Designed for flexibility and focused work

LAB42 was built to adapt. Big Modular Tables and Lite Tables can be rearranged to support teaching, group projects or individual study, allowing rooms to shift function throughout the day. The lower tables are complemented by Hale PET Felt Stack Chairs, offering comfort and durability for longer periods of focused work. This modular approach ensures users can move intuitively between collaboration and concentration as their needs evolve.

Circular design principles in practice

Collaborative areas feature Hale PET Felt Counter + Bar Stools, creating inviting spots for teamwork and informal exchange. Quieter study zones are defined with AK 1 Workplace Dividers, adding acoustic comfort without disrupting the open feel of the building. LAB42 is fully energy-neutral and built according to circular principles, using recycled and reusable materials wherever possible. Generous daylight, green walls and a cohesive material palette contribute to a healthy and pleasant environment, supporting a campus where innovation and collaboration can thrive.
