Locale

Locale helps organisations utilise and manage open office plans with a system that enables people to transition seamlessly between working together and alone, and in seated or standing postures. By removing visual and physical obstacles and condensing the architectural scale of an open office plan into a tightly knit neighbourhood, Locale helps people stay better connected to their work and each other. A thoughtful composition of Locale’s elements encourages people to cycle freely and intuitively from individual work to collaborative group and social activities. With close proximity to each other and to everything they need to comfortably complete their tasks, people can be more focused, creative and free to do their best. Linear, low and architectonic, the horizontal Workbase provides a unifying core to each Locale neighbourhood. Power and mechanics are housed within the Workbase, creating an elegant visual aesthetic. A pattern of vertical detail enhances this aesthetic and creates visual continuity between modular elements. Locale’s curved, height-adjustable surfaces signal openness, invite interaction and generously accommodate multiple collaborators, work styles, postures and tools. Minimal table legs foster unobstructed transitions between individual and group work, allowing people to gather and disperse with ease. Mobile elements, including tables, screens and easels, provide flexibility for workers to create at the desk and display within the team. The collection is not available in the U.S.
