Heineken
Challenge
Heineken was consolidating multiple locations into one new space.
Their new location was to support many people with various workstyles
and needs. It was important to provide hoteling suites for traveling
workers who needed a quiet place to work for only a short period of
time. Furniture solutions needed to maximize the open floor plan while
promoting an interactive working environment. Heineken wanted to
encourage innovation and creativity by creating spaces that would
support collaboration, brainstorming, and impromptu meetings. Not only
did Heineken want to create an efficient workplace, but they wanted to
enhance employee satisfaction and promote the Heineken brand with
contemporary design.
Challenge
Solution
Hum. Minds at Work. was designed with ergonomics and collaboration
in mind. Heineken choose to use this product throughout the open plan.
It allowed for easy interaction, but still maintained personal space for
concentration and thoughtful individual work. Private offices with glass walls
displayed beautiful applications of Interworks EQ and Fluent casegoods.
The Fit lounge was used in fun, casual collaboration areas, and the Silver
task chair was used in executive areas to make an impression.
Result
Heineken’s forward thinking work environment fosters interaction and
productivity, while accommodating different workstyles and personalities.
Heineken’s vision was to infuse the company history and brand strength
into its new space, while implementing modern day work trends. With
various Kimball Office product solutions, Heineken has beautifully outfitted
their space to create an energetic, functional, and fun atmosphere.
