Details
Today’s office must serve as a place that creates and nurtures connections among working people. WORK ISLE is an office table series designed as the smallest functional unit in a workplace, incorporating mechanisms that foster communication among workers in real office environments and forge stronger team bonds. Focusing on the distance and spatial relationships between users, WORK ISLE achieves a thoughtful balance between personal space and team-shared space. By positioning tables like scattered isles within a workspace, the layout encourages people to move around freely and promotes spontaneous communication.
The Jury‘s Statement
With a subtle yet powerful design language, »WORK ISLE« strikes an inspiring balance between retreat and interaction. The confident arrangement of individual desks as small islands encourages spontaneous exchange and strengthens team cohesion. What is particularly impressive is the intelligent design of the spaces in between, enabling flexible use and making a sense of community visible in everyday office life. This achievement exemplifies excellent product design at the highest level.
