Ethos

Going to work should not feel nor behave as a “human factory� in which personal time is so short that there is not change to recharge energies and neither a space equipped for an inspiration finding or just spending those thirty minutes of your free time reading in calm place or making a phone call with a friend and laugh. Current method of working is based on a full time focus in production and leaving to a second plane personal time and space.

About us Target

Who are we?

Machines or humans?

Our target is to provide existing offices with an extra program that allows their employees to distress, to relax, to have a personal time in private space which could result in an improvement of their wellbeing and be able to implement a “smart production� philosophy in their job environment.

SpaceEgg

In offices

SpaceEgg placed in an office provides the extra program that, in most cases, it is not possible to obtain by creating partition wall of building an extra room. They allow employees and students to have better concentration levels by recharging their energies inside this new space created.

13

While the external space remains intact in it’s program, SpaceEgg brings a new way of perceiving furniture in which it just not surprise by it’s range of dynamic uses but also by its cozy look and neutral form which allows it to be placed in most offices that want to implement this philosophy.

SpaceEgg

On the outside

When internal space does not allow SpaceEgg to exist by physical constrictions, outside area becomes a perfect host for those that would like to spend time in a open area while keeping their personal space.

17

Contemporary designers are realizing that outside space such as gardens or internal patios could host an extra program that is not happening in the inside. SpaceEgg comprehends solar panels placed at top that powers internal lighting and charging ports for electrical devices making it a juicy place for people to use.

The whole concept run in a personal space to relax and disconect from an stressful environment which will deliver a better production. This is only appreciated in big companies such as Facebook or Google centers in which employees are treated as part of the company and not just a wheel of a bigger industrial factory.

External skin

The structure is based in a intersecting wood planks that minimizes the cost of production as it can also be build in-situ, it will reduce the cost of delivering too. The external skin provides a texture that is pleasant to the touch and give on organic feeling while the internal skin provides the cosy atmosphere that employees needs to relax in a private space.
