Infusing the workspace with elegance, functionality and a touch of Mumbai’s commercial interiors and creative spirit was something we had envisioned since the very beginning. For Studio KNest, this BPO facility in Kanpur is more than just a workplace—it’s a testament to the transformative power of design. With its iconic arches, rustic interiors, human-centric ethos, and technological integration, we wanted to set a new standard for corporate environments.
Editor’s Note: “The design approach of this Kanpur BPO facility showcases how creative interiors redefine commercial workspaces. Combining human-centric design, natural materials, and innovative elements such as iconic arches and artistic touches, the space offers elegance and functionality. From bold cabins to lively pantries, each space hints at an imaginative yet sensible design style.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
This Workspace In Kanpur Showcases Creative Commercial Interiors | Studio KNest
The reception area with a warm, minimalistic design using earthy tones, and lime coat to the walls for a smooth, matte finish. The lime coat finish on the wall by Flexstone adds a soft texture, enhancing the overall ambiance. The reception desk is sleek with a modern design, featuring vertical lines on the front panel. It’s predominantly white with a dark countertop, complementing the minimalist aesthetic. The seating area includes a beige fabric sofa maintaining the room’s clean and uncluttered look.
The sofa sits on a herringbone-patterned wooden floor, which adds subtle sophistication customized as per our design by cross-grain furniture. On the right wall, there’s abstract wall art from Mask Studio. The art consists of geometric shapes and patterns in neutral tones that align with the room’s overall color scheme, adding a modern and artistic element to the space. Overall, the reception area combines modern and minimalist elements with natural textures and materials, creating welcoming yet sophisticated commercial interiors.
The arched passage was designed with distinctive and cohesive design, blending traditional forms with contemporary elements. The limecoat finish, the artistic feature unit by Mask Studio, and the Claymen light fixtures was used to create a space that is both functional and visually captivating. The passageway is defined by its elegant arched shape, creating a sense of depth and continuity. The arch motif is repeated in the black-framed glass doors, which add symmetry and visual interest.
The game zone with its black and white flooring marks its territory and separates itself from the workspace. The rhythmic tones of the wooden fluted panels resonate throughout the space, creating a sense of harmony.
A Stretched ceiling with a skylight effect shines brightly making the workstations lit imbibing a feeling of working under the sky for the staff members.
The manager’s cabin vibe is calm, with understated elegance, focusing on simplicity and functionality. The oak wood furniture in the manager’s cabin, adds a warm and natural touch to the space. An abstract wall art piece by Art by Prityanshi complements the oak wood desk, chairs, and other elements. This artwork, with its flowing forms and neutral tones, perfectly balances the simplicity and elegance of the oak wood, creating a cohesive and inviting environment in the cabin. The combination of these elements enhances the room’s serene and professional atmosphere.
The design of the cabin features a bold and striking aesthetic to reflect the owner’s personality. Furthermore, the black flutes on the wall add texture and depth, creating a dramatic, bold ambiance that reflects the owner’s strong personality. Moreover, the main highlight of the room is a single-piece solid teakwood working table, which brings a natural and powerful presence to the room.
An olive green pure leather accent chair by Amber complements the table, adding a touch of color and elegance while maintaining the room’s sophisticated vibe. Furthermore, the world map display behind the desk serves as a focal point and symbolizes the global perspective and ambition the client holds. This combination of bold design elements, natural materials, and sophisticated accents creates a space that is both powerful and refined, perfectly suited to the owner’s vibe.
A vibrant oasis amidst the bustle, the pantry area beckons with its lively ambiance and hand-painted artwork adorning the walls. Also, the employees gather to recharge, unwind, and indulge in moments of camaraderie.
