AI Showroom
HASTINGS
Agency: HASTINGS Architecture
Client: AI Corporate Interiors
Visitors are welcomed by a cozy; compressed entry clad in warm wood tones that prepares one for the reveal of a luminous double-height space beyond. Here, curved walls and arching elements lend softness and grace to the industrial bones of the building. Workstations and meeting spaces flow organically throughout the large, open floorplan, demonstrating AI’s products while supporting the employees in their work. Glass partitions and demountable displays invite exploration of innovative furniture solutions. Various intimate seating areas provide respite, allowing one to linger amidst AI’s curated collections. Four private offices, each with their own character and aesthetic, provide glimpses into different approaches to interior design. The details have been considered with care, from the warm wood tones that envelop to the sculptural cafe serving as the social heart. More than a showroom, the space is a destination for inspiration, bringing together different disciplines of design through its museum-like presentation of all that AI offers. It achieves the goal of both functionality and beauty, reflecting the company’s mission to make design matter through quality of experience. The AI Showroom invites clients and visitors to immerse themselves in the art of furniture, architecture, and hospitality.
