Haworth Orgatec booth creates exemplary Organic Workspace

Today’s workspaces not only have to support business objectives but also take human requirements, performance demands and intra-company culture differences into account. Haworth has designed its Orgatec 2010 booth as an exemplary Organic Workspace to demonstrate how intelligently designed workspaces can fulfil these requirements.

Orgatec 2010: Spotlight on MeetYou partitioning

Another Orgatec premiere at the Haworth booth. As places where people meet and communicate, discussion and meeting areas in offices have to fulfil two key criteria: communication has to be a pleasant experience, and the meeting place must be appealing, comfortable and, to a certain extent, cosy. The German designer of MeetYou, Michael Schmidt, was motivated by the desire to create self-supporting partitions and coherent, flowing landscapes with decent acoustics, a maximum of wall surface fabric and minimal visible supports. The result is an innovative solution with convincing acoustic and design qualities.

Orgatec 2010: Spotlight on T_up desk system

As office technology increasingly frees office workers to be more mobile, the time they spend at a fixed workplace is declining. Office environments need to be adaptable to support different work styles, sustainable to comply with stricter legislation and growing ecological awareness, and cost-efficient as rents rise in most locations. T_up is a comprehensive and cost-effective desking system that provides answers to these differing demands. Its intelligent platform design provides for easy assembly into numerous configurations and its storage options transform a simple desk into an efficient and integrated workspace.

One outcome of this shared belief is LTB Lounge, a brand-new product range that can further creative collaboration processes through new work settings and postures.

Orgatec 2010: Spotlight on Vados storage

The name says it all: “vado” is Latin for go, change, transform or adapt, the “s” stands for storage. In today’s business environment a cabinet range has to be capable of accommodating change and transformation, so adaptability is a key factor. Vados, Haworth’s brand-new cabinet range on view for the first time at Orgatec 2010, meets all these requirements – the ideal storage solution.
