Work.Life

The evolving workplace brief is exceeded in the striking interior of Work.Life, Old Street.

Created by Two, the vibrant co-work space packs a punch of colour, multi textured surfaces and feature lighting across private booths, collaborative work zones and high end amenities.

True to hotelification, Work.Life greets its entrants with a striking first impression. The amenity spaces pair industrial stone finishes with exposed brickwork and an energising palette.

EGGER F628 ST16 Silver Grey Metal Slate was chosen for the statement counter end. With impressive attention to detail, the cut-out cross design reflects the level of aesthetic care typically found in the hospitality sector.

In the booth seating, rust tones are paired with barely black EGGER H3190 ST19 Anthracite Fineline Metallic. Choosing a vertical grain orientation mirrors the tall booth surrounds and heightens the veneer like appearance of the decor.

Designer India Cornish told us why the decor was chosen:

We chose EGGER as their laminates have the most natural finish, with both the grain and colour mimicking real wood almost perfectly”

Specifying the decor as laminate meant a seamless finish could be achieved on the thick booth surrounds and work surfaces, reflecting the bold design aesthetic. It also offers heightened durability, perfect for the higher wear of the busy co-working environment.

Choosing EGGER products means that we can enjoy aesthetic, high-quality products while also being environmentally responsible.’’

She added:

EGGER laminates can suit any space and design concept, and are incredibly durable and long-lasting.”

In the hot desking zones, H3131 ST12 Natural Davos Oak complements the palette of bold orange-reds and muted blues. The characterful knotting and subtle ST12 grain texture bring an element of biophillic design to the interior.

Ultimately, we selected EGGER finishes for their natural beauty, versatility, and practicality.”

Specifying the finish in Eurodekor Faced Chipboard offers a greater contribution to the ESG targets of the project, due to its negative embodied carbon and 100% recyclability.

Two spoke to us about the importance of environmental sustainability and why they chose EGGER products to help them achieve it:

It's vital to consider the environmental impact of our choices. That's precisely why we chose EGGER, because it is committed to sustainability by purchasing wood regionally and using by-products. EGGER continually seeks to improve its environmental performance, and manufactures within environmental management systems in accordance with ISO 14001.”
