At IIDEX, NeoCon Canada: Morpheo

Named for its “shape-shifting personality,” Morpheo is the new addition to the office systems offered by Lacasse. New handle styles, square legs, metal pedestals, Y-shaped work surfaces, and hutches with sliding doors give Morpheo “its modernist geometry.” This translates into stylish office spaces that remain changeable-in case you should grow or downsize.

Morpheo invigorates the typical office system with these new offerings, though it’s the new Matrix acrylic inserts and the fresh color palette that may most catch your attention. Using organic shapes fulfills a philosophical shift in working spaces: bringing the outside in. Morpheo complments their new shapes with vibrant and natural color schemes-from Crystal Black to Frost (black and white) and Moss to Ginger (green and light wood). Lacasse explains that these “new natural brown and white laminate finishes [are] inspired by the earth, botanicals and the atmosphere.” Combining aluminum accents, translucent windows, and thick laminate work surfaces, Morpheo plays with contrasting elements: light and dark, flat and dimensional, matte and shiny. As in nature, these binaries play off one another to create dynamic land/office scapes.

In keeping with this organic theme, Morpheo is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality and Children and Schools certified, so unlike your old metal desk, it will promote health. Multiple pieces can stand alone or work in groups, and storage options take Morpheo from magazine editorial room to drafting station. Designed to work seamlessly with new technology, Morpheo looks toward the future. Lacasse believes that Morpheo “sets a serene atmosphere that fosters collaboration and creativity”-a far cry from the cubicle doldrums of old.
