Case Study: Living Systems 

CMS office

Bucharest, Romania

CMS, a renowned international law firm with a vast global presence, sought to create a workspace that seamlessly merged nature-inspired aesthetics, functional zoning, and environmental responsibility. By partnering with the Design Studio AMA and selecting the Living Systems collection, CMS successfully transformed their office environment into a haven of comfort, style, and sustainability.

 

The Design Studio AMA drew inspiration from nature to create an office space that would foster employee comfort and satisfaction. By bringing the outdoors in, they aimed to establish a connection between employees and the natural world, creating a serene and calming atmosphere. The Shaw Contract Living Systems collection perfectly aligned with this vision, offering organic and textural aesthetics that mirrored the beauty of nature. The carpet tiles brought a sense of tranquillity and warmth, enhancing the overall ambiance of the workspace.

 

Functional Zoning and Navigation: The Design Studio AMA skilfully combined four different styles within the Living Systems collection to create distinct zones and enhance directional flow throughout the CMS offices. By incorporating the Transform style in colour Calm, the Respond style in colours Optimistic and Mountain, as well as the Observe style in colours Untamed and Optimistic, and the Endless style in colour Optimistic and Springs, they effectively delineated specific areas while maintaining a cohesive design language. These carefully chosen combinations of patterns, textures, and colours played a pivotal role in creating functional zones that guided employees through the workspace with ease and clarity.

Environmental Responsibility: Carbon Neutrality and EcoSolution Q100®:

A noteworthy aspect of the Living Systems collection is its commitment to environmental responsibility. As a carbon-neutral collection manufactured in the UK, it aligns perfectly with CMS's values. This collection is optimised for low embodied; it utilises EcoSolution Q100®, a 100% recycled yarn and the backing includes 75% recycled content.

By opting for Living Systems, CMS not only achieved their design goals but also made a significant contribution to sustainability and reduced their carbon footprint. The incorporation of eco-friendly materials further solidified CMS's commitment to creating an environmentally conscious workspace.
