Joyn is not furniture. Joyn is a philosophy, an organisational system, a way of thinking about work.
Design: Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
What happened to the office?
Why systems?
The office as we know it has disappeared. Why? The old style workplace, with its rigid hierarchies, cannot keep pace with the speed of the global business network. It is too slow, too leaden, too resistant to change. Technology allows us to work virtually anywhere, at any time — and 24/7 global competition requires it. But old, rigid spatial divisions get in the way, blocking interaction and disabling communication. Flexibility - the ability to absorb change - has emerged as the single most important feature of office design. So a new kind of workspace has appeared. It’s fast, light and it embraces seemingly endless organisational combinations and juxtapositions. It is open not closed - it accepts new additions, technologies and configurations. And it works on many levels simultaneously: providing solace for the individual, support for the team, structure for the office and identity for the enterprise.
New kinds of systems are needed to meet the challenges that arise from these new economic and interpersonal conditions: systems that are self-sufficient and self-sustaining, adaptive to change and responsive to difference. Systems that provide coherence and ensure continuity over time as well as compatibility across space. And this is why we tailor systems to fit the diverse ambitions of the contemporary office: To provide autonomy, creating a sense of privacy and control in a collective environment. To foster collectivity, which serves to optimise both communication and interaction. To ensure expandability, by producing an infinity of work conditions and relationships. To allow multiplicity that permits all levels of work, and also accomodates diversity. To build modularity, providing the most economical use of the elements to fulfil all working scenarios.

Meanwhile at Vitra... We have spent the past 40 years studying the sociology of work, exploring emerging technologies, developing innovative new materials and creating new kinds of systems for new ways of working. All these years of experience have culminated in our newest, evolutionary office system: Joyn.

The platform Joyn condenses a diversity of spatial functions on a single plane: The platform is the office. But Joyn is more than just a piece of office furniture, it’s a management tool for cultural change.
6
With its mobile and modular structure, Joyn adapts spontaneously to changing demands and technologies. It initiates new, productive forms of work based on communication and cooperation.
7
Constant flux Joyn is designed to be easily reconfigured by the people who use it. The platform is stable, but when in use it continually adapts to changing needs, tasks, technologies and workflows. Joyn is simple to use but as sophisticated and complex as the problems it helps to solve. The capacity of rooms, floors, even buildings becomes extraordinarily elastic.

Screens & blotters Work areas may be spontaneously rezoned using screens and blotters. As none of the boundaries are fixed, work areas simply contract and expand as needed. Density varies with the level of activity.

The third level
The lower level
The Joyn platform accommodates workers on two sides who are separated by a central cable channel that carries data, a power supply and the “third level� : aluminium profiles that serve to hold screens, organisers, lamps and special adapters for flatscreens.
The Joyn platform frame features containers for computers under the desktop, keeping the workspace clear. Optional height adjusters can be used to raise the table top to 74-76 cm.

Joyn Conference Meeting and working functions have blended together. Conferences may incorporate digital projection, laptops, speakerphones, mobile phones, PDAs as well as traditional paper and pencils. The Joyn bench (with embedded power and data) is the perfect surface on which to orchestrate contemporary meetings.

Joyn Single Bench The Joyn Single Bench is the personal workplace for any decision maker in a collective environment.

Joyn Single Desk Height adjustable Joyn Single Desks are designed for single users. Optional screens surrounding the table top provide more privacy. Direct power access facilitates ‘plug and work’.

Joyn environment Joyn provides a peripheral landscape and an alternative to the interactivity of the platform.

Joyn office Joyn is designed for the dynamics of a contemporary office. As the space allocated for each workspace is flexible, Joyn creates a whole new approach to office planning: the same configuration can facilitate both high and low density use.
