BASIC S. STORAGE SPACE FOR CHANGE.
Storage space takes on a new meaning for working worlds which are geared to the future. In modern working structures, central libraries, mail distribution compartments, cloakroom elements and lockers are important building blocks for non-territorial working environments. When combined with integrated seating, they become the central contact point in everyday office life.
In our new catalogue we would like to show you how the furniture of our "basic S" product range can be integrated into the most diverse office scenarios. We are sure that with our products you too will find the perfect solution for your Office.

PLAMBECK IN NORDERSTEDT. HOUSING COMPANY SETS ACCENTS.
Plambeck, a Norderstedt housing company in the north of Germany, was looking for a redesign of its offices in a building dating back to the seventies. Divided into cubicle offices typical of that time, the floor plan was ideal for working in an open space. Dashes of bright yellow and blue add a bold twist to the office floor concept created by the Gärtner furniture store in Hamburg.

PARKOUR. CUPBOARD BOOTHS FOR MODERN WORKING ENVIRONMENTS.
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.

LOCKERS. THE NEW CUPBOARD PROGRAM WITH PERSONAL LOCKERS.
Lockable storage spaces – whether these be locker cupboards, clothes cupboards or lockers – play an increasingly important role in open-plan office worlds. The more flexibly we work, the more important it becomes to have places where we can keep our personal things safe. Personal post, sports clothes, a change of shoes, or shopping from the lunch break can all be optimally stored and safely locked away in our lockers.
What do you want your locker cupboard to look like? Choose fronts, functions and divisions to create your own unique unit. Coloured doors, imprinted numbers or custom images give a truly individual look.

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. The 'K-Module' range from 'werner works' makes it easy for people to talk to each other. 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.
