Kivo®, Herman Miller

As traditional office partitions fade from our workplace design vocabulary, acoustic dividers are taking on innovative new forms and textures. Designed by Alexander Lorenz, Kivo® is a space divider composed of a series of reconfigurable magnetic tiles connected to a lightweight steel skeleton. Based on an innovative mathematical formula, Kivo® engenders infinite spatial permutations, a flexible approach driven by the nature of ever evolving workplaces.

Hexagon by Shaw Contract Group

Inspired by the cultural shift toward more collaborative environments, Hexagon is a colour tile available in a range of styles and colours offering dynamic patterning options. “The new Hexagon collection is nonlinear in composition and reinforces the social aspect of space,” explains Shaw Contract Group General Manager, Paul McCosker. “Repetitive forms always remain a cornerstone of good architecture and design and at Shaw we feel the geometry of the hexagon is perfection.”

Designed to change the way people move through space, the tiles develop socially attractive pockets to facilitate networking and collaboration. “We often see our customers create angular, organic seating areas or workspaces now the hexagon allows for a similar system to be implemented on the floor,” Corker continues.
