If you step into this space for the first time, you might feel a bit unsure—Is it a restaurant? An office? Or a showroom?
The answer is—it’s all of them!
This is the world’s largest Hunan cuisine R&D center, created by the century-old soy sauce brand Longpai. It serves multiple functions as a showroom, brand promotion hub, and reception space. Lamex has contributed its highly creative office furniture solutions to seamlessly blend dining culture with office spaces, unlocking a new workspace full of ambiance and creativity.
A beautiful space isn’t just about stunning rendering — it must be both visually appealing and highly functional in real use.
Lamex goes beyond simply providing products——we collaborate with clients and designers to think, refine, and implement ideas. Every design serves the space’s needs, bringing groundbreaking and imaginative creations to life.
Lighting × Space—Mastering the Perfect Ambiance
First glance through the door—100% jaw-dropping!
The new office space for Longpai Hunan Cuisine was personally designed by Chen Lin, the renowned pioneer of fine dining restaurant design, bringing the aesthetics of high-end restaurants directly into the workplace.
From spatial layout and lighting to furniture selection, the design completely breaks away from traditional office conventions.
The designer aimed to create a space that not only meets functional office needs but also evokes the ambiance of a restaurant, allowing work to unfold naturally in a comfortable and inviting environment.
The perfect match with Longhouse in the office!
The designer specifically chose Lamex’s Longhouse series, inspired by the traditional longhouses of Indigenous communities in China and Southeast Asia. Its dynamic, multi-level design emphasizes openness and interaction, creating a shared space that allows for both focused work and seamless communication.
With the integration of Longhouse and the designer’s meticulous adjustments to lighting — balancing both office functionality and a restaurant-like ambiance — this space is more than just a workplace. It feels like an “Inspiration Canteen”, where creativity and brainstorming can spark at any moment.
Desks? Instantly Transform into Display Areas!
Are you sure this isn’t a high-end restaurant?
The office space of Longpai Hunan Cuisine breaks away from the dullness of traditional offices, adopting an open and fluid layout that allows for natural spatial flow.
Desks are no longer conventional workstations—employees can freely choose their seats and gather with colleagues, breaking down departmental barriers and fostering teamwork, communication, and collaboration.
The designer selected Lamex’s Born series bench, perfectly aligning with the design concept.
With its natural wood aesthetic and minimalist design, Born series brings warmth and a sense of livability to the workspace.
Featuring wood-grain surfaces, dynamic legs, and refined edging, these desks not only visually echo the ambiance of a high-end restaurant but also add depth and character to the entire space.
No dull glass partitions, no cookie-cutter workstations—thanks to Lamex, this space feels more like a thoughtfully designed social hub, bringing warmth and a true sense of belonging to the workplace.
Partitions with Dimension—Because Flat is Boring!
Sorry, “ordinary” doesn’t exist here!
Think desk partitions are just plain, uninspiring panels? Then you’ve underestimated Lamex’s creativity!
Ditching rigid divider screens, Lamex introduces geometric storage partitions with a futuristic edge—adding both functionality and depth to the workspace.
It is not a simple board, but a stereoscopic layered structure
Breaking Free from Straight Lines—Collaboration with No Limits!
By moving away from the straight, rigid lines of traditional office furniture, this space fosters seamless idea-sharing. Sitting across from a colleague, inspiration flows freely in all directions—360 degrees of creativity at work!
With partitions that double as design elements, who would ever want to go back to a traditional cubicle?
The Meeting Room—A Feast for Ideas!
Meetings should feel just as refined as the rest of this high-end restaurant-inspired office.
For the meeting area, Longpai selected Lamex’s The ONE conference table—instantly elevating the space into an elegant yet modern “inspiration lounge.”
With its minimalist design and premium materials, The ONE stands out among ordinary conference tables. The specially curved edges add a touch of sophistication, transforming each meeting into a private dining experience—a perfect balance between professionalism and comfort.
In this space, productivity isn’t just doubled—it’s refined to a whole new level!
Work ≠ Tasks Only
Work = Enjoyment!
The Longpai Hunan Cuisine office isn’t just a workspace upgrade—it’s a cultural revolution.
Here, work isn’t just about completing tasks; it’s about an engaging, enjoyable experience.
