The past year has brought us to face a new normal in many ways. In these new circumstances, working with Teams and Zoom links the work days are not that spontaneous. We hope to get soon back to good face-to face meetings and spontaneous brainstorm sessions as people miss the office surroundings.
The interior and furniture solutions that surround us, play a major role in a working day experience. Good design can also inspire. Do you feel comfortable? Do you feel respected? Do you feel inspired? When sitting on an interesting and well-designed lounge chair, it might bring a smile on your face and a realization of that "this familiar need of sitting and relaxing can be interpreted this way”.
The design and details matter. A simple chair or a working desk can be designed - or not designed - in many ways. The actual feeling, that the end user has been in the mind of the designer throughout the process, is highly important. When resting your wrists at the table edge or having your USB cable at a really logical place are just small details, but those details are the things you miss when you don’t have them in place.
During 2020 shaded by the pandemic, ISKU has strongly focused on developing new solutions. MyFlow is our just launched novelty created in co-operation with designer Vertti Kivi. It is a furniture family that can be used to create unified look into any working environment. Energy, soft shapes and forms as the source of inspiration, MyFlow family brings joy to the working day. When we finally get back to the office, let’s do it with style and quality!
