How it happened

The three anySCALE partners, Karin, Tom and Andreas, have known and worked with each other for over a decade in Beijing, first coming together as coworkers in their previous company. It didn’t take long for them to discover that they shared similar views and standards when it came to areas of design, business, and life in general. Raising young families and with their children attending the same school, they in particular share an affinity for certain life values such as leading a healthy lifestyle and designing considerately for the next generation. In 2011 the three friends decided to embark on their own adventure by founding SCALE in Hong Kong, the mother company of anySCALE. One year later anySCALE was founded in Beijing. Most recently the company is proud to announce it’s latest addition of anySCALE Shanghai in 2016.

任督设计(anySCALE)的三位合伙人,即Karin、Tom与Andreas,自第一次作为同事为先前的公司效力开始,他们已在北京相互认识和工作长达十多年。共事之后没过多久,他们就发现他们在设计、业务、日常生活等方面有着相似的观点和标准。同是有孩子且孩子在同一所学校上学的家庭,尤其在某些人生价值观方面,例如,引领健康的生活方式和为下一代进行体贴入微的规划等,他们总是感到非常亲切。2011年,这三个朋友决定开启他们的冒险之旅——在香港成立了SCALE公司,也就是anySCALE任督设计的母公司。一年后,任督设计在北京成立。最近,公司很自豪地宣布其最新子公司任督设计上海分公司也已成立。
