Improving Patients' Waiting Time through Furniture at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

June 10, 2020

We were recently involved in the refurbishment of Chris O’Brien Lifehouse waiting rooms in Sydney. The project called “Waiting for Change” aimed at improving how cancer patients wait. From waiting for their diagnosis, to waiting for tests, treatment, results and many other reasons, patients spend a lot of time waiting.

The project involved supplying patients with comfortable and practical spaces, giving the waiting rooms a more homely feel by adding some greenery and separating the seating arrangement to give patients their own space to rest or work in, as well as updating the furniture.

We are very pleased that we could be a small part of this worthwhile project and could help make patient’s waiting experience a little more comfortable.

The Krost Experience - Elcom

January 29, 2020

Calling Redfern their home for over 15 years, Elcom’s headquarters were no longer able to adapt to the dynamic industry they operate in nor keep up with their own rapidly expanding business requirements.

When they decided to move to Sydney CBD, they turned to Krost to help provide innovative furniture solutions that would foster creativity and collaboration.

Moving away from their antiquated cubicle settings, we worked hand in hand with Josh and John, the directors of the company, to design a flexible environment that welcomes employees and clients alike and promotes team work and communication.

Watch their story.
