agnès b. Japan relocation project

A new office with company’s “foundation” in the center,
bringing and practicing eco-consciousness.

<Summary>

Last year, agnes b Japan, a Japanese headquarter of one of the best-known fashion brands from France, decided to move to a  new office.
‘’Creating a place that commits transmitting the DNA of agnes b’’ was a goal for this project, and based on this, we aimed to design a new office where all the people, including visitors and its employees at the Tokyo office, are able to feel the DNA from France and experience its culture. 

<Highlights of their new office> 

Below are some highlights from what TRAIL HEADS realized in the new office for agnes b to fulfill a balance between new workstyle and well-being of its employees, while successfully representing their culture. 
●Placing a central “atelier”, a starting point of their brand, storytelling and creation, to realize this project goal and represent its culture in the office. 
●Variety of areas that surround the atelier, such as open-space, cafe space, gallery and individual working desks, help to accelerate flexible and creative communications between its employees.
●Using natural materials such as tiles and lumber as possible, 100% renewable energy, adopting plastic free ideas, and making-over furniture from their precious office such as shelves, an atelier stand, to practice environmental conscious philosophy of agnes b. 
●Using art and interiors that match the culture of agnes b in detail to represent the DNA.
