Dubbeldam: modular pop-up office

On the occasion of the Toronto Interior Design Show 2013, Canadian architecture and design studio Dubbeldam has presented a modular pop-up office, a flexible, adaptable space composed of wooden modular units, facilitating individual work and collaboration.

On the occasion of the Toronto Interior Design Show 2013, Canadian architecture and design studio Dubbeldam has presented a modular pop-up office developed for Steel Space. Using modular units built out of reclaimed wood pallet boards and their frames, a series of separate volumes can be combined in different ways, creating a workspace that facilitates individual work and collaboration. The space adapts to become a workspace, collaborative space, and lounge area.

"There has been a profound shift in the way we work; when all we need is a surface to work on and a place to plug in, the working environment is no longer static," state Dubbeldam. "Mobility, adaptability and flexibility are the new key elements of the modern office."

The reclaimed boards morph from the wall and floor into furniture elements, sanded where the human body comes in contact with the wood and left rough where it does not. The modules are comprised of separate planes (floor, wall, ceiling) and furniture elements that are assembled in different configurations. Modular shelves can be inserted into slots between wall boards, creating adjustable display and storage areas. Smaller ledges slide into gaps between the wood slats.

"The pop-up office embodies adaptability," state Dubbeldam. "The space itself morphs in conjunction with workplace needs."
