It’s all over for another year – here are a few of our favourite things from Orgatec 2016.
Arper
Parentesit Freestanding
Designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2016
With its colourful stand titled ‘Visions of Work’, Arper continues to play its part in the debate around workplace evolution with the ‘Soft Contract’ concept. It favours high-design, beauty and the flexibility to adapt to different settings. The extension to the Parentesit range with freestanding screens give the option of dividing a room in half, or partitioning off a space for quiet, independent thought.

Engelbrechts
Poise
Designed by Anders Hermansen
Ultimate flexibility at an architectural scale. Poise is a modular shelving system based on T-shaped elements that can be stacked, fixed and disassembled with just an allen key. Since it’s self-supporting, there’s no need to drill holes in the wall or floor – which also means you can reconfigure it or move it at any time.

Haworth

Developed with Patricia Urquiola, Haworth’s stand has a ‘Spaces/Places’ theme and explores how to entice a mobile workforce back to the office with a sense of community, atmosphere, choice, and inter-connectivity. Her new Be-Hold storage system is presented as something that could bring a sense of individual personality with an expansive finishes palette, fabric-wrapped backs, perforated metal, wood tops, open shelving, lockers, and sliding cabinets.
Normann Copenhagen
Amp Chandelier
Designed by Simon Legald
The Amp lighting collection now includes a dramatic and impressive chandelier made with combination of solid marble and glass. The chandelier is built up around a central steel cylinder, from which small arms grow out to form a voluminous oval shape. Each arm is crowned by a miniature version of the Amp table lamp.

Vitra
Cyl
Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
Warm and woody, Cyl is presented as the antithesis of the cold, technical office environment. By focusing on tradition, it aims to generate a sense of peace and energy. It’s a graphic collection with broad surfaces paired with cylindrical shapes and frames. It’s a pleasant surprise to see such an investment in solid wood for the office environment.

Walter Knoll
Foster 512
Designed by Foster + Partners
Walter Knoll’s presentation places emphasis on the significance of place, and how furniture can play a major role in our performance at work. The quality of our environment influences the quality of our work. The Foster 512 upholstered bench system redesigns modernity. It offers the clarity of clear-cut straight lines that can dominate in a single piece, or be combined to create landscapes.
