Xchange Design’s new XV platform takes on the complexity of the modern workplace.
May 20th, 2014
Xchange Design is a global design community with partners in Europe, USA, Asia and Australia. The company’s founders, Daniel Korb and Anthony Kotarac – both architects – believe that “furniture is architecture on a different scale”, and it’s this thinking that has shaped Xchange Design’s approach to furniture design, resulting in solutions that seamlessly fuse utility and beauty.
One great example is the new XV system. With minimal components offering multiple configurations, XV provides all the elements needed to equip an entire office, from individual workstations and team environments to the reception and boardroom.
XV’s crisp, architectural lines gives the office a consistent look, while the simple, multipurpose elements provide efficient and functional solutions for complex configuration needs in today’s workspaces. The flexibility of the system makes it possible to modify even the simplest configuration, integrating them with straight or shared desktops using an efficient system involving shared structural components, with no hardware visible to the eye or touch.
