Ericsson — Tokyo: free address in every work area, for a business that moves fast

Concept

An open office for a fast business

In telecoms, customer needs change quickly. Ericsson wanted an office where a growing staff could work efficiently and form teams flexibly as needed, so every work area is free address.

At the centre is the area the company calls the open office, surrounded by settings matched to the task.

01 · Hot desks

Sit where the work is

Hot desks and shared tables let teams come together and break up again as projects demand.

02 · Quiet rooms & phone booths

Somewhere to close the door

Quiet rooms and phone booths give people a place for calls and concentration away from the open office.

03 · Meeting & café

Red chairs and green stools

Round meeting rooms and a café with bright stools carry the same bold colours through the floor.
