Together beats cubicles
Sedus Stoll AG opens loft-style showroom in Vienna
Another showroom, you might think. And you’d be right. Only this time, Sedus Stoll AG is also selling it as one of many answers to the industry’s favorite question: how do we work today – and why come to the office at all?
The stage: a former gas meter factory. Brick, loft, 440 square meters. Exactly the kind of setting where modern workspaces now like to present themselves. Historic shell, new mindset inside.
At the center – of course – sits the Work Café. Not tucked away, but placed right in the middle. The se:café bar is meant to be more than a coffee machine. It’s a “social instrument.” Rough translation: if no one has to come in anymore, at least give them a reason to show up for the coffee. There are two bars, just to be safe. Or maybe the need for conversation is higher than expected.
The rest follows a familiar script. Lounge areas for those who don’t “work” but “connect.” Team zones for collaboration. An executive corner for focused work. And with se:hive, a few retreat spaces for anyone needing a moment of quiet. Open – but not too open. That’s the real balancing act.
