Bringing nature to the office

Tokyo, Japan

At work

A man works on a laptop at a blue Picniktable in a plant-filled office nook, partly screened by curved black vertical rods, with mirrors and large leafy plants around him.

Going above and beyond to make the office an inviting, natural and exciting place to be in? That’s exactly what our apostles in Japan do.

Tistou's office space is packed with greenery, fun elements, different spots to sit, and textured materials; this way, the place becomes much more than a lifeless office, but also a co-working area, showroom, and indoor garden.

People work and relax in a bright biophilic office with indoor trees, bench seating, a long shared table, hanging lights and large windows.

Biophilic office

Bringing nature inside

Tistou follows the principles of biophilic design to provide a connection with nature. Because of this connection, employees experience a higher level of productivity, feel more creative, healthy and content.

Two coworkers sit with laptops at a long communal desk beside large windows, surrounded by potted plants in a calm, sunlit office.

We spend a lot of time in the office, so we'd better make it worth the while!
