Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec know all about teamwork. The brothers have been working with Vitra for twelve years and their latest product, a modular office system called Workbays, shows what they’ve learned about the art of successful collaboration.

Along with the new Workbays line, Vitra displayed other new concepts in open-plan spaces at Cologne’s 2012 Orgatec office furniture fair

The system can eliminate many of the problems that office planners face, like shifting teams, various work styles within one space, and noise control. The collection is available in models that accommodate both standing- and sitting-height work surfaces and can stand as a single unit, in large and small groups, and in configurations designed for formal conferences or casual meetings.

Made of pressed polyester fleece over slim aluminum profiles, the Workbays wall elements also dampen noise, so phone calls and discussions can take place in open spaces without disrupting neighbors. Wall elements are available in two heights and eight colors.
