Step into a realm where design becomes a symphony of purpose and aesthetics, where the confines of space are reimagined into an oasis of productivity and tranquility. Welcome to our latest work– a Japandi style inspired Commercial open lounge where gentle beige dominate the palette.
Editor’s Note: For an office design that measures the area that Soham | Zorba carries, there is a lot of serenity that resides within it. The light that filters in indeed illuminates the beige that the space embraces. The mural at the entrance is a mindful and calming addition that is self-explanatory in many ways. The fusion of Scandinavian and Japandi styles seems to shape the ideal work environment from now on, after this blissful execution. ~ Nishal Sevak
Embracing Japandi Aesthetics
Japandi, the perfect blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design, sets the tone for our working lounge. The quiet elegance and unassuming charm of both styles merge seamlessly to create an inviting atmosphere.

Where every inch thrives
Unfazed by constraints, our design amplifies the art of less. With meticulous selection, every piece is a deliberate stroke in the symphony of functionality and grace. A curve-embracing lounge, a work area furnished with versatile desks and ergonomic chairs, and a discussion space exuding conversational charm – each facet imbues purpose into the space.
Functional harmony
Despite the limited space, every functional need is addressed. The lounge is divided into zones – a work area, a discussion space, book shelfs and small pantry. Each area is equipped with flexible, multi-purpose furniture that adapts to various activities. Compact work desks, ergonomic chairs, and sleek shelving units come together seamlessly, ensuring every task has its designated space.
The multifunctional dividerA centrepiece of our design innovation is the multifunctional space divider. On one side, it serves as a whiteboard, encouraging brainstorming and idea generation. On the other side, it’s a canvas for the art piece inspired by Hakon Soreide’s Zen circles 5, a symbol of unity and continuity. This divider adds an artistic touch while maintaining a sense of privacy and separation.

Inspiring and positive vibes
Our goal was to infuse the lounge with a sense of calm and positivity. Natural light streams through large windows, illuminating the space and highlighting the exquisite details. Potted plants, bring a touch of nature indoors, further promoting a soothing ambiance. The arrangement of furniture encourages effortless flow and movement, enhancing the overall experience.
Reflections of zen
The lounge’s design takes cues from Zen philosophy – simplicity, mindfulness, and harmony. Each detail is thoughtfully curated to align with these principles. From the seamless transitions between spaces to the intentional absence of excess, everything speaks to the tranquillity that is essential for focused work and deep contemplation.
Discovering balance
In our Japandi-inspired Commercial Open Working Lounge, we’ve artfully brought together the essence of japandi and Scandinavian to create a space that’s much more than a workplace. It’s a haven of creativity, a sanctuary of productivity, and a canvas for personal growth.
Monotony as a design element
Embracing monotony isn’t about uniformity; it’s about creating a cohesive whole. We’ve carefully balanced the monochromatic colour palette from the softness of fabric to the grain of wood. The result is a space that’s visually engaging yet calming. The repetition of forms and colours imbues the lounge with a sense of unity and coherence.
