Linked, mobile, informal: The working environment

is in the midst of a radical transformation process.

As part of the New Work Order study for ophelis,

the Trendbüro consultancy in Hamburg has com-

piled the main trends that will influence tomorrow‘s

working world. This change in the working envi-

ronment is already noticeable and will continue to

increase, as it impacts all kinds of areas including

our forms of communication, leadership styles

and new working models adapted to the various

life stages.

“The current transition from an industrial to a net-

work economy requires nothing less from

businesses than a full reorganisation,” says Birgit

Gebhardt, trend expert.

ophelis has intensively examined this transforma-

tion process and sought for answers to the spatial

challenges by exploring new working structures.

One answer is ophelis docks. docks stands for

the new office generation. Designed as a modular

furniture system, it creates new zones in the office

which provide a common space for work, com-

munication and quiet contemplation and give the

working environment a more attractive design.

ophelis docks

makes wayfor the future

ophelis docks stands

for a new method

of attractive interior

design which provides

a common space for

working and living.

The system offers a

wide variety of options,

is freely configurable,

supports electrical con-nections and features

an integral product

approach due to its

self-contained design.

With docks ophelis

has reacted to the

transformation of the

classic office work

place into a multi-

functional communal

space which is used

flexibly by cross-

disciplinary teams.

„The quality and the

variety of this exchange

are the key to effective

work. We believe that

office furniture should

enable flexible, decen-

tralised communica-

tions. It should supportinformal office chats

just as much as spon-

taneous work meetings

in a small group,“ say

Till Grosch and Björn

Meier, designers.

ophelis docks is designed as a modular system

which can be combined in various ways to create

different office islands. It is communal furniture

which optimally supports teamwork and can also

be designed as a personal reference point in open

spaces. The modules can be put together in such

a way as to provide acoustic and visual privacy or

open-plan meeting areas.

Designers Till Grosch and Björn Meier believeophelis docks is the answer not only to the func-

tional but also the emotional changes which the

office is currently undergoing – increasingly, the

office is not just a place of work but also a living

environment. ophelis docks is designed to support

well-being in the office. docks is a modular system

which creates connections and transitions. docks

is a place for quiet contemplation as well as a

meeting point; it supports the office community

and provides space for individuals.

The single docks elements are designed to match

the dimensions of ophelis furniture ranges, so that

storage space and all the other components from

classic work station zones can be seamlessly con-

nected and integrated. Used as a transition and

connection element between various zones in the

office, ophelis docks allows for a change of scene,

produces synergy effects, promotes internal

communications and enhances the feeling of well-

being in the workplace.

Thanks to its modularity, ophelis docks offers a

great deal of scope for individual, customer-

specific designs. The basic form is a 90 cm x

90 cm square. ophelis docks can be integrated in

all spaces as an office island in a width dimension

of 15 centimetres with various options for a linear,

L-, T- or cross links design. The ophelis docks

portfolio covers a variety of upholstered modules

with or without screen, storage space and tables

in lounge, sitting or standing height, which can

be put together to create various scenes. The

„bricks“ system components also supply additional

benefits. Matching add-ons such as lights or side

tables, which are joined to the system using add-

on panels, finish off ophelis docks.

7docks in the workplace

Checking email,

phoning, discussing,

contemplating – a desk

is not necessarily requi-

red for these activities.

With the correspondingophelis docks modules,

separate areas for

inspiring work, for dis-

cussions or reading can

be connected directly

to the workplace.

Six basic upholstered modules form the basis for

all sitting configurations. A superior level of comfort

when seated, a selection of high-quality covering

materials and the variable arrangement offer

practically endless design options. “Bricks” are

an additional component that complete the systemand offer further benefits as an e-box for cabling

for plug-and-work, plant container, containers or

lap tables to ensure convenient working at lounge

level. Storage space and add-on panels complete

the system.

ophelis docks deliberately sets itself apart from

the classic desk-based office workplace due to its

unique style and materials. Its design and

dimensional compatibility also make it ideal for

combinations.

13Islands in the office

Office work is increasingly taking place in open

spaces or groups. There is a growing need

for communication within increasingly cross-

disciplinary teams. Creative teamwork, other ap-

proaches to work, space for quiet contemplation,

short discussions and promotion of informalcommunication are requirements which must be

met through modern spatial designs. With ophelis

docks it is possible to create islands in the office

which organise open spaces and can be used

variably. ophelis docks is a haven of peace, a place

for quiet contemplation, a meeting place and a

multi-media communications point all rolled into

one. The modules can be configured to create

various scenes. Sofas and single chairs complete

the system. Partitions provide visual and acoustic

privacy. At the same time, this protected space

provides enough room for relaxed discussions.

docks supports electrical connections – making it

a tucked away place to work, which can always be

equipped with the right technology.

With opposite facing

sofa elements, storage

space and integrated

lighting in add-on

panels, docks becomes
