ZNINI is a cross-border company specializing in the trade, maintenance, and appraisal of international designer toys and collectible figures. The design of its headquarters reflects the company’s futuristic vision and niche cultural identity, blending futurism with mecha aesthetics through a striking juxtaposition of sleek metals and rugged stone textures.

The space is intelligently divided into five functional zones: business area, office zone, showroom, maintenance center, and appraisal & auction section—seamlessly supporting ZNINI’s multifaceted operations.

The business area serves as the primary client interaction and auction venue. A mirror-polished curved metal reception desk greets visitors at the entrance, evoking the cold sheen of a mech warrior’s armor. Behind it, a volcanic rock feature wall adds dramatic tension, contrasting with the metallic surfaces to create an atmosphere of high-tech grandeur. The meeting room features custom-designed furniture with mech-inspired contours, leather-wrapped chairs with metallic armrests, and a matte glass table supported by steel frames. Overhead, a chandelier shaped like an energy core emits a soft, ambient glow—setting the stage for high-stakes negotiations and private auctions.

The showroom is the spatial centerpiece, inspired by multiverse and quantum entanglement theory. A circular flow guides visitors through immersive display zones, with projected lighting creating thematic atmospheres. Spherical glass installations symbolize “quantum universes,” each containing miniature dioramas of mech-themed scenes—from interstellar battles to futuristic cities where humans and machines coexist. These spheres respond to motion with dynamic lighting effects, simulating “quantum dialogue” across universes.

The maintenance zone focuses on functionality, equipped with wear-resistant metal workbenches, wall-mounted stone panels for tool storage, and an independent ventilation system to ensure air quality during repairs.

By combining futuristic narratives with tactile contrast—smooth metal vs. raw stone—ZNINI’s workspace transcends conventional office design. It becomes a cultural embodiment of innovation, storytelling, and collectible artistry, delivering an unforgettable experience for both staff and visitors alike.
