Designing Flexible Office Environments
Flexible, modular systems built around what people actually need
A retreat space or a collaborative hub? A creative ideation zone or a focused work area? Designing modern workplaces means constantly reimagining what's possible. Because office spaces must serve as many different needs as there are people working in them. The traditional desk has evolved into something far more dynamic: a hybrid spatial concept that's adaptable, inspiring, and endlessly reinventable.
As a leading office furniture manufacturer and champion of holistic workspace design, Assmann recognised these evolving needs early on and created solutions that adapt to people and their work – not the other way around. The philosophy centres on flexible, modular systems that put individual needs first and can be reconfigured effortlessly as requirements change. Three standout examples embody this vision perfectly: Cantaris, Cubas Flex and Syneo Part Wondawall. Together, they create work environments that respond to your needs and inject fresh energy into the office – combining mobile project, seminar and bistro tables with multifunctional seating and storage solutions, plus a supremely adaptable partition wall that's as much a design statement as it is functional.
Cantaris: When Ideas Demand Space
Anyone who's planned a workshop knows the frustration: fixed room layouts and rigid furniture that kills creative momentum. Enter Cantaris. This product range is genuine freedom of movement for the office. The tables are mobile and transform with your needs in seconds. Fold the optional tabletops down and unused furniture vanishes, opening up space for genuine creative work. A morning project meeting, afternoon workshop, team lunch in between – with Cantaris, any space becomes an agile, dynamic environment. Choose from timeless white, black and grey, or warm natural wood finishes that blend with any design. Want more colour? Seven on-trend shades for frames and tops offer harmonious tone-on-tone combinations that turn any area into an inspiring, comfortable workspace.
Sustainability is built into Cantaris from the ground up: manufactured at ASSMANN's Melle facility using certified materials from Germany and Europe, it's engineered for the circular economy. Reversible joints enable tool-free disassembly; trendy finishes use 100 % recycled waste wood; and every plastic component is marked for optimal recycling. The lightweight, robust Consento Bergamo stacking stool completes the system perfectly – and pairs with an optional regionally sourced felt wool cushion for added comfort.
Cubas Flex: One System, Infinite Possibilities
Your team needs a briefing stand this morning, a creative lounge this afternoon, and a presentation zone with workstations tomorrow? Cubas Flex makes it effortless. These multifunctional modules reconfigure without tools and combine endlessly – workstations, shelving, mobile seating, and more. Add optional planters and transform Cubas Flex into a living design feature for your office jungle. By the time your espresso arrives, that spontaneous coffee station for client meetings is ready. Smooth-rolling castors keep everything mobile, ideal for companies that value both flexible event spaces and quiet retreat zones. The real magic? Cubas Flex integrates seamlessly with existing Cubas storage solutions, creating a system that grows with your business and adapts to every new vision.
Syneo Part Wondawall: The Partition That Transforms
Need to divide space without building work? Syneo Part Wondawall makes it happen. This mobile partition adapts to your needs – privacy screen, whiteboard, shelving, presentation surface, or planted feature – bringing flexibility and a touch of green to the office.
Smooth-rolling castors make repositioning intuitive and effortless. Temporary meeting zone? Done. Focused work in an open plan? Absolutely. Sound-absorbing versions target acoustics without sacrificing the openness that defines contemporary offices. Syneo Part Wondawall gives you complete design freedom—from verdant statement pieces to functional media surfaces, it adapts precisely to your corporate culture and working style.
New Work: Reimagined for Every Organization
Flexibility isn't a luxury for creative startups—it's essential for every organization, from mid-market companies to large enterprises. The reality in most offices: work is evolving faster than spaces can adapt. Home offices, project teams, spontaneous collaboration, hybrid arrangements—they all demand environments that flex and respond.
ASSMANN has the solutions. Our flexible offerings enable tailored spatial concepts that can be reimagined daily. Working with specialist retailers, we help you create holistic environments that grow with your needs, perform brilliantly, and set new standards for workplace design.
