Workbays

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, 2012
Up until recently, individual work was performed at oneѓ__s desk and meetings were held in conference rooms. Today, offices are places of constant communication. People retreat to alternative environments to perform silent, concentrated work and to hold meetings. In order to productively structure this new way of working, various different work situations need to be interlinked.
With Workbays, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have developed an organisational cycle that redefines the working environment and breaks with the typical rigid planning structure of offices. But Workbays are more than just multifunctional furniture systems. They are systems that offer employees the freedom to select the work environment that suits their respective current tasks.
A variety of applications
Workbays feature sound damping elements and thus help to absorb any distracting noise in the areas surrounding the individual rooms. They can spontaneously be used as telephone booths, as video conference rooms, as reading corners, as coffee corners or as meeting rooms ѓ__ without having to banish participants to a closed room.
Configurations according to individual requirements
Workbays are suitable for a wide range of different rooms. The system can be extended and adjusted as necessary and thus grows organically. The concept is based on wall elements in two different heights.
