A SPACE OF CULTURAL CONNECTION AND GLOBAL MINDSET

In the context of global integration, the workplace of international logistics corporations such as CMA CGM is not only the operational hub but also the convergence of knowledge, collaboration, and innovation.

In the Vietnam office design executed by IDD Decor, the open discussion area design stands out as a testament to the perfect blend of functionality, aesthetics, and the corporation’s global operational philosophy.

1. Open Space – Opening Up Connected Thinking

Different from traditional enclosed meeting rooms, the open discussion area at CMA CGM’s office is designed with a flexible, free-flowing layout including relaxing sofas, modern floor seating, and multifunctional round tables.

This arrangement encourages quick and natural interactions without limitations — a key factor in the logistics industry where decisions must be made with both speed and precision.

The openness of the space not only nurtures teamwork but also inspires creativity when solving global supply chain challenges.

2. Reinforcing International Corporate Culture

CMA CGM — a world-leading shipping and logistics group headquartered in France and operating in more than 160 countries — has long been recognized for its diverse, adaptable, and modern corporate culture. The open discussion area in the Vietnam office is a physical embodiment of this cultural identity.

Through elegant neutral tones (gray, earthy brown, classic navy), minimalist interior forms, and a careful combination of natural and recessed lighting, the space conveys a modern, professional atmosphere without constraints. It reflects CMA CGM’s “global identity” in every interior detail — where every nationality and every idea is welcomed and valued.

3. Enhancing Performance, Fueling Inspiration

A study from Harvard Business Review indicates that businesses investing in open discussion areas can significantly boost group interaction and reduce decision-making time by up to 25%.
At CMA CGM, this space serves as a dynamic hub for:

  • Quick stand-up meetings for project teams

  • Internal idea pitching

  • Short training and upskilling activities

  • Informal cross-departmental conversations

The open layout reduces hierarchical barriers and builds a highly collaborative spirit — crucial in the global logistics sector where speed and coordination drive success.

4. Consistent Brand Identity and Corporate Strategy

The discussion space in CMA CGM’s Ho Chi Minh City office also symbolizes the enterprise’s comprehensive branding strategy. The CMA CGM logo is placed prominently along the transition corridor, connecting focused work areas with collaborative zones. High-quality interior materials, aligned with the brand’s signature palette, reinforce the professionalism, credibility, and global stature CMA CGM upholds.
