Vitra Club Office
Birsfelden / Switzerland

Sound Curtain OFFICE with track systems STUDIO OFFICE and ELEGANCE

The concept of the Vitra Club Office takes up new possibilities of collaboration in times of pandemic and beyond. Realised as a prototype at the headquarters, the "office of the future" focuses on collaboration, community, belonging, identity and inspiration. The Club Office enables meetings in different spaces, for which flexible zoning is essential: In the public area, spontaneous meetings are possible also with external people, workshops and teamwork take place in the semi-public area, and the private area is intended as a protected zone for individual work.

For the reinvention of the office and the design of future-proof workplaces, multifunctional spaces are needed, which can be realised individually as well as temporarily in no time at all thanks to the OFFICE sound curtain by Gerriets. For the first Vitra Club Office at the headquarters in Birsfelden, Gerriets was entrusted with the entire curtain furnishing.
