The layout is open and linear. The visitors enter the lounge area which has access to the meeting room and the pantry.
A corridor with an interactive exhibit wall connects the lounge to the washrooms and the display area, which leads to a photo studio.
A custom lighting installation in the lounge and a beaten granite wall cladding reflect the meeting of craft and technology.
The meeting room wall is adorned with Indian wood carving, featuring geometric motifs and shibori fabric lamps that hang on top of a marble tabletop.
Along one wall, DesignCo's thirty-year legacy is translated into an exhibit: wall graphics, audio-visual devices, and sample displays trace the journey of craft from the Maker to the Market.
The peripheral display systems are made of fins clad in terrazzo laminate with slotted channels to enable modular shelving. The polycarbonate sheet reflects the lighting and provides a soft, glowing background to the products
A hand-painted lighting installation adorns the otherwise monolithic washroom.
