Redefining Co-Working Spaces: The Microlab & Julia Swanenberg Project at Microstad
The latest project by Microlab and Julia Swanenberg has transformed Microstad‘s co-working space into a vibrant hub of creativity and collaboration. This redesign showcases how bold design choices and innovative furniture can create an inspiring environment that fosters community and connection.
A Vision of Creativity and Contrast
Microstad’s mission is to build a thriving, inclusive community where innovation and collaboration are central. The redesigned co-working space reflects this vision by embracing contrasts and rough edges to stimulate creativity and interaction. Puik Design’s playful and bold furniture pieces were selected to enhance this dynamic environment.
Project Highlights:
1. Infusing Color and Innovation
-
Meeting Room: The meeting room features the Chester Central Large sofa by Lex Pott in a striking blue hue. This space is adorned with vibrant accents, including an orange wall, a pink wall, and a mix of colorful side tables and pillows, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere.
-
Small Room: The Pi Chair with Armchair by Richard Hutten adds a touch of sophistication with its dark blue fabric and black steel legs. This piece is complemented by an orange and blue wall and a wooden desk, blending functionality with bold aesthetics.
2. Creating a Dynamic Co-Working Environment
-
Co-Working Area: This area is a lively mix of textures and colors. The Pi Lounge with Armchair, designed by Richard Hutten in terracotta, is paired with the Large Hinge by Lex Pott in red and a blue velvet sofa. The space includes a kitchen, dining area, and playful zones, all set against a clean white backdrop.
-
Option Lounge Chair: Adding to the co-working area’s eclectic mix, the Option Lounge Chair by Frederik Roijé features a dark blue fabric with black steel legs. This chair, with its square backrest and seat, complements the room’s modern and vibrant design.
Puik Design’s Role
Julia Swanenberg notes, “Microstad thrives on contrasts and rough edges, creating a uniquely creative environment. Puik’s playful designs, bold colors, and innovative forms immediately stood out. The designs of Puik perfectly match our vision, seamlessly integrating with and enhancing our creative spaces.”
Puik Design’s furniture, including the Chester Central sofa, Pi Chair, and Option Lounge Chair, has been instrumental in shaping the distinctive character of Microstad’s co-working space. Each piece not only complements the design but also contributes to the space’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.
