A New Era of Expression: Maximalist Design for Creative Workspaces

May 27, 2024

Maximalism is redefining the way we think of office design. 

By embracing an eclectic trend that celebrates bold colours, diverse patterns and textures, this design philosophy rejects the rules of minimalism and thrives on the principle of  “abundance” in creating spaces that stimulate visuals and evoke emotions. 

The maximalist approach injects dynamic personalities and creativity into every workspace, igniting an environment where employees feel inspired and engaged.

We understand that the modern workplace is more than just functionality, they need to perform engaging aesthetics and communicate uniqueness that reflects a brand identity and a corporate culture. 

Every product tells a story. 

At Krost, our range of maximalist products embrace rich and textured materials, from lush velvet to premium soft boucle fabrics with broad options of vibrant colours. Our crafted pieces break away from traditional designs to infuse energy into workplaces, blend storytelling and bespoke aesthetics to amplify client’s vision and brand characteristics. 

As we look into the future of office space design, maximalism embodies a movement towards an inspiring incorporation of art, design, and expression that showcase the unique characters and values of every workplace. 

Join us to experience the future of creative workspace with our maximalist range:

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.

Blending History and Modernity at Melbourne's Iconic Skipping Girl Building

August 29, 2023

Melbourne, a city where every corner has a story, and every brick holds a secret. One such tale belongs to the Skipping Girl building on 651 Victoria St, Abbotsford Victoria.

This building is not just any landmark. It is fondly known to locals as the home of the famous "Skipping Girl Vinegar" neon sign, a dazzling symbol since the 1930s. Once a beacon for a popular vinegar brand, it has since become a cultural icon, symbolising Melbourne's evolution from an industrial hub to a modern metropolis.

Today, the Skipping Girl building has turned a new chapter. The Stem Group has breathed fresh life into this architectural gem, infusing it with raw urban elements coupled with the sophisticated flair of the modern age.

The result is a space that is both timeless and contemporary, a place where old tales meet new dreams.

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by the Casali reception counter, which gracefully bows with its radial curve. The backdrop of aged brick walls, witness to decades of Melbourne's growth, is complemented by the modern Stecca Wood panelling in a Notaio Walnut finish. Add the tactile warmth of the Soba chairs wrapped in khaki boucle wool, and you're in for a sensory treat.

Moving through the space, the Benchwork executive desk provides contemporary sophistication, accentuated by our Sonic task chair and the ever-vibrant Mali Chair in green. 

The heart of the office beats at the Benchwork and Swish workstations, framed by Arc screens that offer both privacy and a glimpse into creative minds at work. Nestled amidst this, the black Globe sliding door cupboards, adorned with planters, lend a green touch.

Natural light floods the staff area, where our Merge D-end counter table and Calvin chairs beckon for a coffee break chat. One can almost hear the laughter of yesteryears blending with today's banter.

In essence, the rejuvenated Skipping Girl building is a space where history and modernity meet in perfect harmony. It is a place where creativity and innovation can thrive, and where new stories can be written.

So, next time you're in Melbourne, be sure to skip (pun intended!) inside and take a journey through time.
