The Tapa poufs and the Levitate furniture system are not associated with typical corporate interiors. Despite that, they became icons of this year’s office design. Last Sunday the German Design Council awarded Nowy Styl Group the Iconic Awards 2017 for these two products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nowy Styl’s Tapa poufs “Best of the Best” Iconic Award<\/h4>\n

The Tapa poufs belong to a small group of the “Best of Best” Iconic Award: Interior Innovation products. Designed by Przemys\u0142aw Mac Stopa, they are a creative solution for informal meeting zones and reception areas. They have been created according to the idea of modularity \u2013 one module consists of an “island” and movable poufs that rotate on a common pivot. The modules can be freely arranged and upholstered in different colours, which allows for creating unique furniture pieces in any interior.<\/p>\n

Covered with wool, Tapa warms up a company’s image and is an intriguing element that sparks a team’s creativity. The manufacturers of the new sofa have taken care it is made using a high quality upholstery fabric: the material, which is produced in New Zealand (Synergy, 95% wool), has undergone very demanding tests for abrasion resistance and is dyed using a special technology that ensures long-lasting colour.<\/p>\n

\u2013 My inspiration was my general love for creating elements of industrial design based on the mathematical analysis of modularity and geometric forms.<\/em> My intention was to design a modular sitting system, which would not look like a piece of office furniture at first sight, but rather an architectural model or a sculpture<\/em> \u2013 says Przemys\u0142aw Mac Stopa, designer.<\/p>\n

Nowy Styl’s Levitate furniture system recieves Selection Mention<\/h4>\n

The furniture system Levitate was awarded the Iconic Award: Interior Innovation \u2013 Selection mention.<\/p>\n

Nowy Styl Group’s latest furniture system, designed by the Gernot Oberfell studio, allows employees in an office to feel as if they are at home. At the same time, it is fully functional and ensures effective space arrangement. Wood is the leading element of the system’s design. Freestanding desks, workbenches and high tables for holding quick meetings are characterised by an eye-catching A-shaped leg, which makes them look stable and light.<\/p>\n

Desks are equipped with an unusual pedestal with a rounded bottom edge, which is suspended below the desktop. A sliding top with a hidden drawer and a secretary box attached ensures the system is fully functional. The Levitate system creates a home-like atmosphere by offering a wide choice of colours and finishes.<\/p>\n

Panels are upholstered with natural woollen fabrics, and the interesting melamine palette offers a wide range of possibilities in creating individual arrangements, which are not always typically office-like. Levitate is suitable for arranging not only small, cosy and home-like offices, but also big office spaces based on the open space concept with all the necessary work zones.<\/p>\n

Home office design?<\/h4>\n

\u2013 There is an artificial border between office and home products. We believe that some of them can be successfully applied to both spaces and should be adjusted to the user, not to the interior <\/em>\u2013 claim Jan Wertel and Gernot Oberfell, designers of the Levitate system. \u2013 We spent a lot of time developing accessories for the Levitate system, so that they can be easily added, moved and removed depending on the user’s individual needs. Moreover, the use of materials and finishes we often associate with home furniture gives the office a feeling of warmth and friendliness.<\/em><\/p>\n

The home office design<\/em> trend is not a temporary fashion; it is a consequence of changing working habits, the needs of new generations of employees and the new role of an office. Thanks to the dynamic development of technology, people can work in different places. Because of this, the borders between work and private life are slowly blurring. The way to increase employees’ engagement and efficiency has changed as well. According to research, natural materials such as wood and wool act as a buffer that reduces stress and has a positive influence on employees’ well-being.<\/p>\n

The premiere of the Levitate furniture and the Tapa poufs took place at the Orgatec 2016 fair in Cologne last October.<\/p>\n
