Vitra Club Office
Birsfelden / Switzerland

OFFICE sound-absorbing curtains with STUDIO OFFICE and ELEGANCE track

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, a sense of 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 also possible 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.

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