What are the three words that describe your work philosophy?
SIMPLE I HAPPY I LIVELY
Browsing your page, J Design Decorative House Co., Ltd., what caught our eyes is the message ‘A good office can be anything,’ what is the backstory behind that sentence?
“A good office can be anything’ is our design principle. We believe that if you create a workspace for peo-ple to just work in, work is all you get. But if you create a workspace for people to live a part of their life, what you get is a lively work environment. Without liveliness, people can’t be creative. Without creativity, all the good things cannot prosper, and prosperity is the beginning of growth. For many people, work is an integral part of life, so we want to design an office space that doesn’t force people to lose other parts of who they are and the life they live. A good office has to be spacious enough because life is eternal with unending abundance, so a good office has to be pretty much…anything.
What is the project you’re the most proud of?

Last but not least, please use this space to introduce yourself to the people who want to know more about you.
We are a small group of people who come together with the goal to try to achieve something, because we want to see a society where people can make work an enjoyable, integral part of life. We know there are several factors involved in order for our goals and dreams to come true, not just through office design, but with our own knowledge, skills and expertise, experiences and understanding of what we have done. We want to be a small part of a beautiful change.
