In coordination with the overall office design, the built-in furniture—from the entrance to the workspace—was conceived as an integrated system. Rather than treating each piece as an individual object, the furniture is understood as a structure that extends across the entire space, forming a unified environment through the continuity of its elements.
The entrance shelving is composed of simple components: columns, H-shaped connectors, flat panels, and buffers against the wall. By aligning the projections of each element based on the column, a minimal unit of 25 mm is repeated, emerging as a consistent grain that permeates the space. Within this uniform composition, subtle variations of shadow and depth are produced, introducing a delicate intensity to the otherwise minimal environment.
This same logic is extended into the workspace, where the relationships between components are continuously articulated, generating a coherent rhythm throughout the office. The furniture not only fulfills functional requirements but also operates as an element that defines the space through the repetition of dimensions and structure.
