Making room for people
“Making room for people” is a workplace built around the people who use it. Comfort, acoustics, colour and material are treated as one connected system, across a series of settings designed for how people focus, meet, relax and recuperate. The installation concept was developed by design studio Hunting & Narud and features furniture from across Flokk’s brands.
“With Making Room for People, we wanted to highlight how good design starts with people. Across Flokk’s products, there is a real focus on what people need to feel comfortable, supported and able to thrive throughout the working day. This showcase brings some of those ideas to the foreground and looks at how the design of products, together with considered materials, curated colour combinations, comfort and sound, can help create better workplaces.” - Hunting & Narud
