Commercial furnishings company Stylex is reinventing the office of the future and responding to the demands of the hybrid workplace with a new flexible space solution, Free Address 2.0. An expansion of the award-winning, modular furniture system Free Address, Free Address 2.0 provides separation and storage with an approachable aesthetic that supports workers’ new rhythms and realities. As North America prepares to amend the in-person work experience with smaller footprints and hybrid work environments, Free Address 2.0 offers an innovative, adaptable design solution, while providing peace of mind for occupants within office, hospitality, education, and healthcare spaces.
“After a receptive market response to Free Address, Free Address 2.0 builds upon the line’s most popular options while speaking directly to the growing need for enhanced privacy, safety, and storage,” states Randi Pastrovic, Vice President of Marketing for Stylex. “A single, integrated solution for today’s wide variety of workstyles, Free Address 2.0 responds to what the post-COVID workplace will look like. As offices downsize and companies reevaluate their footprint, Free Address 2.0 offers a holistic solution for individual needs and collective work preferences.”
Maximizing space and carving out personalized areas, the expanded Free Address Collection includes higher sofa backs for more privacy and the ability for occupants to sit back-to-back while maintaining a safe distance. Taller table heights have been added to accommodate stools, along with more open cubbies and storage spaces (or “lockers”), and casters for greater flexibility and ease of use. The latest enhancements build on the original design components while reducing office footprints through multi-purpose design solutions.
Designed for open-plan schemes, this next-generation system exists to improve the spaces in which we work and gather. Whether it’s used for heads-down focus, team collaboration, quick touchdowns, or impromptu gatherings, Free Address 2.0 provides a dynamic, spontaneous environment that encourages teamwork and community while respecting privacy and giving thoughtful consideration to employee wellness through biophilic design elements. An additional design perk, Free Address 2.0 offers the option to incorporate plant boxes within the furniture - providing healthier air and a mood-boosting design element, all while simultaneously building out respective zones.
Free Address 2.0 is available with a variety of configurable components, ranging from seating, to seat height and work height tables, privacy panels, cubbies, lockers, planters, and accessories. The Free Address 2.0 system also offers a wide palette of powder coat frame colors, upholstery styles, and integrated power options.
