Spicebox Office is a minimalist interior positioned in Tokyo, Japan, made by Nendo. The office space design for spicebox, a complete digital agency that works across strategic organizing, interactive promotion and creative digital marketing, and is component of the Hakuhodo stable. The firm’s name symbolises the capacity to deliver surprises and delight, like a range of stimuli that come tumbling out of a box, so they placed 6 box-shaped meeting rooms of differing sizes and finishes around the workplace, all of which are entered by a wall that has been ‘flipping open’.
Every single box is ‘opened’ in a slightly different way, subtly connecting interior and exterior and shaping sightlines to develop a spatial expertise in which each and every box reveals itself as you walk about the room. The flipped-open entrances turn the area around each box into a semi-open communication corner, and functional components that do not need to have to be on display like the photocopier, waste bins and refrigerator can be hidden behind the boxes. Their thought was to make not only the boxes’ interior but also the location about them into an active office atmosphere where men and women can easily operate and interact.
