Description

Today’s workspaces have become so open that disruption is a natural by-product. Modern organisations’ drive for efficiency, collaboration and the holy-grail of innovation have removed the walls and dividers which used to create a sense of privacy and isolation. While the end is valuable and worthwhile, the means has had a negative side-effect. Separation factors are critical to the personal focus required for deep work and to hold meaningful conversation. Their removal, while positive in many ways, has also resulted in difficulties for workspace occupants. Nook was created to redress this imbalance; to deploy effortlessly in to any space, with no infrastructure required, and to offer an oasis of calm. Nook is a mobile quiet-space for people to meet & work, away from the noise of offices, events and public spaces - for phone calls, dedicated tasks, intimate conversations and spontaneous or planned meetings. Nook pods are designed to create semi-privacy and intimacy without claustrophobia or isolation. The carefully dimensioned form and attention to acoustic materials make Nook feel cozy and calm, while the openness of Nook keep it welcoming. Occupying a Nook brings a sense of peace and communicates to others ‘I am here to get things done’ such that an unspoken soft barrier is created, without having to close one-self off from the world. The structure is a sit-in booth, shaped like a classic ‘home’ icon. It includes spacious bench seats with storage space underneath and a generous table area, mains power for international plugs and USB Sockets, colour controllable lighting above and a task lamp at table level, with a convenient shelf for devices and arms, and robust wheels for high mobility & flexibility. Nook helps to make an environment agile, to cater for a variety of activities in one area. It makes a space more efficient and flexible while helping people to focus or collaborate, to isolate or gather spontaneously. Nook pods are positioned between open office desks and dedicated meeting spaces, offering an ad-hoc space in which to focus on a task or to quickly meet and connect. A single Nook is ideal for 1-2 people to work, meet, relax or eat in. It can accommodate 3-4 people for shorter periods. Bench seats can be removed or added and placed alongside, to create additional seating around the Nook. Multiple Nooks can be placed together to build larger temporary meeting spaces. Using nooks together offers real opportunities to maximize space efficiency and to cause innovation to occur. Collaboration becomes inevitable while people are connected in an inviting, exciting way.
