In order to create bespoke solutions for various different areas of application, INTERSTUHL has undertaken a detailed analysis of today’s work processes.
Much more than a chair. German manufacturer Interstuhl shows that their expertise stretches far beyond creating the perfect office swivel chair. The future means thinking on a larger scale

×Interstuhl is in a state of change. In the past, the perfect swivel chair was what constituted the company's core competence. In the future, however, Interstuhl’s expertise will revolve around solutions for the entire workplace. Their clear goal is to create a working world that is not only intended for tomorrow's work, but also responds as closely as possible to the needs of tomorrow’s people.
A new way to work
In creating SPLACES, Interstuhl scrutinised, questioned and rearranged processes, workflows and everyday situations. Arriving and feeling welcome, concentrating and working in a focused way, discussing and promoting exchange, training and learning, deciding and leading, relaxing and recharging the batteries. Every activity in our daily work has a different dynamic and needs its place. It is not necessary however, to throw the past away completely or reinvent the wheel. SPLACES takes positive experiences, familiar processes and proven elements and reinterprets them – with today’s requirements in mind.
Flexibility is the order of the day. In the past, the ability to choose how and where one works was considered something of a luxury, but with SPLACES, this will become a normal expectation

×New perspectives
With its WELCOME, MEET, WORK, RELAX, LEARN and LEAD zones, SPLACES opens up new possibilities for creating interesting solutions for a wide variety of scenarios. Divided into these areas, the appropriate environments are created for all of today’s work situations and, above all, tomorrow’s. This approach is more than a simple zoning concept though, it’s an invitation to architects and planners to work together – whether it’s brainstorming ideas, developing a plan, or realising a concept – on making ‘open space’ ready for the challenges of New Work.
