About The Entry

We designed a cafeteria for a company that manufactures electronic components.

The cafeteria can accommodate approximately 120 employees during lunch time. The cafeteria can be used not only as a place to eat meals, but also as a meeting room outside of lunchtime. 3 irregularly shaped tables are arranged around a main table 8m long x 6m wide that seats 23 people, with a decorative plant in the center of the table. The irregular shape of the tables has the effect of removing the eyes from each other, and the design can accommodate from one to several people.

Seating with a high counter, tables for two, and wooden lattice frames were designed to create a sense of a private room that is both visible and hidden.

The space is not just a company cafeteria to accommodate the required number of people, but can be used for a variety of purposes, and functions as a place where people can connect with each other and create new forms of communication.
