Visiting the Shanghai headquarters of L'Occitane Group in China: How office environment design interprets brand DNA
In 2023, after being awarded the B Corp certification by the L'Occitane Group, we visited the L'Occitane Group's headquarters in Shanghai, China. During this romantic visit, we gained a deep understanding of how this cosmetics giant integrates office environment design, sustainable development concepts, and multiculturalism into daily life, creating a unique brand building space.
Office Environment Design: Integration of Provence Style and Green Ecology
Stepping into the office space on the 21st floor of L'Occitane Group's headquarters in China, it feels like instantly traveling to Provence in southern France. The classic arch design, the use of clay bricks, and the presentation of brick and wood structures all exude a strong Southern French atmosphere. The vibrant plants that can be seen everywhere in the space perfectly blend this romance with nature.
Olive trees, lemon trees, and other plants from Provence are embellished in the office area. Every night, fill lights simulate sunlight to meet the needs of plants, giving the entire space a natural, green, and relaxing immersive experience. The selection of these plants is not only for decoration, but also stems from the group's mission to focus on biodiversity, extending the concept of sustainable development from products to office environments.
The choice of office furniture also reflects the adherence to environmentally friendly materials. From partitions to carpets, from tables and chairs to decorations, all soft furnishing cooperative brands are "zero carbon" enterprises, and the selected carpets, yarns, etc. are all made of recycled sustainable materials. This attention to detail makes the entire office space a vivid display of the brand's philosophy.
Sustainable Development: From Office Space to Global Strategy Practice
Jovi from the SDMM department of L'Occitane Group shared that this renovation space adheres to the group's mission of "reducing resource waste" and adheres to two principles in designing and selecting materials: zero carbon emissions and sustainable development. Not only do we choose environmentally friendly raw materials, but the overall design also considers future reuse. Whether the group expands or relocates, many materials can be reused, truly achieving resource conservation throughout the entire lifecycle.
