Co-working spaces call for specialised co-working furniture. This furniture plays a key role in the success of shared work spaces.
It does this by supporting a good balance between communal and more private work spaces, along with comfortable, informal areas for socialising and networking.
The co-working model is overtaking traditional office space
The popularity of co-working has continued to grow over the past decade.
Now even the largest of companies are either using co-working spaces for remote employees or remodelling their own offices, to mirror the successes of these spaces.
The importance of co-working furniture
Co-working furniture includes a broader range of furniture types than is typically associated with office spaces. That’s because it has to help in creating different kinds of work areas within a larger, open space.
A typical shared workspace is an open-plan layout with a variety of furniture “hubs”.
A basic space, for example, might consist of a grouping of comfortable couches in one area, large desks and seating in another, more private spaces for meetings and an informal lounge, for well-deserved leisure time or a quick get-together.
Our co-working booths
Co-working booths make it easy to create private spaces in open-plan areas. They’re ideal for spaces where people need to concentrate on their work.
When placed face-to-face, two booths make the perfect space for a small team meeting or private discussion or interview.
Upholstery and design can be customised to suit our customers’ needs and existing office décor.

Co-working spaces aren’t just for start-ups and freelancers
Once seen as a trendy alternative to the traditional office, co-working spaces are becoming increasingly mainstream.
Reports published in 2019 predict that within the next three years, the number of shared workspaces will grow at an annual rate of 13% worldwide.
It’s predicted that 40% of flexible workspace demand is set to come from big corporations.
Encouraged by the proven benefits of co-working spaces, larger companies and corporations are also incorporating co-working features into their own office layouts.
From “pause” areas to sections with soft seating, co-working furniture arrangements can foster teamwork and creativity. They can also add to employee satisfaction and improve recruitment and retention rates.
