Our March advert for Business HQ Magazine literally went out of this world. The 9th edition of the magazine left the Earth's atmosphere this month, before falling back down to the surface when its carrying balloon burst, with our advert inside! You can watch the moment here.

 
For this campaign, we wanted to include a space-themed advert and decided on the spectacular Capsule Chairs from Palau, that slightly resemble being in a space capsule.

Capsule soft seating collection offers a stylish solution to the increasing need for concentration and privacy in office environments. In an atmosphere of security, comfort, and innovation you can make phone calls or read without being disturbed. The collection creates privacy without being completely cut off from the surroundings.

Our global client requested some collaborative, agile working meeting areas to compliment the office space, so it was essential we got the combination of products right for them.

We installed a Verco high Martin table next to a wall mounted TV for meetings and conference calls paired with Miura high stools, which were chosen for their angular contemporary design.

In the meeting rooms we fitted tilt top mobile tables by Mercol, which allowed our client to cater for any number of people in the room and provided flexibility for it also to be used as a training room.

The soft seating was by Swedish manufacturer Johanson Design and was used in three breakout/meeting areas within the workspace.

The height adjustable desks by Mercol were the perfect fit for the agile working environment.

Open offices bring great benefits like bright spaces, collaboration and space but also challenges without walls to divide, open plan offices can be noisy with no privacy. With organisations changing so fast, offices need a smart way to repurpose spaces quickly and cheaply.

Palasides ll from Spacestor was created to meet this need. It offers a new way of dividing zones in a light and minimalist way. Its design can be customised with biophilia, shelving and other accessories and can grow to any size, making new architectures around or even over your desk; your imagination is the limit!

Taking inspiration from the great mid-century modernist Californian designer Muriel Coleman, Palisades ll brings Coleman’s light, harmonious aesthetic into the ever-evolving workspace.

Open spaces require clever furniture solutions to create privacy. In busy working environments there is a need for furniture that encourages social interaction, intimate meeting places, privacy, and places of refuge where focus and concentration can happen.

Harc, from Ocee Design, was created to encourage the basic need of listening by cutting out or reducing the surrounding noise with its clever design. The name Harc echoes the arc shape with its sweeping curves that wrap around to create a warm and cosy enclosure. Living up to their design mantra that ‘Everybody should be able to work, learn, meet or be entertained in the most beautiful, comfortable, creative and productive spaces.’

Spec: Harc is styled with sophisticated low and high back sofas, all designed on leg frames either in wood or aluminium. The range comes in different variations – sofas, privacy booths for teams to work at or the single chair.

The term Biophilia, meaning love of nature, focuses on human’s innate attraction to nature and natural processes. With the current increase in urbanisation, human beings have become separated from nature, which has caused an increase in stress-related illnesses.

The relationship between individuals and their environment can be a crucial determinant of how they feel, perform and interact with others. For employers, the importance of workplace design, a space where we spend many of our waking hours, is becoming more of a priority as we realise that this relationship between individuals and their environment is important to our overall health and productivity.

Biophilic Design incorporates direct or indirect elements of nature into the built environment we spend so many of our hours in. Research has shown that Biophilic Design in the workplace reduces stress, blood pressure levels and heart rates, increases productivity and improves well being of staff.

We have hand-picked some of our Biophilic Design’s that can integrate into your workspace:

We will be doing the ‘Wee Wander’, which lasts 6-miles and goes around Moss O Balloch Park, in support of Centrestage. You too can help Centrestage combat social isolation and loneliness and take a Wee Wander with their team on Sunday 29th April and help make a difference.

As open plan offices continue to be the go-to of office design, the need for areas to have meetings, team working and a little privacy becomes important. That’s why dens, pods, and booths are the perfect pieces of office furniture to provide a breakout area in an otherwise open space.

Breakout areas have evolved over the last few years and rather than a formal meeting or boardroom, many companies are opting to have these informal breakout spaces. A place to huddle, meet, chat and exchange ideas. High back booths, pods, and dens also have acoustic properties and provide privacy with their sound-proofing walls, making the area a little more quiet and the perfect place to hide from your boss. (Just kidding...)

Here at Saxen the Works we have cherry-picked our favourite pods and booths currently out there, which you can see in the gallery below. Available in a wide range of fabric options including imitation wood, fabric made from nettles, tartans, synthetic fabrics or wool mixes, the pods and booths can be coordinated to fit your space. If you would like to know more about, email us on [email protected]

For our client, the main aim was to make each space in this office project as modern as possible, without taking away from the buildings original features. They wanted to preserve features such as the cornice and the fireplace which add character to the office, without taking away from the furniture design. 

The Works by Saxen introduced furniture to the office that compliments the buildings beautiful features. We used a Buronomic table for the Boardroom and striking blue Tas Chairs by Pledge. The reception is also by Buronomic and has a Verco Salt chair, this seating was also used for the open plan office. Finally, we used the Mesh Mirus Chair and Lii Visitor Chairs for the main office to add a nice breakout space in the room.

The Centre director's goal was to create attractive, comfortable yet practical modular seating zones for customers at The Centre, Livingston. That's where The Works by Saxen stepped in. We supplied and installed 54 bespoke units of contemporary modular bench seating which offers the Centre the flexibility they required.

The Saxen team are delighted to have received positive feedback from the client, the shops and customers alike for our installation crew and the products.

As sponsors of the local Newmilns Food Festival, The Works by Saxen have been involved heavily in the organisation and marketing of this event. We care deeply about our community and being actively involved in the local Regeneration Association is a significant part of our CSR approach. As part of our involvement, our MD is on the organising committee and our team designed the event programme. We're proud to help put Newlmilns on the map.

The > NEWMILNS FOOD FESTIVAL < is on from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday 17 September - and we would love to see you there.

Advert featured in the event programme: Smallroom, by Offecct is a sofa that can be used together in different modules or standing alone. The design of Smallroom is characterised by a “box” on the side which can be used for placing plants or as a working surface with optional power devices. The back of the sofa can be compared to a high wall functioning as a sort of protection when one is seated, and creates the impression of a smaller room. However, the height of the back is not compromising with the volume of the surrounding room. Smallroom is offered with different back and side heights, which provide the architect a possibility to create environments that evoke interest, through the help of different dimensions.

In contemporary office environments one often talk about active areas; where different kinds of work, conversations and meetings can take place. Smallroom is developed in accordance with this and invites individually or group activities at work.

The EarChair is what happens when furniture is designed while keeping in mind the idea that it should behave like a room.

The final result is a chair which behaves like a private space – a proper resting place in the middle of the hustle-and-bustle of busy workplaces, a flexible & social meeting ground that can exist almost anywhere. The EarChair delivers a well-resolved acoustic that lets you be yourself in your own personal space - in a room within a room.

It is here, in the open public space, where you can have a personal conversation, make a telephone call or listen privately to what you choose. The integrated armrest table of the EarChair also offers a useful place for you to enjoy your coffee, write your notes, or work on your laptop. No matter how many chairs or how big the room actually is, the EarChair's unique variations of colour and fabric choice allows for every room to take on its own personal character.

High tech furnishings might conjure up a vision of exposed cables, but much has changed over the last few years and technology now serves to make a space more inviting, comfortable, flexible and productive, therefore, more profitable.

The trend towards these high-tech environments has already been embraced by global chains such as McDonald’s, Costa and Starbucks who have recognised that the addition of wireless charging stations drives increased footfall to their venues. This intelligent technology meets the demands of mobile device users to stay powered up on the move – simply pop in for a coffee and recharge.

Charging units can be installed discretely into a variety of interior products such as soft-seating, cafe tables, bar tops, desking, bedside tables and accessories for hospitality, office and home – adding extra functionality to any environment. The slimline chargers come with sleek polished or leather surrounds and introduce accessible charging without the need for cables cluttering spaces. Taken a step further, businesses can add their venues to an app which allows users to identify locations where they can charge and go.

Advances in high-tech furniture can also be seen in the commercial interiors lighting industry. Smart lighting can be integrated into soft-seating pods for breakout spaces, and incorporated into desking solutions. Research has shown that companies investing in this technology help to increase productivity by reducing fatigue associated with conventional lighting. Manufacturers have adopted mood lighting options with a variety of power and colour settings to allow the user to tailor the light to their own specific needs. Energy efficient features, such as presence detectors and sensor controlled lighting, mean that not only are these products effective in improving the wellbeing of users, but they also reduce power bills… which will help pay for that over-priced latte as we power up.

The Manhattan Collection is a versatile modular system with clean lines and a contemporary style, with a steel leg or show wood leg detail.

A multitude of configurations can be achieved incorporating chairs, sofas, bench seats and seating booths. The system is based on three main elements: seat module, screen and plinth. These create the main assemblies onto which arms, legs and headrests can be added. For added value, why not add in an Aircharge wireless charging into the armrest - making sure you are always powered up and ready to go?

The stylish little ped variety of colours and finishes, and simply by adding the optional cushion allows it to double as a spare mobile seat for informal meetings.

Montparnasse is an easy chair designed by the French designer Christophe Pillet. Pillet got inspired by, amongst other products, ordinary camping gear and has then added elegance and quality - which has created Montparnasse.

“This easy chair is designed with the ambition of using less material. Traditionally, easy chairs, like other furniture, are based on the idea of quantity, which is not at all updated to our contemporary time. It’s unbelievable, a shame, that quality and status is still valued in terms of size and quantity in cars, sofas, bathrooms etcetera. We developed this chair with a high-tech textile mounted on a mechanical construction, making the easy chair light, while using minimal amounts of material. It’s inspired by camping gear and military furniture. The exciting challenge has been to apply the cleverness and economical thinking of camping gear, but with the comfort and finish of high-end domestic furniture. It is about providing people with space, being light and transparent in the contemporary environment.”

Offecct's Netrame easy chair is the start of our January advertising campaigns.

Netframe is a sofa and an easy chair designed by the duo Cate & Nelson. Cate & Nelson’s idea behind Netframe was to create a piece of furniture that consumes as little material as possible while maintaining a high comfort.

”In order to succeed with this challenge we had to turn everything upside down in the development process. We wanted it to be easy to produce with minimal time and material usage”, says Nelson Ruiz-Acal, one half of Cate & Nelson.

Netframe was developed into a very comfortable piece of furniture with extremely low impact on the environment. Cate & Nelson believe it is important to see the wholeness in their design, that the product is responsible at all stages; from production to usage, which is very apparent in their design of Netframe.

The Tailor chair has a beautiful character with an exceptionally comfortable shape and many well-designed details. It can easily be disassembled and dressed in different fabrics.

"Different patterns for clothes have inspired me in my work on Tailor, and this gives the chair a unique character. The way the seat and the backrest are put together are highlighted with buttons, an important aesthetically detail. The buttons are the same shape as the buttons that were on a coat my grandmother used to wear. A small detail which means a lot to me. Every part of this chair is designed for maximum comfort. You could say that the chair is tailored for the body", says Louise Hederström.

No strangers to the architect sector, The Works are exhibiting an assortment of top European designed furniture, lighting and accessories. The Works are located just south of Glasgow in a recently converted Victorian lace mill. The former industrial building was in a state of disrepair before their team of designers, space planners and builders transformed the neglected exterior to its former glory and converted the interior to a showcase for innovative commercial furniture from across Europe’s most renowned designers. Suspended galvanised ducting, clever lighting and exposed brickwork accents deliver a powerful backdrop to the displays.

The event, which celebrates our local talent and diversity, artistically, architecturally and culturally, will raise funds for Enable Scotland and Glasgow School of Art – both causes that are close to The Works team’s hearts.

Visitors to the event will be able to view a showcase of the latest furniture trends and innovative commercial interior products, including state-of-the-art Aircharge wireless charging solutions at the gala dinner on the 28theof October.

Chris Arkley, Sales Director said “The AmeetsA event has really inspired us. We have close working ties with the architect community and feel this is a great opportunity to support Scottish talent – particularly in a year where the world’s eyes are on Glasgow. We’ve collaborated with Enable Scotland in the past and our design director is an alumina of Glasgow School of Art – it’s an honour to support these causes which are so close to our hearts."
