Filled with an abundance of natural light, NSW Business Chamber’s new Wollongong office offers its employees a breezy and comfortable space to thrive in.
Designed by Powerhouse Group, a blend of white, black and natural finishes was chosen to furnish the various formal and informal workspaces.
The generous open plan office features our Benchwork workstations combined with the Flow chair, Globe mobile pedestals, Trak screens and Logic monitor arms. The natural wooden finish of the worktops, biscuit dividers and planters topping the Globe sliding door cupboards ties in perfectly with the adjacent kitchen.
The boardroom and executive offices were fitted with our Oslo range of desks and tables paired with the leather Miro S and Alex chairs creating a timeless and sophisticated look.
A bright and modern kitchen is revealed through a wooden screen and offers multiple functional settings to eat or meet at. Our Keywork counter tables are beautifully paired with Zorro stools and offer an alternative to the more traditional configurations of Halo tables and Inc chairs.
To complete this fit-out, our custom joinery services were used throughout the space, from the kitchen to the office storage and water station.
An inspired design and selection of products have combined to produce an aesthetically inspiring and functional office landscape.

Decked out in Krost furniture, the Tribal Warrior Education and Cultural Hub in Redfern, Sydney, is ready for its grand opening today.
Tribal Warrior Aboriginal Corporation is a community based organisation which has been working for the last few months on creating a homework help room for children and teenagers aged 5-18 years old and their mentors. The multi-purpose room provides a safe and quiet place for the mentees to not only do their homework, but also receive counselling, practice the didgeridoo or cultural dancing.
Relying on grants and donations to see their project through, the Tribal Warrior Aboriginal Corporation is now ready to welcome the community. We are glad we could help such a worthwhile and significant project.

Not sure how many people you will be able to fit around your meeting or boardroom table? Here is a quick guide:
How can you work this out?
First calculate the perimeter of the table. As a general rule, each person should have a minimum of 600mm space to give them enough arm and leg room for ease of movement to and from the table. Of course, in some scenarios more space is required and it also depends on the size of chair. For an executive boardroom setting for example, we suggest increasing the space to 800mm.
Let’s break it down, if we take a 3000mm wide by 1200mm deep meeting table for instance, it has a perimeter of 8400mm, so depending on the purpose of the table, we could potentially seat up to 14 people. Another example is a 1500mm diameter table with a perimeter of approximately 4710mm. We would recommend a maximum of 7 people for this size table.
If you need to maximise the number of people around the table without compromising on comfort, choose a more compact chair such as our Zed or Sax chairs, or one without arms such as the Alex of the Gin chair.
For more information, do not hesitate to visit our Mascot HQ and speak with one of our consultants.

Our Keywork workstations paired with Miro S chairs, Trak screens and planters create a functional zone for office staff to work and collaborate. The clever selection of white legs and grey fabric screens perfectly complementing the surrounding aesthetic.
McGrath’s new space is a timeless oasis that will concrete the foundations for the company’s success for years to come.

The average person will spend over 90,000 hours at work during their lifetime, so ensuring one's well-being is nurtured in an office space is extremely important.
When planning or changing your office space, a small accessory can make a big difference. Here are a few of our favourites.
Logic Monitor Arms - Having the right ergonomic setup is an important part of encouraging healthy workplace practices. Part of this setup includes the addition of monitor arms to desk tops. Logic monitor arms can be used to mount one or more screens and can be set at custom heights to suit individual users ensuring long lasting comfort.
Planters - Introducing plants and greenery into a workspace has been one of the most effective ways to bring touches of nature into the office. Recent studies have shown that workers felt an improved sense of well-being when surrounded by biophilic elements. Our Globe, Universal and Trak planters are the perfect yet simple way to make plants a part of a workplace and can be added onto storage units or used in conjunction with our Trak workstation system.
Cushi - In addition to adding Logic Monitor Arms to your desk, our Cushi footrest completes this ergonomic set up. Created with health benefits in mind, Cushi prevents long and short-term health problems such as slow blood circulation, back tension and promotes proper posture.
Sparki - In a technological age, having power solutions easily available on your desk creates a more productive work lifestyle. Compact and sleek, our Sparki above desk power solution allows users access to a GPO and 2 USB ports.
