Explore Toko, designed by Carl Gustav Magnusson for Nienkämper: A collection of self-supporting structures designed to create unique acoustical spatial environments within open spaces. With a seemingly endless variety of configurations, Toko allows you to configure distinct acoustical environments for a variety of uses based on the needs and activities of the modern workplace. Whether it’s a place to collaborate or concentrate, to meet or to eat, Toko allows for the creation of beautiful and functional workspaces.
Toko’s freestanding design enables relocation or reconfiguration as well as independence from traditional building architecture, without incurring the costs associated with conventional drywall construction. Highly customizable, it is perfect for meeting the needs of ever evolving workplaces.
Toko’s wall structure provides excellent visual and acoustic separation, available in a range of different combinations of materials: wood veneer, engineered wood, wool felt panels and Flexible Wood: wood and engineered wood made flexible with a patented incision process developed by Switzerland-based Dukta, in partnership with Spinneybeck.
Complex incisions offer textile-like properties, transparency and sound absorption unexpected from most wood products. Acoustic panels stretched overhead provide additional sound absorption while still allowing light in, making Toko an ideal solution for video conferencing hubs.
Toko is offered with integrated power and can accommodate meeting tables and seating areas alike. Built in credenza storage with optional refrigeration is available, as well as wall mounts for monitors, whiteboards or other shelving. With no electricity constraints or floor-to-ceiling partitions, Toko is purposeful modular architecture that offers companies an affordable, sustainable and flexible alternative to fixed construction and traditional office design. Toko is designed to create unique, semi-secluded areas within open spaces.
Toko will be shown at NeoCon in unfinished natural walnut frame with Linar Flexible Wood in MDF.
