Relief — Kyoto: a Nordic office for welcoming clients

Relief asked MOAI for a Nordic-style, stylish office that would welcome its clients. The 54 m² office in Kyoto uses Nordic colours with graphic walls and sharp Italian furniture, so that it feels feminine without being too cute, and builds trust.
