Joint-Harvest, a technical company that integrates sales, R&D and supply chain services, commissioned Area-17 Architecture & Interiors to design its Shanghai HQ. The workspace was meant to foster social interactions among the large company staff.

A sincere mood of enjoying life in all its aspects is reinforced by a palette of bright, warm colors.

The graphic’s design plays a major role in clearly defining the space usage, as in the case of the mail area.
