The BCO judges agreed that the \u2018workspace lab\u2019 for theCatapult is a collaborative and creative space that bothencourages collaboration with the wider industry, and providesa centre for debates, conferences and cultivation of ideas.They also noted that the careful use of \u2018earth tone\u2019 coloursfound in the city and crisp detailed timber surfaces bringsa warm, calm environment that ripples out from the centralwelcome space.At the heart of the space is the \u2018Welcome habitat\u2019 – atransparent reception. Within this dynamic, shared space, BossDesign supplied a range of furniture to meet the demands of avariety of transient and customer-facing roles. Luxurious softseating from the Marnie and Albany collections help bring aboutique hotel feel to the area, along with timber framed Agenttables, chairs and stools. For added vibrancy and energy, boldfabrics were used on the upholstery throughout.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Phil Whitfield, Property Project Manager at the Energy SystemsCatapult also commented: “Having visited Boss Design\u2019smanufacturing facility, it was nice to see traditional handcraftedskills still being nurtured and utilised. Their approach tosustainability was very important in our decision making process, aswell as being able to work with a local business.”Stressing the importance of creating habitats in the workplace,Oliver Ronald, Sales Director at Boss Design said: \u201cOffice workersneed to be able to continually switch between various modesof working throughout the day. By introducing habitats to theworkplace, the choice of office furniture will not only serve tosupport these modes of working, it will foster individual andcorporate wellbeing. When applied successfully, some workplacessuch as the Catapult don\u2019t even look or feel like an office at all.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
