When the circumstances are right, work is a place you want to go — not somewhere you show up only out of duty or necessity. Coalesse knows a lot about crafting workplaces with this kind of pull. We think of them as places of purpose.
These comfortable, meaningful work destinations embody the belief that work is about people — it’s about human interaction, inspiration, invention and wellbeing. As the new Coalesse brand book puts it, we’re here to imbue the workplace with warmth, vitality and soul — whether indoors or out.
Today’s business challenges are more complex than those of decades past. The work employers are asking their teams to do is hard. So it follows that organizations should provide workplaces that enliven their people and energize them for the task. This is what we mean by vitality — work environments that can animate, motivate, invigorate, rejuvenate. Spaces that provide the spark for solving complex problems.
Vitality implies energy. This energy isn’t always conspicuous — often it’s a quiet, subtle force. Yet it always serves as the engine for creative problem-solving. How? Through sensory richness inspired by nature.
In addition, our vital work settings encompass a rich, thoughtful combination of color, pattern and materials that can enhance creative expression and transform the workplace.
In-between spaces with magnetic attraction. Settings like this one, featuring the outdoor EMU Heaven Table, Seating and Pouf, awaken team members to their work by helping them to get in the zone. This setting, photographed at the Steelcase Munich office, is an example of today’s vital spaces for focus and rejuvenation.
Bright, versatile café spaces. This vibrant corporate café doubles as a project/collaboration space that incorporates an appealing mix of materials: wood, stone, metal and carbon fiber. The setting includes the Potrero415 Table with stone top and graphite legs, the Enea Café Wood Stool, the LessThanFive Chair and the Montara650 Table.
With daily access to vital environments like these, workers feel more alive, more capable, more productive. They know they’re valued, trusted and respected — and they’re more likely to respond with the passion to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
