At the BRYCK innovation and start up centre in the historic Colosseum Theatre in Essen, a place is taking shape where the future is not only imagined but truly lived. Young companies, research institutions and industry partners come together here to jointly develop solutions for the energy transition and industrial transformation. The spatial concept provides the ideal framework, encouraging exchange, creativity and fresh perspectives.
The atmosphere is defined by the interplay of historic industrial architecture and contemporary furnishings, realised by our specialist partner citizenoffice Düsseldorf. Generous open areas, exposed structures and robust materials meet clearly defined functional zones, creating a working environment that inspires while also offering clear orientation.
In the shared areas, 'lockers' and 'basic S' cabinets from werner works ensure order and secure storage. The furniture does more than simply provide space for personal belongings. It supports flexible usage concepts and, with its reduced design language and high quality craftsmanship, blends seamlessly into the industrial architecture of the building while adding calm accents to the lively surroundings.
A special highlight is the 'stepup' grandstand in the reception area. This futuristic seating landscape invites spontaneous conversations, short meetings or small presentations and clearly communicates what BRYCK stands for from the very first moment.
This project demonstrates how well conceived furnishing solutions enrich modern working environments and create spaces in which collaboration, exchange and the future come naturally.
