Toshin PostPandemic
For its first created office since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the challenge Matsuo Gakuin was facing is to find a solution for protecting its office users while keeping the aesthetic values the company has always cherished. A thunder shaped table runs along the office dividing the space into staff and guest areas. Glass panels were sandwiched between the board and its duplicate hanging from the ceiling. The glass panels run alternatively through two parallel lines separated by 20cm space. This disposition forms a protective shield while allowing air and documents circulation.
Toshin PostPandemic Office by Tetsuya Matsumoto has been featured as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Toshin PostPandemic Office was awarded the Golden A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021.
