To wrap up our special series on corporate trends from Workplace 3.0 at Salone del Mobile 2023, we highlight the importance of the employee as the center of the entire workplace. Well-being is the key word!
Ergonomic solutions, comfort and acoustic design, multifunctional furniture and soft colors, natural-material details and biophilia were all present, in increasingly appealing forms.
A highlight was the SnowPouf, by designer Paola Navone for the brand Caimi, upholstered in Snowsound Fiber, a patented sound-absorbing fabric, combining aesthetics and design. (featured photo 1)
Meanwhile, Slalom, a specialist in acoustic panels and systems, put forward a selection of products that work as an integral part of the decor, with fabrics ranging from velvet to recycled material and bold colors, always with an eye on the decorative effect.
Belgian brand Bulo presented a desk with an organic design and electric height adjustment for different uses and functions.
For La Palma comfort lies in the small details. The Seela chair combines a polypropylene frame with a wooden seat that can be swapped for another. "The idea was for users to enjoy the pleasant feel of a natural material when they sit down, without eliminating the polypropylene, which works very well for the frame."
Furniture maker Arper presented a new edition of its Aava chair: both the wood and the recyclable plastic models can take a padded fabric seat that is easy to remove and easy to clean.
In the furniture, we noticed a trend toward soft colors, which help create a calm environment.
Greenery appeared at many of the stands, confirming what studies on biophilia say about the benefits of natural elements: better concentration, better mental health and higher productivity.
Plants are built into modular furniture, as proposed by Fantoni, decorate lounge and relaxation areas, as La Palma suggested, and blend into shelving decor, as at True Design.
We hope you enjoyed this series on topics that matter to corporate architecture and construction!
