Dabo

Dabo Corporation, headquartered in South Korea, combining their specialisation in semiconductor trading with a cutting-edge office design that reflects their ethos of innovation and agility. Founded in 1997, Dabo has established a robust foothold in the electronics and automotive sectors by partnering with leading manufacturers like Infineon and Power Integrations. With their commitment to quality and comprehensive R&D services across various industries—including automotive electronics, power electronics, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Dabo Corporation’s office space stands out with a design that embodies vibrancy and openness. Moving away from traditional compartmentalised layouts, the design features fluid, open-concept spaces that facilitate movement and interaction, creating an atmosphere that fuels creativity. Bright, bold orange accents and generous natural lighting infuse energy into the design, making Dabo’s office not just a workplace, but a hub of innovation and collaboration.

In our design concept, the objective was clear: create an open office space that promotes transparency and teamwork. However, understanding the specific managerial needs within the semiconductor industry, we recognized that some level of privacy was essential. Therefore, we introduced semi-private cubicles that provide necessary seclusion without obstructing the benefits of natural lighting. This unique solution balances the need for privacy with the overarching themes of openness and brightness, ensuring that all employees feel empowered to engage with one another.

One of the most striking features of Dabo Corporation’s workspace is the intentional incorporation of bold orange accents throughout the environment. Not only does this colour serve to energise the space and stimulate creativity, it also ties back to Dabo’s corporate identity. Orange represents warmth and positivity—qualities that are essential in fostering a collaborative culture. By seamlessly integrating this colour into the workspace, we create a cohesive visual narrative that mirrors the company’s culture, making employees feel welcomed yet motivated.

At the heart of Dabo Corporation’s office design is a central bar island that acts as a functional gathering point and a collaborative hub. This design choice transcends traditional barriers between workstations, inviting employees to engage in informal discussions, impromptu meetings, or even casual brainstorming sessions. The bar island not only enhances fluid movement throughout the office but also emphasises the importance of shared experiences in the workplace.

The spacious layout encourages natural communication and interaction between teams while cultivating a sense of community. This central point serves as a reminder that collective problem-solving and idea-sharing are vital components of Dabo’s innovative approach.
