The key to creative thinking: the work environment

"The working environment has a significant influence on our thinking and creativity," says Georg Frech, Head of the Academy. The sturdy yet lightweight CUBIX.A wooden boxes made of untreated maritime pine plywood can be arranged into a variety of office furniture to create new working scenarios. Modules in different sizes from XS to XL offer maximum flexibility and creativity.

CUBIX.A can be combined without tools and can be adapted to changing needs and work situations. Clamping modules can be used to create ascending rows of seating or platform landscapes for lectures or presentations. Users can quickly move and rearrange the modules using castors. When CUBIX.A is used as a bench or platform, matching upholstered elements ensure optimum seating comfort. An optional whiteboard panel transforms the wooden boxes into a mobile presentation wall or table combination in no time at all.

Sustainable furnishing solution for various purposes 

CUBIX.A is not only a sustainable solution thanks to its renewable raw material and versatile use. Thanks to their long service life and the fact that they can be returned to the recycling cycle, they are also a conscious choice for certified work places.

Create agile working environments with CUBIX.A boxes:

• Communication areas: benches, podiums or stands
• Meeting areas: seating and tables
• Agile project zones: as seating with castors or flexible work tables
• Workshop and workshop areas: as large convertible tables or for storage
• Bistros and reception areas: as counters, seating or room dividers
• Home office: as a flexible desk and shelving system

"It is becoming increasingly important for companies to attract top quality specialists and the right talent and to offer them an attractive working environment," says Georg Frech. "With flexible furnishing solutions such as CUBIX.A, you can create an inspiring working environment that not only supports digital transformation processes."

Designed for meeting and conference rooms, home office or dining room, the shell chair K+N NOOK.SHELL gives a homely atmosphere to all room scenarios.

With its organic lines, it blends harmoniously into its surroundings. In addition to three upholstery variants of the seat shell in white or black, five frame variants such as elegant four-legged frame, as cantilever, 4-legged frame, counter or base with castors incl. height adjustment allow a variety of individual configurations. The elastic seat shell offers a comfortable seating feeling even during longer meetings. In addition, K+N NOOK.SHELL is made of 44.5% recycled plastic, which can be returned to the material cycle thanks to its ability to be separated by type.

Optionally, the shell chair can be equipped with a rocking mechanism and gas lift height adjustment, making work more comfortable and flexible - in the home office as well as in informal meeting areas.

Forms of collaboration are changing with the rapid changes in the world of work. Video conferencing is now an integral part of working life in three-quarters of organisations. However, they are often perceived as unproductive. With QUIET.BOX Live, office furniture manufacturer König + Neurath presents a possible solution. 

Homogeneous ambient lighting, indirect accent lighting and switchable front lighting: what reads like an instruction manual for a car is one of the recipes for success of the new room-in-room solution from König + Neurath. The family-owned company offers its customers not only desks, chairs and storage solutions, but also innovative room systems. Now it is introducing a variant that can improve video meetings - not in terms of content, but in terms of form and function. By presenting people in the best possible light and with the best possible sound. 

How the environment also improves the quality of video conferencing content  

"Video conferencing offers our partners, like many companies, the opportunity to bring their teams together for coordination, updates or project work without incurring travel costs or requiring everyone to be in the office at the same time. However, the sticking point for the organisation so far has been that individuals often block entire meeting rooms or join the video call directly at their workstation, which in turn disturbs others," says Peter Heimann, Head of Sales Room Systems at König + Neurath, describing two of the most common problems. "As the light and sound quality is usually suboptimal, content and subtleties are lost on the transmission path," he adds. "If you're sitting quietly in a well-ventilated room with no disturbing noises, in the best light and with the best sound, you'll be more focused yourself and will be perceived clearly by those on the call. That's half the battle.

Advantages of the QUIET.BOX Live for architects and interior designers

The new video box from König + Neurath not only offers users a range of advantages, but also benefits interior designers and planners. For example, the selective use of the QUIET.BOX Live opens up new possibilities for structuring spaces: In open office landscapes, they can be placed flexibly without interfering with the building structure and can be adapted to the existing furniture in terms of style and color. They increase flexibility by allowing them to be grouped with the QUIET.BOX Duo and QUIET.BOX Duo XL to create self-sufficient retreat areas of different sizes. "We have hit a nerve with the QUIET.BOX Live and have already sold more than a dozen units before the official market launch," says a delighted Peter Heimann from König + Neurath.
