And the IDEA Gold Medal Winner is...

February 22, 2021

Congratulations to Meryl Hare, founder of Hare + Klein Interior Design, for taking the Gold Medal at the 2020 Idea Awards last Friday.

It was with great honour that we joined Australian Design Review for the 3rd consecutive year to announce the Gold Medal Winner at the much anticipated party of the year.

This special award recognises a person who has made an influential and enduring contribution to Australian design culture over the course of their career.

The judges remarked on Meryl Hare’s more than three decades in the industry and incredible contribution, particularly to residential spaces, which bring joy to those who inhabit her creations.

We’d like to congratulate Meryl for her outstanding work and career, along with all the winners and participants and thank them for their patience in such uncertain times.

Solutions for a Safe, Healthy and Productive Workplace

November 29, 2020

As we are all trying to navigate the current situation, offering employees a safe workplace to return to is at the top of employers’ priorities.

Essential measures such as physical distancing and increased cleaning and hand washing routines have now become the new norm.

While organisations such as Safe Work Australia and the World Health Organization recommend modifying office layouts to respect physical distance guidelines, they also acknowledge that spacial or task specific restraints mean that updating current furniture may not always be an option. In those instances, they suggest applying additional protective barriers such as screens or sneeze guards.

This is why we have developed a range of screen products that can be easily installed onto existing furniture, adding an extra layer of protection for employees and visitors.

From free standing solutions to clamp mechanisms and full screen systems, we can help you choose the right solutions for a safer workplace.

Tricentis: Epitome of Industrial Design

November 8, 2020

Located in the heart of Surry Hills, Sydney, Tricentis’ office is the epitome of industrial design. Ciara Tapia Design successfully emphasises the original architecture of the building by choosing a clean black and white colour palette that perfectly complements the industrial features.

The new office summarises the essence of a modern workspace. From our Swish electric height adjustable workstations in the open office to our Keywork counter tables in the meeting/training rooms, the space is designed to break sedentary behaviours.

Collaboration in all its forms is made possible through various formal and informal settings. Our Dart rectangle table brings the team together in the meeting room while its round sibling gathers people in the office kitchen for casual chats. Our Hush high back lounges are paired with a Dart coffee table, creating a private space for solo work or one-on-one meetings.

Haven for photographer Sebastian Mrugalski, Tricentis office has been carefully designed to create a functional and practical space for the team while paying homage to the heritage of the building.

Cobbleworks: A Modern Oasis

September 29, 2020

Spread over two levels in the heart of Sydney, Cobbleworks’ recently fitted out offices are a penchant for light, tactility and materiality. Located in an industrial style building, the interiors feature a mixture of original and contemporary style finishes, creating the perfect juxtaposition of architecture and furniture.

Designed to elevate the furniture in the space, black accents mixed with natural stone like finishes are seen on our Keywork counter table, paired with Zorro stools welcoming you upon entry. 

Cohesive in theme, the first office space features the same colourways as seen on our Uno table in the kitchen area, surrounded by Madi chairs. Additionally, in a little nook next to this our Halo counter table with Zorro stools tie in to create a comfortable breakout area for staff. 

Similar in finishes but different in layout, the second office includes Uno counter tables on castors with Zorro stools allowing them to be moved around to facilitate a variety of settings from collaboration to relaxation. 

With a focus on the evolving nature of the way we work and the relationship between the user and their environment in an open plan office, Cobbleworks office provides highly flexible and versatile solutions. Moving throughout this space, our Hugo lounges and Sofi hexagon ottomans in a trendy mustard upholstery come together to form soft seating areas. Our Sofi ottomans are mobile in design, allowing for staff to move and create their own work areas based on their needs and requirements. 

Arched windows frame the building allowing natural light to flood the rooms. Situated underneath these are a variety of seating and coffee table settings, including our Madi chairs paired with the Maya coffee table, Jena chairs paired with the Drum coffee table and Sofi ottomans coupled with the Oscar coffee table, allowing staff and visitors to interact in a casual environment. 

For more focused individual work, the offices feature a mixture of desks with black accents and florentine walnut tops including Benchwork and Swish workstations. Matched with Local acoustic screens, Sparki above desk power, Miro chairs, Balance stools, Globe pedestals and Globe sliding door cupboards for storage, a workspace which enhances productivity, dynamism and employee well being is established. 

The meeting rooms do not stray from the theme used throughout the open plan office. Contrasted against exposed brick and natural timber flooring, our Dart table and Alex chairs combine to create a contemporary environment, perfect for more formal settings. For more informal and collaborative purposes, smaller meeting rooms feature our Halo table and Madi chairs. 

Cobbleworks’ offices consider the different working environments for the modern employee. Providing various settings that focus on connection, collaboration and comfort by the curation of furniture, finishes and aesthetic.
