Is the former work environment still suitable? What does the office now have to offer? In response to these questions, Vitra developed the ‘Club Office’.

Communal Work In the last year, many companies and teams have found each other again, but the way we collaborate has permanently changed. In a new, often hybrid world of work in which finding and retaining staff is a challenge for most companies, strong team cohesion can be the answer. The spaces in which we interact can be designed to create environments that foster interpersonal exchange and collaboration and bring corporate culture to life. I. The communal workspace As companies and their teams are now working in a hybrid set-up, certain questions have to be addressed: Who is coming back to the office? What for? Is the former work environment still suitable? What does the office now have to offer? In response to these questions, Vitra developed the ‘Club Office’. While most members of the Club float naturally from one part of the Club to the next and shift from one working mode to another, some are closely tied to their team and its physical neighbourhood in an office. The communal table is central to this type of work. It provides a platform where individuals can work closely together and act in unison, exchange best practices, break bread and connect at an informal level.
