linkties — Tokyo: the Forbes JAPAN office with a lounge counter

Concept

A collaborative office

linkties wanted an office that encourages teamwork and creativity.

An open lounge beside the workspace became the answer, to bring employees together.

01 · Events

Retractable doors

The company often holds seminars and social events, so retractable sliding doors divide the workspace from the lounge when needed.

02 · Counter

A beam turned into a symbol

Beams that could not be removed in the middle of the floor were used for a counter in the lounge, which also became a symbol of the office. Windows on both sides bring in natural light.
