Cosi Laptop Table by Teknion

In an era of flexible work, your laptop should be able to go wherever you are, no matter the task at hand. Teknion’s Cosi Laptop Table, designed by longtime collaborators Pearson Lloyd, was conceived to do just that. The fully adjustable laptop table brings ergonomic efficiency to any workspace, whether pulled up to a task chair for focused work or lounge seating for a more laid-back setup. Lightweight and portable, the design features a tapered shape that nests seamlessly between the arms of a chair, and a base that tucks neatly under chair bases.

The tabletop (offered in solid and wood texture laminates) can be intuitively adjusted using the two sliding levers beneath it, encased in a contoured shell that ensures user comfort even when the table is lowered. In this way, Cosi can be adjusted to accommodate any work arrangement, seated or standing, and set to the perfect angle for typing or optimal visibility for video calls. A subtle front lip keeps laptops secure, while the rear bar acts as a mobile phone rest that supports charging, ensuring your tech tools are always at the ready. True to Pearson Lloyd’s eco-conscious ethos, the table also ships flat-packed, significantly reducing its carbon emissions.

Evo Chair by Allsteel

With a new quilted knit back made from SEAQUAL upcycled marine litter, Allsteel has giving its best-selling Evo seating series a sustainable upgrade. Designed in collaboration with Camira Fabrics, the new engineered knit backrest is woven directly to size, eliminating scrap, glue and sewing for a zero-waste manufacturing process. The tailored design is not just visually striking but also boasts pillow-like comfort thanks to its quilted infill structure that contours to the user’s natural back shape, flexing and shifting in response to motion. The T-pattern’s purpose is twofold, offering inherent lumbar support without additional poly components.

The new back complements the chair’s existing ergonomic features, which include weight activated control for responsive tension, dual density foam that instantly supports a range of user types and 4D Arms that supplement movement and posture variation. Evo is carbon neutral certified thanks to VCS carbon offsets, and thanks to its adhesive-free application, the entire product can be disassembled and recycled at end of life. The collection expansion also saw the introduction of a new painted aluminum finish, with 40 available colour options for the fixed aluminum arms and bases — from vibrant mustard yellow to moody oxblood red — that lend the chair an expressive personality.

Office Spaces by Global Furniture Group

As hot-desking takes over the corporate world, having a dedicated workstation has never been more of a luxury — and Global’s Office Spaces collection of adaptable desking products makes for the perfect solution for the modern workspace. With flexibility as its guiding design principle, the modular collection can be reconfigured or relocated as an organization’s needs change, and features height-adjustable surfaces to accommodate users of all heights, whether seated or standing (fixed height versions are also available).

Despite its compact footprint, the Office Spaces collection doesn’t sacrifice on functionality: media displays, whiteboards, and tackable PET Felt privacy and modesty panels can be added — plus storage elements like shelves, wardrobes, file drawers, box drawers and cubbies to help keep things organized. Highly ergonomic with large radius corners and environmentally friendly, the collection is GREENGUARD Gold and LEVEL 3 certified. And with a palette of neutral finishes and materials, it integrates into contemporary interiors with ease.

Civara Task Seating by KI

When you’re spending eight hours a day in your office chair, comfort is key. But ergonomics need not come at the expense of style. Case in point: the Civara task seating collection, designed by CLAUDIO BELLINI Studio for KI. Balancing timeless design with intuitive performance, Civara’s fluid form makes for a beautiful addition to modern workspaces. Most importantly, its ergonomic design (including adjustable seat depth and height, 4D arms, lumbar support and synchrotilt recline) can be customized to best support each user, ensuring healthy posture throughout the workday.

Civara is offered both as a chair, suited to executive offices and focused work zones, and a stool ideal for elevated workstations and labs. Available in a wide range of breathable mesh and plush upholstery options, plus three base and frame finishes, the collection is highly versatile. Optional extras like an adjustable headrest and designer casters engineered for smooth, quiet movement on hard and soft surfaces elevate this sophisticated seating collection.

Acoustic Divider Vario Partition Curtains by Carnegie

Despite all the benefits of open-plan offices in fostering a collaborative work culture, sometimes, you just need a quiet space to hunker down and get things done. These partition curtains, a collaboration between Carnegie and Swiss textile brand Création Baumann, offer the best of both worlds: When closed, they reduce noise levels, but quickly and effortlessly open up to offer clear sightlines when needed. Composed of three layers, the curtains feature two outer panels of acoustic fabric that sandwich an inner, sound absorbing layer that reduces decibels and dampens noise; the innovative synthetic rubber core was developed with the Department of Technology and Architecture at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

The curtains hang from a metal rail system with internal smooth-running castors that can be operated manually or motorized; the rail itself can be installed in straight or curved configurations and is offered in white, grey or black finishes. As for the curtains, they are available in a wide range of Carnegie colours and patterns, with tailored side seams and optional contrast piping, allowing them to fit into any interior — either adding a pop of vibrant colour or a neutral tone that fades into the background.
