With Cyl, an elegant assortment of workplace furniture, the Brothers Bouroullec and Vitra offer a respite from high-tech office concepts. To wit, “the antithesis of the cold, technical office environment.”

What, they reason, could be warmer than wood? Just so, Cyl’s several components are made of this most elemental material: “solid wood conveys a handcrafted, natural aesthetic and infuses a touch of emotion into the look and feel of the workplace.”

The collection is comprised of a simple table and sofa, both of which incorporate back and side panels of various heights and different textures.

The Focus Bench is another option. Utilizing a smaller worktop, thinner legs, and privacy screens, this piece morphs the Cyl Table into a private bastion for intensive work.

All three pieces can be customized courtesy of Vitra’s handy configurator. Users choose from a variety of different veneers, connectors, and upholstery fabrics.
