THE STORY
Hirose Electric Americas is a subsidiary of a renowned global leader in the electric and electronic connectors industry. Established in 1937, Hirose has continuously developed and launched countless innovative connectors for various applications. With a commitment to meeting connector demand worldwide and driving advancements in connector technology, Hirose has earned its place as one of the top 10 connector companies globally.
Office Revolution was chosen to handle the furniture for this project due to our strong connection with Ware Malcomb, an esteemed architecture and design firm. Leveraging unparalleled expertise, we meticulously selected furnishings that perfectly complemented the architectural vision of Ware Malcomb. Our attention to detail ensured a seamless alignment between the workspace and its furnishings.
As you enter the brightly illuminated and spacious office, you are greeted by a tranquil atmosphere created through the skillful blend of navy blues, grays and neutrals. In the welcome area, you’ll find Hightower Prism double benches that are designed for versatility and can be easily reconfigured to suit any purpose.
In the open office, Teknion District workstations were selected, and private offices were furnished with Teknion Expansion, providing height-adjustable tables and casegoods. The design incorporates overlapping planes and under-surface storage, maximizing both vertical and horizontal space utilization.
The work café is a multifunctional area constructed with National Lochlyn, a metal storage and space division solution. It offers a variety of spaces tailored for different needs, including cozy and welcoming corners as well as efficient and productive workspaces. Enwork Landing Tables, paired with OFS Oryn stools, establish an ideal center for collaborative work, while the inclusion of comfortable seating options like Stylex Dau Chairs and Kimball Whittaker™ modular lounge sofas are ideal for breakout spaces and bring the familiar comforts of home into the office environment.
Teknion Tek Vue Architectural Interiors establish secluded areas for client meetings and minimize noise transmission between meeting rooms. With full glass-front offices, an ample amount of natural light permeates the space, imbuing it with an open ambiance while preserving privacy. These glass walls, crafted to adapt to the ever-changing realm of interior architecture, boast sleek lines that seamlessly blend with building interiors for a cohesive integration.
Thanks to our successful collaboration with Ware Malcomb, we were able to create a newly furnished space that is perfectly tailored to meet the needs and enhance the comfort of the client’s employees and visitors. Our primary focus was on ensuring the highest quality and flexibility of the space. As a result, we were able to transform their office into a diverse range of modern and dynamic working environments, promoting productivity and innovation.
