Modular and MOBILE OFFICE

AIDS help blur spatial boundaries

and generate fluid functionality.

For maximum workplace productivity, organization

is essential. Especially when you consider a statistic

published in the Harvard Business Review: 80 per cent

of an office worker’s day is spent in meetings and in

fulfilling colleagues’ requests. CBRE predicts that by

2020, 45 per cent of multinationals will shift from

a constraining work setup to a hot-desking strategy

• up from the 30 per cent who employ it today.
  A collaborative approach allows an office to open
  up but also requires time-saving versatility and mobility
  in terms of furniture and tools. From lamps that can
  charge smartphones to whiteboards on wheels, many
  of today’s office products are based on the idea that
  a temporary workplace can be ‘built’ anywhere. One
  advantage is the ease at which employees can designate
  impermanent functions to certain rooms or areas. The
  results are a sense of freedom and the elimination of
  constraints. – LGM

Dustbin or stool? Moving Walls lets it up to the user. Designer

Jörg Boner selected recycled Formfleece in stone grey for

his stackable Moving Stools, which can be flipped to serve as

containers or wastepaper baskets. Each stool has two cut-out

handholds and a moulded, slightly concave seat.

Slim System is a series of versatile and easy-to-assemble lights

by Josep Lluscà for Fluvia, which is Simon Electric’s technical

lighting brand. The striking linear constructions complement the

architecture of the space they inhabit, inviting both horizontal

and vertical extension.

Constructed from solid beech, the easel that holds Studiotools’
whiteboard has a matte-lacquered finish. The visual midpoint of today’s
modern office, the object, which can be carried by one person, is also
available with wheels. To store more than one easel, the user just folds
and stacks them – no tools required.
