A successful relationship between people, brand and space

A new workplace where technology, humanity and collaboration come together in equal measure – this is the vision for Canon Austria and Canon CEE at the Vienna site.

Influenced by a corporate philosophy known as Kyosei, which translates to “living and working together for the common good, the new headquarters brings workplace culture, spatial design and customer experience together to form a harmonious, forward‑looking whole.

“Canon is sending a strong signal of innovation and brand identity with the new head office. It’s far more than just a work setting: it’s a place for connection and inspiration – a space for future possibilities.” (Helmut Hafner | Communications Manager, Canon Austria)

The Customer Experience Zone, Modern Working Lounge, Production Zone and Canon Gallery form spaces that reflect Canon’s innovative spirit.

Soft lines and warm materials: design that encourages exploration

The architecture echoes Canon’s pioneering role in introducing rounded camera body shapes. Soft contours and curved elements create seamless transitions between the areas, giving the headquarters an inviting atmosphere. The inspiration drawn from traditional Japanese architecture shines through in warm wood surfaces and subtle colour gradients that link the reception area with the Customer Experience Zone. 

Welcoming environments defined by innovation and hospitality

The Modern Working Lounge adapts flexibly for applications that range from informal meetings to events. In this setting, Canon draws on the design language and rich colour palette of Klöber CoMeet, featuring a special edition in the frame colour Maple Red.
