After the past few years of separation and remote work, more companies have decided to gather their employees all in one office space again. However, these spaces now face a challenge that will alter the way we think of the workplace forever - cramped cubicles, crowded common spaces, and squeaky office chairs are quickly becoming distant memories as companies seek ways to bring the comforts of home to their workspaces. As much as workers need to have one-on-one interaction and collaboration, they also need privacy within that definition.
Studio TK, fueled by creativity and innovation, is at the forefront of accommodating users in overcoming this challenge and meeting it head-on. Libelle, Dutch for “Dragonfly,” is a functional, whimsical collection of seating options, including a pouf, a low-back lounge chair, and an innovative lounge chair with privacy features. Designed for Studio TK by Khodi Feiz, Libelle aims to deliver a personal escape while flexibly accommodating small collaborative interactions.
The Libelle lounge with a privacy back incorporates a transparent 3D knit mesh to offer solitude for both personal escapes and small impromptu meetings. The knit mesh delivers visual privacy without obstructing the workplace landscape. Its transparency allows the user to let it be known to others that the space is occupied and avoid a surprising interaction when multiple colleagues are vying for its vacancy. An elegant pouf and a comfortable low-back lounge chair accompany the innovative lounge. An optional tablet arm is a versatile addition that enhances functionality and can be installed after it’s placed, on either the left or right side.
The impact of color on users' mood and productivity is not lost on Studio TK, either. The knit mesh has 12 finishes to choose from that bring a pop of color to any office space. Further customization includes 85 textile options for the upholstery, 16 powder coat finishes for the base, and 11 veneer and laminate options for the tablet surface. The extensive personalization and laid back but sophisticated style of Libelle is perfect for today’s evolving office scene, combining functionality and a home-like comfort in a flexible work environment.
