Support provided: Acoustic enhancement for STATION DESK Tokyo Marunouchi

STATION DESK Tokyo Marunouchi is a 50m² co-working space featuring 16 seats, including semi-private booths and phone booths.
To help users relax and focus amid the hustle and bustle of the station, we paid close attention to the details of the spatial design—seats where you can take off your shoes and lie down to work, calming aromas, and lighting with just the right level of brightness.

I still vividly remember the impact of switching from standard BGM to the environmental music created by Chokei Design.

Standing at the edge of the space, it was as if the entire view had transformed.

The response from users has also been overwhelmingly positive.
