Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This case is a brand new space design for Suzhou headquarters of Rigol, a top brand in the testing and measurement industry. The design team integrates art with space, and introduces the art concept of "what you see is what you get" of Frank Stella, a representative of minimalist painting, into the thoughts of artistic creation. For construction of a space, it uses structure images to make the space itself a part of the spatial structure, so that everyone can have an intuitive feeling and independent understanding of art.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by Frank Stella, the construction of space through structural images, where the space itself becomes part of the structure of the space, is the interpretation of the Rigol brand's color philosophy, showing the infinite possibilities.
- Challenge
- The challenge for this project was to bring the interior design back to the Rigol product itself, bringing the most intuitive sensory experience to the people. Throughout the process, G-you design team practiced the integration of art and space, using clean and refreshing colors, incorporating Stella's "what you see is what you get" philosophy into their creative thinking, and giving the right of interpretation back to the employees to bring an immersive office experience to Rigol.
- Realization and Technology
- The corporate color of Rigol flows in space, looking relaxed and active, bringing an immersive office experience for its employees. With the white and wood colors as the main tones, it realizes the harmony in space colors, delivering a natural and fresh sensory enjoyment. Paint, hand-painted silk wallpaper, classical brass metal hardware, colored curved wood veneers, and natural marble were used for this project.
- Operation and Interaction
- The logo background wall in the Rigol hall abandons the traditional decorative practice. Inspired by the public artistic thinking and humanism, the designer team displays the proud products of Rigol in all periods through the hollowed-out brand logo wall. By blending its corporate culture in products, it achieves the transition from interior design to the R&D of product itself, interpreting the infinite possibility of Rigol.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in October 2019 in Suzhou and finished in January 2020 in Suzhou.
- Specifications
- The area is 4869 sqm.
