JamesPlumb | 伦敦PSLab照明总部-设计风向

PSLab的总部位于伦敦南部Bermondsey街区一条安静的小街上，坐落在维多利亚时代的皮革厂中。这个最初在贝鲁特成立的照明品牌委托JamesPlumb将这座历史建筑改造成一系列“既定又交织”的工作区域，使员工可以轻松地进行互动和协作。

Tucked down a quiet side street in south London’s Bermondsey neighbourhood, PSLab’s HQ occupies a Victorian-era tannery – a place where animal hides are processed to produce leather.The lighting brand, which originally launched in Beirut, tasked JamesPlumb with transforming the historic building into a sequence of “defined yet intertwined” work areas where its staff could easily interact and collaborate.

该工作室完全剥离了建筑，以暴露其工业外壳，只留下裸露的砖墙、钢柱和一些凹坑，这些凹坑原本是用来给兽皮染色的。

The studio completely stripped back the building to expose its industrial shell, only leaving behind its bare-brick walls, steel columns and a number of sunken pits that would have once been used to dye animal hides.

这些坑被混凝土填满，形成了一系列不同高度的基座，它们块状的形状微妙地参考了罗素和普拉姆在法国哲学家保罗·维里奥(Paul Virilio)的《地下碉堡考古学》(Bunker)一书中遇到的整体结构。

These pits have been filled with concrete to create a series of different-height plinths, their blocky shape a subtle reference to monolithic structures that Russell and Plumb came across in a book called Bunker Archaeology by French philosopher Paul Virilio.

这些基座在白天为员工提供了一个休闲的休息和工作场所，但在品牌举办大型活动时，也可以作为礼堂风格的长椅。

The plinths provide staff with a casual place to perch and work during the day, but can also serve as auditorium-style bench seating when the brand hosts large-scale events.

其中一些被铺上了混凝土板，以创建更正式的办公桌，而另一些则被铺上了亚麻覆盖的马鬃坐垫，以给一些区域带来舒适、休闲的感觉。

Some of them have been topped with slabs of concrete to create more formal work desks, while others have been dressed with linen-covered horsehair cushions to give some areas a cosy, lounge-like feel.

花盆也被整合到几个基座中，这些基座与从天花板延伸下来的盆栽树和多叶藤蔓相结合。

Planters have also been integrated into several of the plinths which, combined with the potted trees and leafy vines that trail from the ceiling, are meant to channel the verdant greenhouses of the Orto Botanico garden in Palermo, Italy.

一个展示样品材料、模型和照明原型的网格钢框架被竖立在房间的一侧，作为主要办公室楼层和工作室空间之间的“脊椎”。

A gridded steel framework that displays sample materials, models and lighting prototypes has been erected on one side of the room, acting as a “spine” between the main office floor and the atelier space.
