Elite Impact, a French fashion company, established its buyer office in Kowloon Bay’s new commercial district in 2009. The 3,000 sq ft. office was completed within 2.5 months, serving as both a working office and a showroom to connect with factories and suppliers in Mainland China.
The design emphasized an artful, French-inspired aesthetic, aligning with the company’s creative DNA. Contemporary furnishings, bold accent colors, and modern lighting fixtures created a vibrant yet professional setting. Artworks—including abstract oil paintings and French café-inspired graphics—were deliberately displayed throughout the office, reinforcing the company’s cultural identity.
Spatially, the office balanced functionality with creativity. Glass partitions maximized natural daylight while maintaining transparency and connectivity. The seaview backdrop offered an inspiring environment, complementing meeting zones, display areas, and breakout corners. A dedicated showroom showcased garments and fashion accessories, strengthening the space’s role as a buyer hub.
Ultimately, the project reflected Elite Impact’s philosophy of merging business with artistry, ensuring their workplace not only functioned efficiently but also projected an intense cultural atmosphere.
프랑스 패션 기업인 Elite Impact는 2009년 홍콩 구룡만 신흥 상업 지구에 바이어 오피스를 설립하였습니다. 총 3,000평방피트 규모의 공간은 약 2.5개월 만에 완공되었으며, 중국 본토의 공장 및 공급업체와의 연결을 위한 업무 공간이자 쇼룸의 기능을 동시에 수행하였습니다.
디자인은 회사의 창의적 정체성과 맞닿은 프랑스 감성의 예술적 미학을 강조했습니다. 현대적인 가구, 대담한 포인트 색상, 세련된 조명 장치가 조화를 이루어 활기차면서도 전문적인 분위기를 연출했습니 다. 추상 회화와 프랑스 카페 감성을 담은 그래픽 작품들이 사무 공간 곳곳에 전시되어 기업의 문화적 아이덴티티를 더욱 강화했습니다.
공간 구성은 기능성과 창의성의 균형을 중시했습니다. 유리 파티션은 자연광을 최대한 활용하면서도 개방성과 연결감을 유지하였고, 바다 전망은 회의 공간, 전시 공간, 휴게 공간에 영감을 주는 배경이 되었습니다. 전용 쇼룸은 의류와 패션 액세서리를 전시하여, 바이어 오피스로서의 역할을 한층 강화했습니다.
결과적으로 이 프로젝트는 비즈니스와 예술을 융합한다는 Elite Impact의 철학을 반영하였으며, 효율적인 업무 수행을 지원하는 동시에 강렬한 문화적 분위기를 전달하는 공간을 구현했습니다.
