translate its O2O (Online-to-Offline) business model into a tangible, immersive experience that employees and visitors could feel.
The Challenge
When LINE MAN Wongnai (LMWN) set out to create its first-ever workplace in Bangkok, the goal was far greater than setting up a functional workplace. The ambition was to set a new benchmark—one that would embody the company’s mission to help Thai people live better and translate its O2O (Online-to-Offline) business model into a tangible, immersive experience that employees and visitors could feel.

Just as threads come together to form a unified textile, every element of the workplace was interlaced to create a seamless experience that balances innovation, culture, and purpose.
The Solution
To answer this challenge, we turned to a powerful cultural metaphor—Thailand’s traditional loom. From this inspiration, the concept of the Digital Loom was born. This became the central design narrative, weaving together the digital, physical, and human aspects of the company’s DNA. Just as threads come together to form a unified textile, every element of the workplace was interlaced to create a seamless experience that balances innovation, culture, and purpose. The office was imagined not as a static space but as a living, breathing weave—constantly evolving with the company. Each thread represented a function, a moment, or a movement, tying brand values to user experience in a highly intentional way.
The layout itself embodied this metaphor. Instead of traditional departments, the workspace was planned as self-sustaining “villages”—agile, flexible neighborhoods that supported both deep focus and spontaneous collaboration. These interconnected zones echoed the natural rhythm of digital and human interactions, making the transition from solo work to team discussions effortless. Modular layouts and open plans allowed for real-time adaptability, ensuring the office could flex with changing business needs. Defined circulation paths provided intuitive navigation, enhancing the overall flow and user journey.
Materiality played a key role in reinforcing the Digital Loom story. Innovative finishes like digital mesh ceilings, fluted glass panels, and woven acoustic textures blended modern technology with artisanal Thai references. These design elements weren’t just functional—they were narrative devices that brought the brand’s voice into the spatial language. The use of earthy tones, natural light, and biophilic elements rooted the experience in wellness, creating an environment where people don’t just work—they thrive.Equally important was the way the space unfolded as a choreographed journey. From a warm, welcoming reception that made an immediate brand statement to vibrant collaboration hubs and quiet corners for focused work, every transition felt deliberate and intuitive. The spatial narrative invited employees and visitors alike to discover the brand story as they moved through the office, turning a simple workplace into a deeply immersive brand experience.
