One of the main features of the office is a staircase that connects both levels, made with Steel, wood and a polyethylene screen; establishing a transition between the reception and the workspace, while at the same time becoming part of the office furniture.

The coffee area is composed of various elements using the orange color, reproducing the main color that represents Xiaomi, creating into the space a explicit identification with the brand.
