In today's rapidly changing professional landscape, the office is no longer a static environment. As companies continue to embrace hybrid working models and flexible teams, the need for adaptable, people-centric workspaces has never been greater. In collaboration with Foster + Partners Industrial Design, UniFor has responded to this shift with the XYZ collection, a suite of modular, versatile furniture designed to meet the dynamic needs of contemporary workplaces.
The collection features three key products: the X Shelving System, the Y Table, and the Z Desk—each designed to support a range of working styles while maintaining a harmonious visual language.
X: Shelving System
A defining element of the collection, the X Shelving System transcends conventional storage. Its sleek, linear design functions both as an organizational solution and an elegant spatial divider in open-plan environments. Engineered with meticulous attention to detail, the modular shelving allows for flexible configurations, creating semi-private workspaces or larger collaborative zones. Its adaptable structure aligns with the dynamic nature of modern offices, enabling seamless transitions as spatial needs evolve without compromising the aesthetic integrity.
Y: The Lightweight Table
Central to the collection's versatility, the Y Table features a Y-shaped leg structure that maximizes support with minimal material use. Lightweight and functional, it offers flexible seating arrangements and can be easily stored when not in use. Available in a range of refined finishes—from natural wood veneers to contemporary laminates—the Y Table integrates seamlessly into both formal meeting rooms and more informal open spaces, balancing elegance with practicality.
Z: The Height-Adjustable Desk
The Z Desk, a manually adjustable sit-stand workstation, reflects the growing emphasis on well-being in workplace design. Offering intuitive, non-electric height adjustment, it allows users to alternate between sitting and standing positions effortlessly. The Z Desk's sleek materials and understated design provide a practical yet sophisticated solution, promoting ergonomic health while maintaining the simplicity and refinement expected in high-performance work environments.
A New Era for Office Design
The XYZ collection exemplifies adaptability in response to the evolving demands of the modern workplace. Each product—whether used individually or as part of a cohesive suite—fosters environments where focused work and dynamic collaboration coexist. Foster + Partners' signature integration of form and function is evident in this collection, creating workspaces that are as inspiring as they are productive. As businesses prioritize flexibility and sustainability, UniFor and Foster + Partners set a new benchmark in industrial design, offering solutions that meet current needs while accommodating future reconfigurations. By combining X, Y, and Z, companies can cultivate office ecosystems that nurture creativity, collaboration, and well-being in equal measure.
