in the outdoor space Meet&Work Systeem on a public terrace Head Office Nordea Bank Today, the New World of Work is transforming the workplace like never before. With technology offering so many new possibilities, people are able to increasingly determine when and where they work, choosing to work from home, en route, on location or through any number of flex combinations. Higher workplace flexibility is leading to higher levels of job satisfaction. Offices are increasingly serving as meeting points that incorporate new, creative flex-work stations for employees. Today’s workplace interiors range from those with a colourful funfactor to those with a clean-lined designer feel. Other trends include making outdoor space an extension of the interior. It’s all meant to create a more stimulating working environment. The tendency towards more stimulating public spaces first started on school and university campuses where areas were created where students could come together for group work, quiet study or in their free time. Now, whether on campus or in the office, work spaces are no longer limited to indoor areas, and outdoor areas are often used whenever weather permits. All you need is a comfortable spot and a Wi-Fi or 4G connection. In response to the trend for fluid indoor-outdoor interiors, Streetlife offers a line of tables with a stylish urban-outdoor feel, a minimalist design and refined details. The harmonious outdoor look is achieved through the use of FSC® 100% hardwood, which combined with aluminium creates an accessible look that’s also both modern and durable. While part of the Collection has been designed for outdoor spaces such as ground or roof terraces, Meet&Work has been specially designed for indoor use as well. The unique Meet&Work System includes tree planters that allow you to create a green working environment. The X-table fits perfectly into a rustic setting, while the Solid Picnic Set compliments a stylish clean-lined look.
