Silver A' Design Award Winner 2023
Seasun Interior Design by HEY Corp. emerges from contemporary commercial interior practice where spatial programming must simultaneously address functional requirements and experiential aspirations, creating environments that balance professional utility with sensory delight. The work demonstrates particular accomplishment in its orchestration of the ceiling plane as primary architectural gesture, employing the rhythmic repetition of linear elements to establish visual tempo while managing acoustic properties and concealing mechanical systems within an aesthetically integrated solution. The chromatic strategy reveals sophisticated understanding of color psychology in commercial contexts, deploying a predominantly neutral palette of charcoal, concrete gray, and black that projects professionalism while introducing precisely calibrated moments of chromatic intensity through vermillion seating elements, amber illumination, and golden textile accents that prevent sterility and invite lingering engagement. The selection of the distinctive lip-shaped rockers suggests a design philosophy that values playfulness and conversation-starting elements within otherwise refined environments, perhaps referencing the legacy of Pop Art's embrace of everyday objects transformed through scale and context. The translucent orange partition functions as both spatial divider and chromatic event, filtering views to the adjacent zone while contributing to the warm-cool dialogue that animates the space. Through the expansive glazing, the relationship between interior refuge and exterior prospect achieves the biophilic connection increasingly valued in contemporary workplace and hospitality design, offering occupants visual access to natural phenomena while maintaining environmental comfort. One might consider how this interior negotiates the tension between the desire for visual distinctiveness in competitive commercial contexts and the creation of genuinely comfortable spaces that support human wellbeing and social interaction.
This project is an office design for Seasun Games, a leading video game publisher in China. The designers use elements of anime, vibrant colors and diverse ways of interaction to highlight the role of Seasun as a game developer and its corporate culture and spirit while creating an efficient, comfortable and healthy working environment for its employees.
