ORGATEC 2024. Creating playing fields.
Orgatec 2024 in Cologne was a complete success for werner works. Visitors were impressed by both the stand design and the product news.
Adopting the theme: “Designing Tomorrow’s Office Landscapes”, architectural company Kinzo has developed a concept for werner works, drawing inspiration from natural landscapes. The furniture and bold colour scheme combine to create abstract topographies, while the floating air frames add a vertical dimension to the space.
The furniture from werner works is designed with an awareness of zoning, modularity and multi-functionality. In line with the event’s theme, werner works is introducing two ground-breaking products at the trade show: HOCKEY and LAYOUT, developed in collaboration with Berlin-based architectural firm Kinzo.

BASIC C. RECEPTION DESK WITH MOTORIZED TABLE.
The reception counter is the business card of every company. It is a meeting point and the place that makes a first impression. This is where people come together for the first time. Here, guests are welcomed, phone calls made and meetings arranged. Few other workplaces are so much in the public eye. The demands placed on office furniture for the reception area are correspondingly high. In addition, the reception desk should also meet all the criteria of a functional work table. This is why we have added motorized height-adjustable tables to our 'basic C' product line. The T-leg frames of the tables offer legroom on the one hand and provide the necessary stability by being attached to the sides on the other.

BRUNO. THE MOBILE OFFICE_ASSISTANT.
Contemporary work models offer staff the option to choose their own work environment. Work no longer happens only at your own desk, but at various locations – depending on the activity and the most appropriate place for it. To facilitate this agile mode of working, it makes sense to have the necessary work utensils and personal belongings close to hand, regardless of the work station location. With this in mind, Kinzo and werner works have developed the BRUNO locker bag: a mobile office-assistant for your keyboard, laptop, headset and office accessories, with plenty space for personal belongings.

MOL-CAMPUS, BUDAPEST. IMPRESSIVE. GREEN. FUTURE-ORIENTED.
These three terms can only be used to roughly describe the new headquarters of the MOL Group in Budapest, because they are still far from enough to understand the entire scope of the project. The 28-story building, planned by star architects Foster + Partners, is now the tallest building in Hungary. The aim of the project was to set new standards for sustainable construction in the middle of the vibrant metropolis of Budapest. With the long-term strategy “2030+”, the MOL Group has set itself the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The construction of the new headquarters is an essential building block on this path.

ORGANIC BOARD. WERNER WORKS PRODUCTION FOCUSES ON SUSTAINABILITY.
We are soon one of the first German office furniture manufacturers to use “Organic Board”. We are moving forward in the topic of sustainable materials and are now producing our furniture with chipboard bonded to biogenic glue (OrganicGlue).
OrganicGlue is made from biogenic raw materials, which contributes significantly to better sustainability and saves up to 20 m³ of natural gas per 1 m³ of chipboard. With sustainable wood chipboard, the use of fossil resources in production can be reduced by over 30%. The sustainable material is currently one of the first solutions in this area.
By 2025, the panels should consist of up to 50% recycled material.
