An Arena For Innovative Collaboration

November 9, 2023

The design of The Arena room embodies our commitment to being at the forefront of furniture design and innovation by integrating modern tech into the most functional furniture designs.

Our new upholstered Co-Op table base in our charcoal wool and the use of fabric throughout the room help to absorb sound and create a warm and welcoming space. The rear wall in Autex acoustic wall panels further soften the acoustics and layer textures into the space.

The integration of new and emerging video conferencing facilities within this room ensures it is well-equipped for modern collaborative work, including digital sharing and presentations. The custom leaf shaped table top, featured in Polytec’s Tasmanian Oak woodmatt, adds soft lines and organic curves to the space. The shape of the furniture enables a flow of connected conversation with both screen-to-person and person-to-person contact.

Our custom-designed bookshelf serves a dual purpose, maximising storage while providing a focal point for the meeting room and breakout reading space. These spatial functions allow for an organic flow of conversation in both formal meeting settings but also in casual connections between staff which foster the creative brainstorming and team cohesion in the physical workspace.
