web — Nihonbashi: an office for a company that works from anywhere

Apparel-web works remotely by default, which made the question sharper when it opened a new Tokyo office in December 2021: what is worth coming in for? The answer was a floor of choices — ordinary desks, a salon you can put music on in, private rooms for concentrating — plus a coffee bar and a studio the company rents out.

Concept

Somewhere to choose, not somewhere to sit

Because most of the company works remotely, the office was planned as a set of options rather than a seating chart: the conventional work area for ordinary desk work, a salon where you can put your own music on, and private rooms for the days that need silence.

The salon is run like a co-working floor, with a bar at one end serving proper coffee. It takes the company’s own events, and is lent to client brands for exhibitions and shoots.

Desks, for the work that wants a desk

The desk area is deliberately ordinary — the part of the floor that behaves like an office.

Music, coffee and a long table

The salon is the room the company describes first: somewhere between a co-working space and a living room.

For a day that needs silence

Small rooms take the work that cannot be done in company.

Shoots, and webinars

The studio handles video and stills and is set up for webinars; the company rents it, and its equipment, to others.
