Van Duysen managed to scale his architecture down to a desk, built up with various lacquered panels, complemented with fabrics. The raised panels create an intimate workspace. The executive desk is realised in wenge veneer with edges in veneer. Freestanding drawer units, sliding door cabinets and meeting tables complete the range. The sober colour palette refers to old office furniture.

With Double You, the Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein establishes a very innovative vision on office organisation, taking the concept of collective use as a starting point. Contrary to the individual and the shared workspace, the Double You system is not defined. The user is free to decide the size of the desk according to the amount of work and time pressure within his environment.
As such, a new kind of dynamic flexibility arises, from which both the employee and the employer can benefit. The success of a modern company is highly determined by the creativity of its employers, and that creativity is stimulated when one, preferably in a flexible and informal environment, can work and discuss with others.

 In 1994, Bulo invited the Antwerp-based architect duo Claire Bataille and Paul ibens to design a desk. The duo came up with H2O, a simple piece that can be configured in various ways. H2O is a timeless rendition of the classic worktable: a plain rectangular, adjustable top with an aluminium support. H2O equals transparency, timelessness and simplicity. The table can function equally well as a work, meeting or dining table and fits in both classic and modern interiors.

The M collection is based on a classical "refectory" style offering increased space with the same features and finishes as M2. Supported by a minimum of two and a maximum of six containers, M can be used as a hot desking system for more than one person or as a director's desk.

Normal is a contemporary rendition of the classic worktable: pure measurements, balanced proportions and materials that appeal to the senses. Normal consists of a wide top and two chests of drawers. These veneered segments are affixed to each other by way of a steel element. Following in the Bauhaus tradition, the assembly system of the furniture is kept deliberately visible. As is true with Nouvel’s architecture itself, the formal language of Normal is based on notions such as “open and closed”, surface and volume. The monumental desk, the meeting table and the filing cabinets that complete this collection radiate a feeling for modern luxury and warm elegance.

Description

Van Duysen managed to scale his architecture down to a compact piece of furniture, built up with various lacquered panels, complemented with fabrics. The raised panels create an intimate workspace. The smooth edges are realised in Corian. Freestanding drawer units, sliding door cabinets and meeting tables complete the range.
The sober colour palette refers to old office furniture. DESK can be set up as a one-person executive desk, as a two-and four desk and can be expanded into a work island. In this way the furniture acts as “domestic architecture” in a space.

With Double You, the Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein establishes a very innovative vision on office organisation, taking the concept of collective use as a starting point. Contrary to the individual and the shared workspace, the Double You system is not defined. The user is free to decide the size of the desk according to the amount of work and time pressure within his environment.
As such, a new kind of dynamic flexibility arises, from which both the employee and the employer can benefit. The success of a modern company is highly determined by the creativity of its employers, and that creativity is stimulated when one, preferably in a flexible and informal environment, can work and discuss with others.

In 1994, Bulo invited the Antwerp-based architect duo Claire Bataille and Paul ibens to design a desk. The duo came up with H2O, a simple piece that can be configured in various ways. H2O is a timeless rendition of the classic worktable: a plain rectangular, adjustable top with an aluminium support. H2O equals transparency, timelessness and simplicity. The table can function equally well as a work, meeting or dining table and fits in both classic and modern interiors.
H2O HUB is developed in reponse to the ever increasing demand for work platforms.Table modules in different sizes can be used as stand-alone units or can be linked together. In that case the legs in the middle are replaced by a central support. A highly user friendly cable management and a series of shelves and screens allow the user to personalise its work space.

 A risky design when released in 1996, M2 has now become a classic that has found its way to offices and design museums alike. Aptly named due to its one sq. m. shape, M2’s merits as a compact computer workstation are evident. Its unique shape provides for additional space all the while effectively functioning as a worktable. The design still surprises with its proportions and simple ingenuity (the square top seems to lean on the floor on one side). The diverse materials and range of colour choices, with the Smarties line offering bright hues, are not to be overlooked.

No office is complete without a reliable and user-friendly filing cabinet. Apart from paper documents and files, modern data carriers such as cd-roms, floppy discs and opticals ask for a well-organised classification system. KRS is Bulo's answer to the need for a modern filing cabinet: a solid closet with roll down shutters that allows for different organisational possibilities and in which space can be maximized. The KRS has many advantages. The synch mechanism allows for both shutters to be opened and closed at the same time, almost silently, while the Bulosafe number lock guarantees a key-less entry and rock solid security. What’s more, the materials offered are pre-determined with extensive use in mind. The backside can also be upholstered, allowing the KRS to be used as a dividing wall or a reception desk.

 

With ribbed velvet and leather, soft cushions and broad armrests, the Pub & Club transcends the functional aspect of the desk chair through its luxurious comfort and playful aesthetics. The Pub & Club is perfect for an informal talk or for quiet reflection. The chair makes working more human, cosy, almost intimate. As the perfect antidote to the rigid office chair, the Pub & Club lends a warm and “lounge-y touch” to the often technocratic, uniformed work environment.

TAB CHAIR is a versatile chair, designed for both the private and the project market. Its large bended back makes it comfortable and relaxing chair. The chair is stackable and can be juxtaposed in an original manner to meet any group needs. TAB CHAIR is available on cantilever frame or central chassis with or without castors. Berteau has successfully combined elegance, creativity and discipline. He has captured the essence of our current way of using a seat.

CHAIR is the new office chair collection, designed by Vincent van Duysen for Bulo. The refined chair is characterised by pure lines, a specific profile, remarkable ergonomic qualities and the use of innovative materials. The height adjustment knobs are made of ceramic, which is pleasant to the touch. The colours of the covering, the frame and the side profile can be attuned, thus creating a monochromic chair.

“This table has the virginity of unpainted canvas. I wanted to return to the pure form of a table, like a child would draw it.”

Wood base construction clad in white painter’s canvas which has been fastened onto the structure by means of small rivets.

Quasi Normal or ‘nearly normal’ to this architect is the most direct way of creating a product which one the one hand best expresses his imagination and sensuality whilst maintaining regard for functional aspects on the other hand.The desk consists of a plywoord worktop in beech finish covered with a phenol laminate in a redbrown colouring, two drawer units made from steel which can be turned in any direction, a storage element and a monitor support. The drawer units and the storage element come in a grey lacquer finish.

The basic conception for the R-bOrn design is a cube with 730 mm joist. the supporting structure in stainless steel has double the volume of the cube. On the work top; which comes in a Eterspan finish, the golden cut was used.

‘SCHRAAG’ is an up-to-date interpretation of the ‘trestle’concept: a flexible and compact support with three (not four) slender aluminium legs. One leg stands vertical while the other two are inclined enhancing stability. The legs are screwed into an aluminium support. The rubber strips prevent the top from sliding off. It is quite easy to detach the legs and to hide them in the supporting element, which can then serve as a portable case. The rubber strip prevents the legs from falling out of the case.

Spine, a table redefining construction and form. The top showing the construction of the support. The legs are dissymmetrically placed; one leg on each short side and two legs on one wide side, thus leaving the other wide side free of legs.

MAT takes the concept of “New Ways of Working” to the extreme, why not work at your laptop whilst lying down, lounging by the pool! The possibilities are endless.

The notion Studiolo is common in the Italian renaissance period, it consists of a writing table and a seat shaped like a throne. A studiolo may take different forms, adapted to the user’s needs and job function. The Studiolo concept by Annabelle d’Huart is inspired by Liberatore’s painting the Annunciation in the Pinacoteca in Perugia. Maria is pictured between a writing desk and a seat in the form of a throne. Studio is large yet compact. The simplicity of its functional lines are uninterrupted. Two tops, two shelve units serving as support with a bookcase replacing the throne, give the ability to fill the office space according to the individual needs.

For the Carte Blanche collection, Venlet created a mobile desk-seat. Often confronted with unconfortable seating in waiting areas at airports, Venlet wanted to unite the function of seating and working for a while (laptop, mobile,…) in one product. The chair has an integrated seat and back (or armrest), supported by chrome or lacquered (Ral 7021) legs. The chair is available on wheels or glides.
Easy Rider is suitable for a range of applications including lobbies, hotel lounges, waiting areas of airports, libraries, cybercafés, museums, etc. and for domestic use.

Everybody working at the same table whilst having their own individual workspace, this is the concept forged by architect-designer Edouard François with his Love Table. Providing a large, up to 35-metre length table made from multiply with cell-shaped recesses produces a large single shared desk, thereby conceiving of the space as a place which holds the middle ground between an individual desk which is often found to be too isolated and an open space layout which in turn is often experienced as being too noisy and too impersonal. Here it is the furniture piece in itself which organises the space of its own accord as it were.
