Masterly craftsmanship, fine materials and long-lasting design are the values which set the brand apart. Walter Knoll believes our working world is changing. While offices used to resemble dreary cells, spaces for the strict eight-hour workday, a new approach is now taking over from the focus on functionality: "It is the situation – with a mix of furniture and zones – that is relevant now," says Markus Benz, CEO of Walter Knoll. "Today a manager's chief task is communication and Walter Knoll is dedicated to fostering this communication." Read More.

A place of expression and sound board for the ideas of those sitting at it: managers, doers and all those people who look to the future because they know that that is where success is shaped." - EOOS Design VIEW MORE FROM WALTER KNOLL Extremis' modern workplace oasis Extremis believes the new workplace is an oasis in the hustle and bustle of the city centre. With initiatives like urban farming and bicycle couriers, we are evolving towards an alternative interpretation of urbanisation. Likewise, companies in these cities are becoming highly committed to the satisfactions and health of their employees. Extremis' Tools For Togetherness have a great impact on the work place. They are designed to bring people together wherever they are. Meeting, taking a break, focusing, chatting, brainstorming, lunching, celebrating success... all the way to after-work relaxation. Every piece of furniture is designed to eliminate barriers and optimize communication between employees, to stimulate creativity and 'casual collisions'.
