NEW THINKING FOR CUPBOARD INTERIORS
The primary function of the office cupboard interior is to store files or office supplies, or maybe also to place things or hang coats. Particularly with respect to the changing conditions of a new working world, however, this space offers potential that has not yet been tapped.
In collaboration with the Berlin-based design studio Kinzo, werner works developed ‘parkour’, a new furniture range that reinterprets the cabinet interior. Cupboard booths with different furnishings provide an area for concentrated work, for quiet conversations on the phone or with another member of staff, for a short coffee break for two, a relaxing lounge or a spontaneous meeting zone for project work.

BASIC TOP. MULTIFUNCTIONAL CUPBOARD ADD-ON UNITS
Sideboards are often used in open-plan offices to define work areas. The ‘Kinzo' from Berlin design office has developed add-on units on behalf of werner works especially for this type of use. The units not only give structure to the room but are also acoustically effective. With dimensions matched to our standard cupboards ‘basic S' and 'basic cap', the add-on units are set on top of two-file-high cupboards without the use of tools. In addition to the pinboards, the range also offers plant containers for adding greenery to office areas.

They are now located in the Berliner Bogen, an internationally acclaimed glass and steel office building with state-of-the-art working conditions.

K-MODULE SIT, STAND, WORK AND MEET. NEW COMMUNICATIONS MODULES.
One of the aims of modern office worlds is to provide staff, in many different ways, with space to interact. Innovations come into being, first and foremost, when communications flow.

Our 'K-Modules' are communication furnishings for spontaneous encounters, meetings arranged at short notice, or the informal exchange of ideas. The communications modules are available as the 'K-Module Stand' version, which serves as a high table for stand-up meetings, and the 'K-Module Sit' version for sit-down communications.
The 'K-Module Work and Meet' workplace modules round off the range of tables.

THE NEW 'CONTAINER'. PEDESTALS, CADDIES, VERSATILE TOWERS
Containers in the office establish order; they extend the working space of the desk and store everything that we like to have close to hand, from files to handbags. And that is not all. Nicely upholstered, our office containers become mobile seats. Containers can serve as a standing desk, workplace to go, or mobile catering unit. And they can be used as room dividers to separate workstations and give structure to office areas.
The new container range from werner works is subdivided into three categories: Pedestals, caddies and versatile towers. They all have one thing in common: The design is clear and pared-down. Their modest forms allow them to blend into any interior setting.
