After three years in Bridge 8, Area-17 Shanghai moved to the back of the Tianzifang traditional area, into an early 19th century style building. The design of the new office seeks to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere, highlighted by the use of neutral colors and natural materials.

An eight-meter long bookshelf welcomes guests, displaying the most recent design publications and a selection of material samples. Open spaces, low partitions, and transparent surfaces allow the gaze to wander around, overseeing simultaneously all the phases of the creative process.
