An Inviting New Space Revealed
With functionality and aesthetics at top of mind, the team set out to create an inviting new workspace for ATE Tankers.
Opting for a minimalist scheme inspired by natural tones, a consistent palette featuring light wood, black, grey and hints of khaki were extended throughout the office landscape.
Keywork workstations paired with Hana chairs and Local screens feature in the open office, while Keywork desks and Miro S chairs stand out in the executive spaces. Storage was also high priority with a selection of custom made bookcases and storage units being carefully crafted for the space.
The staff lunchroom was brought to life with a custom made kitchen that integrates a mix of bench space, storage and a counter for the team. Poppi chairs, Indi stools, Mix bench seating and Halo tables further enhance the space, providing an enticing breakout zone.
No space was overlooked, the meeting areas also looking exceptional, dressed with beautiful grey FortyFour Chairs around Dart tables, while the reception welcomes guests with Hugo Lounges and Byte Coffee tables.
The impressive mix of furniture selections and finishes blend together to create a striking yet timeless office that will serve ATE Tankers for years to come.
Tricentis: Epitome of Industrial Design
Located in the heart of Surry Hills, Sydney, Tricentis’ office is the epitome of industrial design. Ciara Tapia Design successfully emphasises the original architecture of the building by choosing a clean black and white colour palette that perfectly complements the industrial features.
The new office summarises the essence of a modern workspace. From our Swish electric height adjustable workstations in the open office to our Keywork counter tables in the meeting/training rooms, the space is designed to break sedentary behaviours.
Collaboration in all its forms is made possible through various formal and informal settings. Our Dart rectangle table brings the team together in the meeting room while its round sibling gathers people in the office kitchen for casual chats. Our Hush high back lounges are paired with a Dart coffee table, creating a private space for solo work or one-on-one meetings.

Spread over two levels in the heart of Sydney, Cobbleworks’ recently fitted out offices are a penchant for light, tactility and materiality.

Similar in finishes but different in layout, the second office includes Uno counter tables on castors with Zorro stools allowing them to be moved around to facilitate a variety of settings from collaboration to relaxation.
With a focus on the evolving nature of the way we work and the relationship between the user and their environment in an open plan office, Cobbleworks office provides highly flexible and versatile solutions. Moving throughout this space, our Hugo lounges and Sofi hexagon ottomans in a trendy mustard upholstery come together to form soft seating areas. Our Sofi ottomans are mobile in design, allowing for staff to move and create their own work areas based on their needs and requirements.
Arched windows frame the building allowing natural light to flood the rooms. Situated underneath these are a variety of seating and coffee table settings, including our Madi chairs paired with the Maya coffee table, Jena chairs paired with the Drum coffee table and Sofi ottomans coupled with the Oscar coffee table, allowing staff and visitors to interact in a casual environment.

Back To Work - Solutions for a Safe, Healthy and Productive Workplace
As we adapt to the new model of working, office design will be largely influenced by social distancing practices. Adhering to governmental and global health guidelines means current setups in the workplace may need to be reconfigured or new elements added, creating longer-term solutions for enhanced safety.
Through the evolving context of how we interact and the relationship to our workplace, our solutions are holistic and consider not only furniture, but also space, materials and wellbeing. Creating private, individual areas through visible defenses such as protective screens, partitions and furniture with highly cleanable properties, we are able to facilitate a safe and healthy environment for staff.
We’ve curated a collection of highly adaptable products with a focus on screens and partitions to help create spaces that are safe for people to interact comfortably and embrace new ways of working.

Must Have Accessories to Promote Office Well-Being
The average person will spend over 90,000 hours at work during their lifetime, so ensuring one's well-being is nurtured in an office space is extremely important.
When planning or changing your office space, a small accessory can make a big difference. Here are a few of our favourites.
Logic Monitor Arms - Having the right ergonomic setup is an important part of encouraging healthy workplace practices. Part of this setup includes the addition of monitor arms to desk tops. Logic monitor arms can be used to mount one or more screens and can be set at custom heights to suit individual users ensuring long lasting comfort.
Planters - Introducing plants and greenery into a workspace has been one of the most effective ways to bring touches of nature into the office. Recent studies have shown that workers felt an improved sense of well-being when surrounded by biophilic elements. Our Globe, Universal and Trak planters are the perfect yet simple way to make plants a part of a workplace and can be added onto storage units or used in conjunction with our Trak workstation system.
Cushi - In addition to adding Logic Monitor Arms to your desk, our Cushi footrest completes this ergonomic set up. Created with health benefits in mind, Cushi prevents long and short-term health problems such as slow blood circulation, back tension and promotes proper posture.
Sparki - In a technological age, having power solutions easily available on your desk creates a more productive work lifestyle. Compact and sleek, our Sparki above desk power solution allows users access to a GPO and 2 USB ports.

How to Balance Work and Well-being
With a shift in the modern workplace and growth of technology, the increase in a more sedentary lifestyle has created movements to promote employee health and wellbeing. Working styles are constantly evolving to allow for a healthy balance between sitting, standing and walking. This includes the introduction of height adjustable desks and tables, like our Swish and Rize which are a perfect solution to encourage movement.
Height adjustable desks allow users to easily adjust their work surface from a sitting to a standing position with a single tool, giving the user complete control of how they work. In addition, our Rize range includes height-adjustable side tables and meeting tables allowing employees to mix up the way they collaborate and conduct meetings.
Three benefits of height adjustable desks include:
Improved Health - With the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes from sitting all day, research has shown that switching to a sit-stand desk lowers blood sugar levels, lowers your risk of heart disease, improves metabolism and reduces back pain.
Improved Mood and Energy Levels - The popularity of sit-stand desks has had a positive impact on the employees overall well-being. By introducing desks like our Swish or Rize, users have shown to be less stressed and fatigued than those who remain seated all day.
Boosts Productivity - Being able to access a variety of postures throughout the day helps employees stay engaged with their work tasks. Standing has also been proven to stimulate circulation, sending more oxygen and nutrients to the brain, improving one's mental focus thus encouraging one to work more efficiently and increase performance.
