Beyond Aesthetics: How Organic Design Influences Modern Workspace

May 6, 2024

Organic design draws inspiration from the natural world with flowing lines, natural materials, and shapes that cultivate a sense of well-being, calming and functional workspaces. 

At Krost, we understand this design philosophy goes beyond aesthetics. It influences how individuals interact with their surroundings by fostering more creative and harmonious spaces.

Unlike rigid, linear arrangements, organic layouts create a collaborative flow that encourages people to move more freely and engage with their environment and colleagues. 

Through our innovative approach, we integrate organic principles into our products by incorporating sustainably sourced materials, soft curves, and fluid lines that echo the forms of nature. Organic forms, often mimicking the fluid, asymmetrical patterns found in nature, have a profound impact on psychological comfort and stress reduction across the workplace. 

By bringing the natural outdoor elements into indoor office designs, every piece of our collection is crafted to create spaces that feel alive, connected, and inherently comforting, where ideas flourish and people thrive. 

Embracing organic design is about inspiring change. We are committed to redefining workspaces that not only function efficiently but also enhance the human experience within them. 

Explore our range of organic designs here:

Embracing Human-Centric Design: A Path to Enhanced Usability and Experience

March 26, 2024

Human-centric design is an approach to problem-solving that places the people we're designing for at the heart of the process.

At Krost, we prioritise user needs and behaviours when designing new products. This focus on the user creates spaces that enhance comfort, productivity, and emotional well-being.

We design furniture with adaptable layouts and features that accommodate various abilities and lifestyles. This ensures accessibility and inclusivity for all occupants.

From flexible workstations that seamlessly transform into meeting tables to ergonomic seating options that accommodate diverse activities, we provide value-driven solutions tailored to our clients' evolving needs.

Our goal is to keep users' wants, pain points, and preferences at the forefront of every phase of the process.

Human-centric design isn't just a feel-good philosophy, it's an effective business strategy. By creating spaces that empower people, businesses can foster a more productive and engaged workforce.

Ultimately, human-centric design is about more than just creating spaces; it's about empowering individuals. Recognising that when people feel valued and supported, they thrive. 

Explore how we showcase human-centric design below and view our product range here.

Krost's Sydney Office Update With 3D Tour: A Blueprint For Workplace Design

December 20, 2023

Our latest Sydney office renovation was more than just an aesthetic upgrade, it's a reflection of modern work culture —flexible, intuitive, and inherently human-centric. To achieve this, we set our goal to design a space that caters to diverse work styles, settings and needs.

Throughout the space, strategically placed meeting and breakout rooms foster collaboration and spontaneous interactions. Our Remi counter table serves as a hub for impromptu catch-ups, while the curve of our Sofi ottomans create a welcoming space for informal chats.

Each room is named and can be easily booked in our calendar system:

The Loft - A feature collaborative space in our Mascot office, carefully designed to offer a dynamic environment tailored for both brief stand-up huddles and teamwork-driven sessions.

The Arena - Embodies our commitment to being at the forefront of furniture design and innovation by integrating modern tech into specially designed, functional furniture.

The Hub - A quiet space that offers a refreshing change from the workstation zone, providing a focused work environment for teams looking for a change.

The Home Suite - A perfect blend of comfort and function, where private chats and casual catch-ups combine seamlessly with productivity, away from the buzz of the office.

The Booth - Intentionally designed to nurture a collaborative and undistracted environment, perfect for brief touchpoints or extensive brainstorming sessions.

The Nook - For hyper-focused task immersion, tailored for small offices, it cleverly maximises efficiency without compromising on style.

Highlighted in the centre of the office is our new Clic workstation, featuring a sleek black rounded profile and a Coastal Oak Woodmatt worktop from Polytec. To enhance privacy and infuse greenery into the workspace, we've incorporated custom joinery planter boxes that elegantly divide the workstations, as well as our Cubby planters at the foot of the desks.

Our open workstation area is equipped with Archi chairs, meticulously crafted for supreme ergonomic comfort and flexibility. Complementing this setup is a dynamic hot desking spine, flanked by planter box lockers. This not only introduces a touch of greenery but also provides personalised storage for our staff.

Experience our complete office transformation from beginning to end here and explore our Sydney showroom today through the immersive 3D tour below.
