Matteo Ragni: Hub

Fantoni presented at Biennale Interieur and then at Orgatec in Cologne, a modular office system created by Matteo Ragni for the contemporary way of working, efficient and flexible.

Today our way of working has changed completely. We are faster, more efficient, more flexible.

We have learnt to live with a nomadic approach, shedding our expectations of a daily routine that is becoming ever more fluid.

It is therefore no surprise that the demands regarding our working spaces should change too, becoming more flexible, hybrid, ready to change and adapt to different functions, numbers of people, or roles.

Matteo Ragni explains: “The Hub project arose from a real need to recreate a physical and mental space within a workplace inhabited by different people. A kind of wall-less box to facilitate the osmotic dimension of relating with spaces and people. A relationship-oriented workstation that can be personalized and rearranged to meet individual needs, the direct descendant of the Abitacolo combi-bed that Bruno Munari first dreamt up to combine the different activities in the day of an adolescent, and to map out the time for each one: rest/play/study/relationships.

From the use of a simple, large, square table, the idea arose to create a “four-poster” table, a mini-loft in which to work, rest, and feed on ideas, relations and good food, in a word, to live a space. And so this small, cubic world measuring just 160 cm becomes an ideal venue for our relationships and all that they require, a kind of portal enabling us to collaborate with colleagues near and far.”

Hub sets you free to personalize your workspace the way you want it with its modular system that can accommodate either independent workstations or multiple compositions. It is available with natural finishes for the top, with dove grey, stone grey and the radical solution of the ISB top in large-particle chipboard, contrasted with fabrics in audaciously bold colours: yellow, blue and orange.

Presented at Biennale Interieur, Hub is also on view at Orgatec.
