Theres a chain of shop in Tokyo that specializes in plush life-size cushions. Spend a half hour in one of these stores and youll see why theres a non-stop 24/7 flow of customers going in and out of the shop. The cushions are gy-normous and are bright eclectic chaotic colors. Bright pinks and reds and psychedelic globs and turquoise sunsets, and zebra stripped and covered in orange spots. But its not really about the color. Its about the sheer and absolute fantasy comfort. Heres what youre supposed to do, but not everybody gets this first time round. You need to stand with your back to the cushion and just let yourself go, and then youll fall into a cushion of softness that squiggles under you and moulds into your body shape. People have no shame. Theyll stop by on their way home from work just to steal a moment of pure relaxation. And the employees embrace this concept of comfort. They are as comfortable with the whole process.
They just smile and say, Welcome back.
More and more companies are trying to duplicate some of the same in their office spaces. Its no longer good enough to have a professional-looking communal space, where your staff can meet with clients. Its not behind the glass walls that business knows no boundaries. Its in the spaces where boundaries are broken, and design is paramount.
If you are looking to create a state-of-the-art office environment, you need to think out of the book. Take a look at what your clients are doing. Does it work for you? Take note of the times you leave somebodys office, well over your scheduled appointment timeslot. Thats a sure sign that you felt you were in the right environment to do business. Take note of the times that you were in and out of somebodys office under the time allotted for your meeting. Thatd count as an office decor red alert. People do business with people they like, in settings they like. Youre unlikely to do business with someone that you take an instant dislike to. The same standard applies if youre supposed to sign a contract on a table that has a stack of business cards stuck under one of the legs.
