VITRA: Suggestions and ideas for safe working
After COVID-19 and the experience of working from home, companies are making conscious decisions about whether and how to set up an office location that reflects their self-image and values.
Working from home is definitely better, cheaper and healthier than being in a poorly designed office. If a company wants to operate an office location, it must be attractively designed. Many companies will want to adapt to the new conditions with new structures after the pandemic. Repetitive, standardized tasks will be digitized, while classic desk work will be moved from the costly office location to the home office. Creative or highly sensitive core tasks such as R&D, brand management, innovation or management are likely to remain in a fixed location that encourages spontaneous exchange and mutual inspiration. A productive balance is created in a high-quality office environment that reflects the corporate identity. Agile, flexible workplaces enable economic activity in line with the business cycle.
The long-term effects of the pandemic are still unknown. The return to the office has begun and now requires quick solutions to design the office in such a way that employees are protected and further spread can be prevented.
In this factbook you will find a few suggestions and ideas for supplementing existing work settings and planning examples of how you can make your existing office „corona-proof“ with Quick-Fixes.

CDS Workstations
Antonio Citterio, 2016The modular CDS office desk system enables configurations of individual desks, clusters in any number, large workbenches and meeting tables in various sizes. All of these tables are available at a fixed height or as manual or motorized sit-stand solutions. The overall design is based on a uniform base frame, which is largely pre-assembled with fold-out legs. This means that CDS also meets the highest requirements for flexibility in planning, use, logistics, assembly and service.
Easy-to-clean materials and surfaces
Regular cleaning of individual surfaces is recommended in order to implement sustainable hygiene standards in offices and public spaces. However, as the materials are subject to particular wear and tear, particularly robust surfaces and materials are advisable.
With a base frame made of powder-coated metal and table surfaces made of MDF or melamine, these are included as standard with CDS
The demands placed on office workspaces today are more diverse than ever before. A wide variety of tasks, from creative processes and intensive team projects to administrative activities and concentrated individual work, call for versatile solutions.
The modular CDS office table system meets these requirements: it enables configurations of individual tables, clusters in any number, large workbenches and meeting tables in various sizes. All of these tables are available at a fixed height or as manual or motorized sit-stand solutions.
The authentic industrial aesthetic of CDS conveys the character of a system characterized by technical solutions. This impression is reinforced when you look at the design details. The most practical solution was sought for every function: easily accessible electrification options, cable baskets and cable guides create order, the screens provide shielding, as do the sophisticated roller blinds, which are taken over by the higher table top when the tables are raised or lowered – and the discreet technology rail, which is flush with the table top, can be fitted with screen and light holders as well as containers and accessories completely without tools.
The overall design of the office desk system is based on a uniform base frame, which is largely pre-assembled with fold-out legs. This means that CDS also meets the highest requirements for flexibility in planning, use, logistics, assembly and service.
TYDE TABLE SYSTEM
Existing table systems and workstations can be easily adapted to the new hygiene regulations.
In addition to screens, Tyde offers easy, uncomplicated conversion of linked clusters and the addition of accessories as standard. While the partition wall remains at a fixed height (mm) and thus ensures visual calm, the 3D screen moves with the table when it is raised or lowered, providing good protection even when standing.
Tyde 2 Workstations
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2021The Tyde 2 (2021) sit-stand desk system by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec offers so many configuration options that platforms can be created that provide solutions for concentrated work, teamwork and meetings.
WORKIT
Existing table systems and workstations can be easily adapted to the new distancing rules.
In addition to screens, WorKit offers easy, uncomplicated conversion of interlinked clusters and the addition of accessories as standard. For example, the luminaire sleeve for table luminaires can compensate for any darkening caused by newly installed screens.
WorKit Workstations
Arik Levy, 2008The WorKit office furniture system can be used to create versatile individual workstations and team arrangements. The tables with their ingenious design can be easily adapted to requirements. Add-on tops enable communicative meeting configurations, while central and side screens provide process-related workstations – individually or as team benches in a wide range of sizes.
JOYN
Joyn is more than just office furniture. Joyn is a management tool in times of changing work culture, because Joyn consolidates a variety of spatial functions on a single level, the platform. Its mobile and modular structure adapts spontaneously to changing requirements and technologies. Joyn reflects the dynamics of the modern office. The space allocated to each workstation is fundamentally flexible.
Joyn workstations
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2002Joyn is the office furniture system for the current change in work culture, as it condenses a variety of room functions onto a single level: the platform. The modular structure of the Joyn platform adapts spontaneously to changing work requirements and technologies.
Dancing Wall
As a flexible and multifunctional solution, the Dancing Wall reacts spontaneously to new requirements. The Dancing Wall is a mobile frame that can be equipped in a modular system. The spectrum ranges from whiteboards and pinboards to shelves and monitor walls that can be used on one or both sides and even a green island. The Dancing Wall separates workstations, defines spaces and can always be used flexibly.
Dancing Wall
Stephan Hürlemann, 2018In its basic function, Dancing Wall is a mobile partition wall that can be used to divide rooms into flexible zones while also providing vertical work surfaces.
