Gather freely, work openly. Creating an office that connects naturally.

In 2024, Olympus consolidated various functions at its Hachioji location to establish its Global Headquarters, driving transformation in both workstyles and workspaces. To meet the needs of increasingly diverse ways of working in an era of hybrid work, Olympus adopted the concept of “Open!” with the policy of “shifting from ownership to sharing.” This has led to the creation of an office environment free from departmental barriers, enabling greater freedom and flexibility.
In response, KOKUYO proposed open, inviting spaces under the theme of “gathering.” The result is a highly flexible environment where layouts and functions can be rearranged to suit specific goals and workstyles.
This approach has encouraged the widespread adoption of activity-based working (ABW) with no assigned seating, making it common for employees from different departments or with few prior connections to share the same space.
These spontaneous encounters foster a culture of natural connection. As physical spaces change, psychological distance between people also decreases. Relationships become more open and more equal.
This shift in how people work is gently reconnecting individuals and teams while strengthening the foundation of organizational capability.

Sparking a circle of co-creation, starting with Any way.

One of the most symbolic spaces within Olympus Global Headquarters is the Teaming Studio. It is a place where face-to-face communication sparks new ideas, designed primarily for creative, team-based activities.
The central area features numerous elements from the Any way series, including chairs and tables. Their lightweight design and wide range of color options stimulate the senses, fostering an atmosphere that encourages creative thinking and individuality.
In addition, the Any Wall partitions overturn the traditional notion that meetings must take place in fully enclosed rooms. By allowing spaces to be reconfigured based on purpose, they support a more flexible way of working. Employees are empowered to choose their own settings and design how they work, leading to serendipitous conversations and cross-departmental collaboration, giving people a tangible sense of the value of coming to the office. Today, the Teaming Studio remains at a high occupancy rate.
