Autor: Bean Buro

‘Bean’ stands for Between Exchanges of Architectural Narratives.

The studio is an emerging architecture and interiors practice from London and Paris, led by Lorène Faure and Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, with a team of international designers to provide architecture, interior, installation, furniture and product design services. The Hong Kong studio was opened in 2013.

The diversity of the practice with its collaborators reinforces a core vision for the practice: to respond to the exchanges of global cultural narratives, incorporating overlapping design disciplines specialising in the social, economical and political production of urban spaces.

We believe architecture is an emotional, spatial experience produced by both the user and the author. Our design methodologies stem from the observation, speculation and analysis of contextual narratives. These narratives, or ‘stories’, generate dynamic exchanges of historical, environmental, cultural and social factors, resulting in highly inventive interventions while preserving plenty of intellectual wit.

COLLABean, as an integrated part of Bean Buro, is a trans-disciplinary platform for collaborations between practice, research and academia. COLLABean can provide design research services for business organisations, and wherever appropriate, to involve specialists’ input from a network of highly reputable designers, academicians and researchers in the design field.

The practice has since produced a string of successful interior architecture projects for luxury residential clients as well as reputable companies such as Cheil, Leo Burnett, Warner Music, and has been awarded Silver Winner in the Asia Pacific Interior Design Award 2015,  Gold, Silver & Bronze Winner in the A’ Design Awards, and Finalist Winner of the 13th Modern Decoration International Media Award. The studio has a rigorous methodology of exploring spatial narratives through conceptual drawings and models that explore the humanistic aspects of design.

Oficinas de Uber, en Hong Kong

El diseño de Bean Buro para las nuevas oficinas de Uber se inspira en los escritos de Gottfried Semper sobre barcos, donde algunos fragmentos describen la noción de forma y función que actúa como un todo estructurado, con partes individuales que cumplen su propia función, a la vez que cooperan con otros para lograr un efecto general.
