Future-Proof the Office with Modular Furniture

In an era where organisations’ needs and circumstances can change rapidly, it’s more important than ever to think long-term when investing in interior design solutions. To ensure the office remains a healthy and effective working environment, the furnishings must be adaptable to evolving needs.

Make Smart Choices

Imagine you’re putting together a jigsaw puzzle. It has many pieces in different shapes and patterns. Wouldn’t it be easier if more of the pieces fit together?

One way to think about an interior design solution is as a puzzle. The more pieces that fit together, the easier it is to assemble. So, if you need to rearrange the "puzzle" after a reorganisation, a change in working methods, or a move to new premises, it’s much simpler if you’ve chosen pieces that are compatible from the start.

Modular Furniture – Pieces that Fit Together

The concept of modularity refers to components that can be taken apart and reassembled in various ways. A well-known example is the modular sofa. This type of sofa consists of different modules, such as a chaise longue, corner piece, and standard seat, which can be combined in different configurations.

The benefits of modular solutions are numerous, and not just for sofas. Kinnarps offers everything from seating groups to storage solutions and screens with a modular design. The aim is to ensure that our customers’ interior solutions have as long a lifecycle as possible!

Example:

The patented bracket for fastening the backrests of the Fields range makes it easy to add more Fields modules without damaging the fabric. This means that two separate seating groups can be connected to create a small meeting space with room for both a table and a monitor.

Example:

Capacity is a modular storage system with different modules that align perfectly no matter how you combine them, allowing you to split or combine them in the way that best suits your needs.

Example:

The Vibe screen series features a patented bracket for desk attachment that makes it easy to transform workstations or touchdown areas into project spaces, and vice versa.

Multi-Functional Solutions – Pieces that Fit in Many Places

Today, it’s more important than ever to think both efficiently and long-term when it comes to interior design. By investing in furniture that serves more than one purpose, you create the conditions for optimising space. You also extend the lifecycle of your interior solution, as it becomes easier to adapt it as new needs arise.

Example:

Fields can be used as a seating area in a lounge or touchdown space, but by choosing high backs, it can also be used to create ‘rooms within rooms’. This is an effective way to create meeting spaces in open-plan areas. With accessories like a monitor holder or noticeboard, Fields can support everything from focused individual work to creative collaboration.

Example:

Personal storage lockers at the office naturally serves as a meeting point. By incorporating seating into the storage solution, you create even more opportunities for spontaneous meetings. This can be strategically used to break down barriers between departments that need to collaborate more.

Example:

The Vibe screen series has a wide range of uses, thanks to its different mounting options. In addition to minimising distractions and improving the acoustic environment, a ceiling-hung or freestanding version can also be used to create ‘rooms within rooms’.
