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:

Redefining Hybrid Workspaces

May 16, 2024

Emerging as a global shift, hybrid work models blend remote and onsite tasks, reshaping our ideas of office functionality with a need for adaptive environments that cater to both solitary focus and collaborative engagement. 

Understanding the evolving demands of innovative workplaces, our product designs break away from the traditional rigidity of office layouts. It requires office space to be inherently flexible and perfectly align with the dynamic needs. 

In pursuit of flexibility and comfort at work, we craft spaces that not only function with unparalleled efficiency but also promote creativity and connectivity by adapting smart modular and movable designs.

Our commitment extends beyond functionality as we embed advanced technology into our office furniture, ensuring seamless transitions between home and office work. Integrated tech stations and built-in ports, optimised for digital collaboration, support productive and flexible workflows.

We also prioritise well-being with designs that include private nooks and wellness areas, offering sanctuary for focus or rejuvenation. This thoughtful incorporation of personal space within the office landscape is essential for maintaining mental and physical health, particularly in a hybrid setup. 

We believe that the future of office design lies in the forward-thinking approach to tailoring adaptable solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s workforce, inspiring change and innovation.

Discover our best innovative products designed for hybrid workspaces below:

Beyond Aesthetics: How Organic Design Influences Modern Workspace

May 6, 2024

Organic design draws inspiration from the natural world with flowing lines, natural materials, and shapes that cultivate a sense of well-being, calming and functional workspaces. 

At Krost, we understand this design philosophy goes beyond aesthetics. It influences how individuals interact with their surroundings by fostering more creative and harmonious spaces.

Unlike rigid, linear arrangements, organic layouts create a collaborative flow that encourages people to move more freely and engage with their environment and colleagues. 

Through our innovative approach, we integrate organic principles into our products by incorporating sustainably sourced materials, soft curves, and fluid lines that echo the forms of nature. Organic forms, often mimicking the fluid, asymmetrical patterns found in nature, have a profound impact on psychological comfort and stress reduction across the workplace. 

By bringing the natural outdoor elements into indoor office designs, every piece of our collection is crafted to create spaces that feel alive, connected, and inherently comforting, where ideas flourish and people thrive. 

Embracing organic design is about inspiring change. We are committed to redefining workspaces that not only function efficiently but also enhance the human experience within them. 

Explore our range of organic designs here:

Transforming Ocean Bound Plastics Into Purposeful Design

April 4, 2024

Ocean Bound Plastics, also known as “Abandoned Plastic Waste”, are uncontrolled plastics at  risk of ending up in our oceans. These include microplastics, mezzo-plastics, and macro-plastics, mainly collected from coastal areas.

With an ambition centered on offering durable products through advanced and sustainable manufacturing, Krost is at the forefront of this initiative. Driving the movement towards cleaner oceans, we give new life to plastic waste at high risk of polluting the oceans, by integrating ocean-bound plastics (OBP) into our product designs.

Our OBP material is now recognised by a third-party audited OBP Certification Program, launched by Zero Plastics Oceans & Control Union. It ensures that every step, from collection to recycling process, meets the highest social and environmental standards.

We are proud to introduce our OBP certified product range with the Poppi and Cortex chairs as part of our dedication to the environment. All polypropylene parts of the Cortex chair, alongside the entire shell of each Poppi chair, is crafted from certified OBP through mechanical recycling processes. We aim to help divert tons of plastic waste into functional and high-quality seating solutions that support both people and the planet. 

Our OBP collection is strictly audited and compliant with the Global Recycled Standard (GRS 4.0), showcasing that our commitment to sustainability is measurable and continually improving year after year.

At Krost, we look towards a future where every product has a positive impact.

Discover our seating solutions here and be a part of the change.

Embracing Human-Centric Design: A Path to Enhanced Usability and Experience

March 26, 2024

Human-centric design is an approach to problem-solving that places the people we're designing for at the heart of the process.

At Krost, we prioritise user needs and behaviours when designing new products. This focus on the user creates spaces that enhance comfort, productivity, and emotional well-being.

We design furniture with adaptable layouts and features that accommodate various abilities and lifestyles. This ensures accessibility and inclusivity for all occupants.

From flexible workstations that seamlessly transform into meeting tables to ergonomic seating options that accommodate diverse activities, we provide value-driven solutions tailored to our clients' evolving needs.

Our goal is to keep users' wants, pain points, and preferences at the forefront of every phase of the process.

Human-centric design isn't just a feel-good philosophy, it's an effective business strategy. By creating spaces that empower people, businesses can foster a more productive and engaged workforce.

Ultimately, human-centric design is about more than just creating spaces; it's about empowering individuals. Recognising that when people feel valued and supported, they thrive. 

Explore how we showcase human-centric design below and view our product range here.

Krost's Sydney Office Update With 3D Tour: A Blueprint For Workplace Design

December 20, 2023

Our latest Sydney office renovation was more than just an aesthetic upgrade, it's a reflection of modern work culture —flexible, intuitive, and inherently human-centric. To achieve this, we set our goal to design a space that caters to diverse work styles, settings and needs.

Throughout the space, strategically placed meeting and breakout rooms foster collaboration and spontaneous interactions. Our Remi counter table serves as a hub for impromptu catch-ups, while the curve of our Sofi ottomans create a welcoming space for informal chats.

Each room is named and can be easily booked in our calendar system:

The Loft - A feature collaborative space in our Mascot office, carefully designed to offer a dynamic environment tailored for both brief stand-up huddles and teamwork-driven sessions.

The Arena - Embodies our commitment to being at the forefront of furniture design and innovation by integrating modern tech into specially designed, functional furniture.

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

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

The Booth - Intentionally designed to nurture a collaborative and undistracted environment, perfect for brief touchpoints or extensive brainstorming sessions.

The Nook - For hyper-focused task immersion, tailored for small offices, it cleverly maximises efficiency without compromising on style.

Highlighted in the centre of the office is our new Clic workstation, featuring a sleek black rounded profile and a Coastal Oak Woodmatt worktop from Polytec. To enhance privacy and infuse greenery into the workspace, we've incorporated custom joinery planter boxes that elegantly divide the workstations, as well as our Cubby planters at the foot of the desks.

Our open workstation area is equipped with Archi chairs, meticulously crafted for supreme ergonomic comfort and flexibility. Complementing this setup is a dynamic hot desking spine, flanked by planter box lockers. This not only introduces a touch of greenery but also provides personalised storage for our staff.

Experience our complete office transformation from beginning to end here and explore our Sydney showroom today through the immersive 3D tour below.
