UNSW Industrial Design Students Explore Krost Manufacturing and Design Process

October 16, 2024

We recently had the pleasure of hosting industrial design students from UNSW for a factory tour at our Smithfield manufacturing facility.

The afternoon started with a warm welcome before we guided the students through our office, warehouse and machinery.

During the tour, we provided an in-depth look at how we approach design from concept to completion. We showcased our entire design process, starting with initial ideas, followed by prototyping and testing, and finally moving into the production stage, highlighting how our machinery plays a crucial role in bringing our designs to life.

The students were highly engaged, asking thoughtful questions throughout the tour.

We also gave the students a firsthand look at our warehousing solutions and systems, and how these support our day-to-day operations. It was great to see their interest in how design can evolve from a concept into a fully realised product, especially through our local manufacturing processes.

We wrapped up the visit with light refreshments, which gave the students an opportunity to further interact with our team and discuss various aspects of commercial design and furniture production.

The visit was a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with the future generation of designers and to inspire them with the practical and creative aspects of our industry. We hope this experience helped spark new ideas and excitement for their future careers in design!

An Executive Office with good interior and furniture design in Sydney, Australia

A New Era Of Sophistication In The Studio Office

December 13, 2023

The Studio Office effortlessly blends form and function, whether it's a formal sit-down or a casual breakout session, this executive office offers a versatile and aesthetically pleasing workspace for both collaboration and productivity.

Featuring our sophisticated Elki desk characterised by an organic shaped worktop resting on a central joinery spine that maximises support and space. The desk seamlessly integrates personal storage, including a coat cupboard, and a convenient bar fridge, alongside practical filing solutions and wall-mounted units.

For meetings and discussions, visitors have the flexibility to gather around the desk on our Taro armchairs or enjoy a more relaxed setting in our inviting Hugo lounge area.

Adding a touch of modern elegance, the office is framed by distinctive "gherkin" Autex paneling, contributing to the linear aesthetics of the space and enhancing acoustic absorption, creating a more conducive work environment.

The seamless integration of technology in both the lounge and desk areas ensures effortless video conferencing connections, accommodating various meeting styles with ease.

Step Into The Home Suite: Your Sanctuary For Productivity and Comfort

November 14, 2023

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

Designed with relaxation and comfort in mind, the Home Suite offers space for casual interaction at our Chitchat coffee table and invites you to sink into our Arlo armchair for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the office.

Embracing soft curves and chic details, the Ava lounge features custom upholstery and encapsulates minimalist beauty, offering an effortless aesthetic.

Our carefully crafted joinery emphasises ample storage, balancing privacy behind cupboards with the openness of the overhead hanger for curated displays.

The incorporation of Laminex’s scallop wall lining introduces a textured dimension to the space by enhancing the monochromatic colour palette with subtle yet impactful depth.

The Hub: Adding Superpowered Collab Zones into the Workspace

November 12, 2023

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

Designed as a sit-to-stand breakout space, the centrepiece of The Hub is our Swish desk, aimed for dual users to power through tasks together. With the inclusion of large monitors there is excellent virtual as well as physical space for tasks to be processed optimally.

One of the essential features of The Hub is our Idea whiteboard, essential for brainstorming and creative team building. Sleek and modern storage is provided by our Sash wall shelf and Universal coat cupboard, creating a neat and organised space for personal belongings.

To further enhance the user experience, we have incorporated our comfortable Taro armchair as breakout soft seating. This provides a welcoming spot for additional discussions and interactions, ensuring that The Hub is not just a space for work, but also for meaningful connections.

An Arena For Innovative Collaboration

November 9, 2023

The design of The Arena room embodies our commitment to being at the forefront of furniture design and innovation by integrating modern tech into the most functional furniture designs.

Our new upholstered Co-Op table base in our charcoal wool and the use of fabric throughout the room help to absorb sound and create a warm and welcoming space. The rear wall in Autex acoustic wall panels further soften the acoustics and layer textures into the space.

The integration of new and emerging video conferencing facilities within this room ensures it is well-equipped for modern collaborative work, including digital sharing and presentations. The custom leaf shaped table top, featured in Polytec’s Tasmanian Oak woodmatt, adds soft lines and organic curves to the space. The shape of the furniture enables a flow of connected conversation with both screen-to-person and person-to-person contact.

Our custom-designed bookshelf serves a dual purpose, maximising storage while providing a focal point for the meeting room and breakout reading space. These spatial functions allow for an organic flow of conversation in both formal meeting settings but also in casual connections between staff which foster the creative brainstorming and team cohesion in the physical workspace.
