TORAFU ARCHITECTS

Located on the basement level of the Farglory Group headquarters in Taiwan, BEONE is a public space reimagined under the theme of “circulation and regeneration.” Once a spa facility, the site has been transformed in line with the group’s vision for the “NEX Community,” a concept centered on symbiosis between people, environment, and creativity within the city. The lobby area is envisioned as a “playground of the future,” inviting visitors to spend time freely—enjoying, relaxing, and reflecting. Through the use of recycled materials, TORAFU proposed a flexible and interactive environment shaped by furniture and spatial elements.

The MOKOMOKO SOFA, formed by bundling offcuts of polyethylene foam, features light colors and a resilient yet soft texture, offering comfort even during extended stays. Reused AA STOOLs are stacked into a tree-like formation, accompanied by animal kits from Ishinomaki Laboratory and a bear mascot representing Farglory, adding layers of play and narrative to the space.

Additionally, marble previously used as a finishing material has been reinterpreted—its patterns and cross-sections combined with translucent resin to create tabletops for new low tables, bringing out a renewed expression in the material.
This space, inheriting the memory of its materials, aims to inspire new perspectives on the potential of public spaces in the future.
