Happy Socks, a Swedish fashion company founded in 2008, has exploded in popularity thanks to its bright and colorful clothing designs. Looking to expand into the Chinese market, the company entrusted anySCALE with designing their headquarters in Shenzen. Color and creativity being the center of the Happy Socks brand, anySCALE sought to create a dynamic office space that reflected their vivid style and provided a rich work environment for employees.
Far from the uniform rows of cubicles found in the conventional offices, anySCALE’s human-centric approach for the Happy Socks headquarters offers a sense of openness and freedom, allowing for easy communication and collective visibility. Curved ceiling to floor windows encircles the oval-shaped headquarters, offering an abundance of natural light and stunning panoramic views. The unobstructed work areas of the main office floor feature wide desks and round chairs, with the spaces being organized by color. Bright blue, red, and yellow panels overhead are mirrored by color accents in the flooring,  furniture and walls, creating columns of color that occasionally overlap.
Surrounding the main office floor are the executive offices, lounge, multifunction meeting room, and the HR office, which is separated by a blue-tinted glass. The rounded meeting room packs the most potent punch of color, featuring a yellow recessed circular ceiling with hanging globes, shape-mirroring multicolor rug, and an x-brick furniture system that can be easily rearranged as needed. Adding to the playful color scheme, a variety of popular cartoon sculptures from the client’s private collection are seen throughout the public spaces.
anySCALE was able to meet the challenge of incorporating these vibrant colors into a wide range of different materials and surfaces to produce a joyful visual effect. The youthful energy of the color scheme is complemented by the use of rounded edges throughout the design, creating a rich work environment where employees are happy and engaged. Happy Sock’s goal is to spread cheer and color to every corner of the world; a vision that anySCALE helped to deliver for their new Shenzen headquarters.

瑞典品牌HAPPY SOCKS成立于2008年,提供全世界顶尖品质,充满快乐的袜子和内衣等产品,这是一个非常注重色彩和创意的公司,色彩的世界,幸福无处不在!我们也希望在最新的中国总部办公室中,将这种快乐的情绪,用彩色的方式传递出来。功能上是贴近人性的设施配套;效果上是直击人心的视觉冲击。
我们尝试营造一种自由状态的办公环境,希望所有人的工作状态都处于集体的可视范围之内, 每个工作区都为开放式,所有行为规范及秩序都在同事间的自我约束中产生,从而构成积极性的工作环境。色彩的分布并没有完全按照不同的职能部门来划分,而是相互交错的,这比较符合不同职能部门之间随时扩张和相互渗透的灵活需求。
整体采取了“多余化”的视觉感受设计手法,除了色彩,我们还用了宽松的办公桌、舒服的椅子、好看的装饰物等,都是能让员工"眷恋”办公室的因素,这些可以直接影响到员工的办公状态。同时也是企业对于员工最真诚的关怀。从而使员工为公司创造出更多的价值。
空间中看到的很多的卡通玩偶是甲方的私人收藏,这是个惊喜,因为这些极具艺术感和收藏价值的玩偶,恰恰能给空间里面的人们带来愉悦的情绪,这种表达方式直接又有品质,于是我们在空间设计中预留了足够多的展示位置,让这些愉快的精灵们充分渗透到办公室的每一个必经的角落。
彩色的项目看似好做,但其实品质感是最难把握的,同一个色彩的区域会用到不同材质,材质之间同色系色彩因为是成型产品的原因会产生一定的偏差,加上严格的造价控制,直接导致材料和工艺的选择变得非常有限!过程历经千辛万苦,最终找到一个比较好的平衡状态。
“年轻”自不必说,这本来就是属于年轻人的未来空间。“圆润”则来源于对快乐情绪的一种造型上的寄托,让一切都舒展顺滑自如圆满……
