mode:lina were keenly aware of what individuals expect from cowork spaces, creating the floorplan in such a way to both encourage collaboration and communication whilst also respecting people's need for privacy and concentration.
The workspace is roughly divided into two parts – one for focused work, and the other for less formal meetings, "conversations over coffee”. There are 16 individual desks for focused work, four conference rooms, and a range of workspaces in the common area for less focused work. There is also an area for informal socialisation and communication around a kitchenette. Five soundproofed and air-conditioned telephone booths are included for individuals to take calls and participate in remote video calls and meetings.
The interior is visually striking, with bold, blocky colour choices, minimalist use of furniture, and strong lines. The concept combines modern, industrial design, with Scandinavian elements. Intuitive, ergonomic layout of rooms, lighting adapted to work, adjustable armchairs and, finally, numerous cabinets for personal belongings.
mode:lina worked closely with Flokk when selecting the optimal desk seating, choosing a combination of chairs suited to the needs of individuals. Workstations for extended use were paired with Accis Pro chairs, whilst the higher desks in the informal collaboration areas were paired with Mickey stools – playful and energetic balance stools offering a healthy and comfortable experience in smaller doses.
HÅG Capisco chairs were paired with the higher desks in the focus room, complete with a higher gas lift and footring to accommodate people of all sizes comfortably.
mode:lina were able to choose from a range of colours and fabrics to create a set of chairs that perfectly matched the interior theme of the workspace, helping to add to the overall atmosphere.
