At 4SPACE Design, we believe that the best spaces don’t just look good—they feel good. We constantly seek new ways to bring serenity and inspiration to our designs, and recently, we found an unexpected yet powerful tool to enhance both creativity and calm in our projects: the LEGO® Botanical Collection.
From office spaces to client projects, LEGO Botanicals have quickly become a key element in our design approach. Not only do these nature-inspired creations offer beauty and depth, but they also bring an energy of playfulness and mindfulness that aligns with our creative philosophy.
Enhancing Creativity and Focus with LEGO Botanicals
At 4SPACE, we emphasize the importance of staying open to new ideas and fostering a culture of creativity. The design process can often be intense, and creative blocks are a natural part of the journey. That’s why we believe in incorporating play into our routine. Research shows that constructive play can reduce stress and improve problem-solving—qualities essential for any designer. For our team, LEGO has proven to be an ideal way to pause, reconnect, and re-energize, bringing a refreshing boost to our creative flow.
The LEGO Botanical Collection is much more than just decoration in our office. It’s a tool that we use to step away from project pressures and reignite our creativity. As we assemble these beautiful pieces—whether it’s a bonsai tree or a bouquet of wildflowers—we find ourselves thinking in new directions, uncovering fresh ideas for our designs. Each piece, from its form to its color, brings a sense of calm and clarity, allowing us to recharge and return to our projects with renewed vision.
A Natural Touch for Our Client Projects
At 4SPACE, we’re always looking for ways to blend natural elements with modern design. The LEGO Botanical Collection has seamlessly fit into this goal, adding subtle, nature-inspired touches to our client spaces. In projects like Akabeko, a Japanese restaurant, the minimalist Bonsai set brought a sense of tranquility to the environment. Similarly, in MOLI, a Chinese restaurant, the Plum Blossom and Chrysanthemum sets added a refined touch that blended traditional and modern aesthetics.
These botanical pieces serve as more than just visual elements—they act as conversation starters, connecting design, nature, and creativity in a way that resonates with our clients and their guests. By incorporating LEGO Botanicals, we aim to inspire others to see design as not just a visual art but as an experience that encourages mindfulness and balance.
Showcasing LEGO Botanicals in Our Projects
We’re excited to share how the LEGO Botanical Collection has found its place in some of our most recent projects.
At Akabeko, a Japanese restaurant, the elegant Bonsai tree became a standout feature, blending seamlessly with the minimalist design and creating a calming atmosphere for guests. Similarly, in Moli by Shi, a Chinese restaurant, we incorporated the delicate Plum Blossom and Chrysanthemum sets, bringing a refined natural touch that beautifully complements the restaurant’s modern yet traditional aesthetic. Back in our own office, we’ve proudly displayed a variety of LEGO Tiny Plants, transforming our workspace into a vibrant, creative environment. These LEGO plants are more than just decorative—they’re integral to our design philosophy, adding a playful, nature-inspired element that sparks creativity in every corner of our projects.
Why We Recommend LEGO Play for Designers Everywhere
One of the greatest discoveries in working with LEGO has been its ability to unlock new perspectives. This tactile experience of building encourages us to see things differently, breaking free from conventional thinking. That’s why we recommend LEGO play for other designers who may be seeking fresh inspiration or a mental break from intense projects. Building with LEGO is not only a fun activity—it’s a form of mindfulness that lets ideas flow naturally, creating an ideal environment for innovation.
Inspiring Collaboration and Team Spirit
For us at 4SPACE, LEGO has brought something invaluable to our team culture: collaboration. Building LEGO sets together fosters a sense of camaraderie, allowing our team to communicate, brainstorm, and problem-solve in a relaxed, creative setting. Whether it’s in our office or a client’s space, these sets encourage us to work together in ways that ultimately strengthen our designs.
A Tool that Bridges Work and Life.
What makes LEGO truly special is how it bridges different aspects of life. As Firas, co-founder and Creative director at 4Space, said, “LEGO play reminds us that imagination knows no boundaries. Beyond the office, I enjoy building LEGO sets with my family—sharing moments of creativity and joy with my children” Whether in professional projects or personal life, this experience reinforces the importance of staying curious and open to new ideas.
At 4SPACE, the LEGO Botanical Collection is more than decoration—it’s a creative lifeline, a stress-reliever, and a design tool all rolled into one. We’re proud to integrate this innovative approach into our projects and share it with our clients, friends, and followers. Through our partnership with LEGO, we’re not only creating beautiful spaces but also inspiring a fresh, balanced perspective in the world of design.
