Founded in 1887, R&M (Reinhold & Mahla) Group has spent nearly 140 years defining the global standards for maritime interior excellence. In December 2025, the group’s new Shanghai office was officially inaugurated, marking a fresh chapter for the brand.
The new office is designed as a sophisticated "urban harbor." It seamlessly integrates R&M’s maritime heritage with modern, high-performance workplace solutions, creating an environment that balances exceptional efficiency with a deeply human-centric focus.
Warm Welcome
The R&M reception area features a bright, light-wood palette that conveys an immediate sense of warmth and professional
transparency. Adjacent to the entrance, wood-themed partitions and greenery form a natural acoustic buffer. The soft
textures of the Layer seating provide a comfortable setting for focused dialogue.
Productive Core
The core workspace is designed to balance high productivity with physical well-being. The combination of MP
height-adjustable desks and MK ergonomic chairs creates a comfortable, healthy, and focused environment. RAK serves as a
lightweight collaboration hub for spontaneous standing discussions, making it effortless for team members from nearby
workstations to gather at any time and transform individual inspiration into collective intelligence. The Pit Stop is
strategically placed just a few steps away, allowing employees to transition seamlessly from teamwork to deep focus,
providing an instant sanctuary for private calls.
Active Relaxation
In one corner, a ping-pong table injects a burst of energy into the professional environment, providing instant stress
relief through active movement. Nearby, the combination of Layer and Candy furniture offers a quiet retreat, creating a
perfect balance between dynamic activity and calm relaxation.
Composed Leadership
The executive office is designed as a quiet sanctuary for strategic decision-making. The combination of the VAS desk and
COSY chair ensures managers remain physically relaxed and mentally sharp, allowing for a composed and focused approach
to complex tasks. Complementing this, the AGE sofa provides soft, supportive seating for both informal meetings and
high-level negotiations.
Multifaceted Meetings
The meeting spaces are calibrated for three distinct levels of interaction. In the primary decision center, the VAS
conference table features a unique curved design that optimizes sightlines to keep participants focused on strategic
agendas. For high-level dialogues, the EVEN sofa establishes a sense of gravitas with its robust, enveloping form.
Meanwhile, in smaller meeting rooms, the combination of the Torii table and MK chairs maintains a sense of airiness,
fostering a high-concentration environment for efficient problem-solving.
Agile Connection
The Torii bar tables serve as lightweight anchors for interaction. The standing-height design aligns with the modern
trend for spontaneous collaboration, making brief brainstorming sessions more efficient and dynamic. The informal
micro-settings transform transit areas into vibrant hubs of connectivity.
The new workspace significantly enhances employee well-being and operational efficiency, empowering the team to navigate
complex challenges with confidence.This space sets a strong foundation for the group’s continued growth, steering R&M
toward a future of limitless possibilities.
