Rheda-Wiedenbrück, 21 October 2024. The evolution of the office is self-evident: It demands agile furniture concepts and hybrid workspace zones. In the increasingly digital (working) world, with non-territorial workplaces in some cases, homely and adaptable solutions are needed. And where could future collaboration be better achieved than on comfortable seating furniture? As a family-run company, COR recognised this long ago and has transferred its expertise from the home upholstery sector to the workspace domain.
Soft, comfortable, flexible: Jalis Flow
Design: Jehs+Laub
With Jalis Flow, the premium brand has succeeded in introducing the archetypal design of the kinked cushion into the Contract sector. "The inviting experience of sitting on a cushion should not be withheld from the public," is how the Stuttgart designer duo Jehs+Laub describe their design for COR, adding: "Jalis Flow is a further development of the modular Jalis sofa, which already works successfully in the home environment." However, Jalis Flow has a smaller seat depth of 59 cm, making it perfect for flexible use in large, open spaces. S- or C-shaped configurations are possible, as are endless, winding lines or nests for secluded withdrawal. The back height of each seating element can be varied: with no back at all, or with a low or high backrest. Both fixed and height-adjustable side tables and power connections are available as options. "Jalis Flow combines fundamental contemporary requirements: softness and cosiness in the Contract sector created by the archetypal cushion shape, coupled with a high degree of flexibility of the individual seating elements, which can be rearranged at any time," explains Leo Lübke, Managing Partner of COR, in summary.
Floater system: unpretentious charm and fine details
Design: Pauline Deltour
Floater is a true team player in both the office and the home office. Originally launched as a sofa system, the collection has since been expanded to include desks and panels that allow for configuration as work lounges. A U-panel is now also available, with a frame, on glides, castors or legs, which can be used, for example, as a privacy screen for the printer or as storage space in the office. With additional modules such as clothes rails and shelves, it can easily be transformed into a cloakroom or a private coffee bar. Another panel, in an L-shape and also available on castors, glides or feet, can be placed anywhere in the room. Or it can just as easily be docked onto tables, creating a private space for concentrated work in no time at all.
