Renovation Overview
The office and showroom of YAMAGIWA Kyushu are strategically located on the first floor of an office building near Hakata Station, which underwent a significant renovation and reopened in October 2024. This transformation emphasizes efficiency in office space and expands the showroom area, allowing visitors to experience the allure of being a lighting enterprise.
The branch's design incorporates an inviting architectural approach that utilizes its location on a two-lane road. The lighting design aims to engage passersby with the comforting ambiance of light as they walk by, effectively integrating the establishment into the vibrant urban landscape.
Showroom Exterior and Interior
The exterior of the showroom showcases a soft glow that invites people to feel a sense of calm, blending harmoniously with the lively surroundings. The various light sources, utilizing different bulb colors, remain illuminated into the evening, providing a warm and relaxing light for commuters returning home after a long day.
Inside, the showroom features curtains that complement the displayed lighting fixtures, enhancing their visual impact. By employing a cohesive color lighting scheme based primarily on blue, the curtains act as a contrast to the warm orange of the lights, allowing the shapes and glow of the exhibited lighting to shine and create an elegant space.
Innovative Office Area
The office area embraces a stylish lighting design that supports usability while allowing for creative freedom. Adhering to task and ambient lighting principles, the open ceiling concept eliminates the conventional notion of overhead lighting. The use of aesthetically pleasing fixtures promotes a productive and comfortable environment where employees aspire to work.
