Outfitting the Modern Office

August 3, 2020

An abundance of natural light floods the interior of this newly fitted out office space located in the heart of Sydney. Thoughtful in design, addressing the nuances of different work settings, the office includes a mixture of open and private workspaces, meeting rooms, lounge areas and a breakroom, all designed to offer employees various spots to work. 

Greeted by our Jive reception counter, the grandeur nature of the piece exudes a contemporary look through its thick 58mm panel construction and minimalist profile. A comfortable and welcoming space is further created with our Hugo lounges paired with the Nest coffee table, indulging clients and visitors in the ultimate front of house experience. 

Moving through the space, Hugo lounges and Nest coffee tables are spotted again in the communal area, facilitating a relaxing transition into breaks or informal meetings. Perfect as a side table or coffee table, Nest features a lightweight wood construction, and as the name suggests, designed to be nested if needed or used for individual work. 

Minimalist and organic in feel, the open plan workspace features rows of Benchwork workstations, complemented with Local acoustic screens, Biscuit dividers, Hana task chairs and Globe pedestals. Adjacent to the workstations are small offices for private and individualised work featuring the same furniture. The open plan interior is light and bright with monochromatic hues, while the small offices display a red feature wall, a characteristic carried throughout the office in other meeting rooms for a cohesive feel.

Fresh and playful colours are used throughout the kitchen and breakout space. Using Poppi chairs in Moss Grey and Cosmopolitan tables in natural oak finishes, the space blends a wide range of furniture pieces to create an eclectic, diverse aesthetic for staff to relax. 

Meeting rooms are displayed throughout the large office space, all featuring a distinct red wall to add personality and create a point of difference between the areas. The formal meeting room features a Keywork table and Sax chairs with black detailing, creating a strong contrast and look. 

Smaller rooms for informal meetings feature our Alex chairs and Halo table with a custom D-end shape top to suit the layout of the room. The last of the meeting rooms include our FortyFour chair paired with the Cosmopolitan table to facilitate a productive and focused environment. 

Designed by True Project and Strutt Studios, this office offers various spaces for the modern employee to work based on what best suits their needs, whether it be meeting a colleague in an informal setting or finding a quiet place to work solo. Along with using black, white and greys, hints of colours are used throughout for visual impact creating a comfortable and contemporary workplace.

2019 Trend Forecast

January 23, 2019

When it comes to crafting the ultimate office, staying ahead of the trends ensures that your space is designed with longevity and functionality in mind. To help you make sense of what’s to come in the commercial space our research has highlighted the following:

Softer Design - Residential influence is becoming even stronger, furniture and offices are taking on a homely style. Commercial furniture is quickly responding to the trend with the emergence of soft lines, luxe fabrics and cozy colours.

Demand for Experience driven spaces - The demand for social spaces will extend throughout 2019. Facilities that encourage staff to have fun such as table tennis tables, coffee bars, exercise zones and courtyards are highly sought after.

Colours - Coral takes the win for Pantone colour of the year and we expect to see it more along with tones such as blush, khaki, navy, softer blues, yellow and emerald green. Natural and earthy colours will also ring through 2019 with greys, beiges, whites, burnt oranges and tans.

Standing Desks -  They’re here to stay, the industry recognises the importance of health and wellbeing, with the focus on ergonomics still remaining strong.

Advanced Task Chairs - They’re getting better and better, in terms of aesthetics and comfort. Chairs with supreme functionality such as automatic tension control, core equalisers and greater adjustment options will be at the forefront.

Working From Home Arrangements - Calling for employers to ensure that their staff have an adequate set up at home to be the most productive. Do they have the right chair?  Desk? Monitor arms? Technology?

Wire Up - Nowadays employees have higher expectations when it comes to technology so avoid frustrations and ensure that your office is equipped with all the right power accessories. Consider USB charging, laptop holders and more GPO’s.

Pods & Zones - Pods and working zones were rampant at the lastest Orgatec. We expect to see this trickle through with more emphasis on quiet rooms with soft furniture, furniture with acoustic materials and the high back lounge trend to stick around.

The De-cluttering movement - Everyone’s talking about Marie Kondo - the organisational guru, her movement is taking the world by storm. Capture the trend by encouraging staff to be organised, offer sufficient storage, filing systems and online cloud storage.

Plants  - From a small cactus on a desk to lush vertical gardens, integrating nature in the office will still be very much on trend in 2019. Studies have also shown that offices with plants are known to be more productive. Read more about office plants here.
