1 Workbays 90 Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2014 Workbays 90 Vitra introduced Workbays in 2012 as a flexible solution for creating places to retreat as well as meeting areas and task-oriented spaces in open office enironments. Workbays 90 now supplement this product range with workspaces that combine the requirements of a functional office system with an initing, relaxed atmosphere. Today s digital technologies make it possible for people to work irtually anywhere. In the office, they also want the freedom to choose between facilities suited for communication, teamwork or priacy, depending on the task at hand. Workbays 90 offer options that extend beyond current furniture typologies. The ersatile system lends structure and order to spaces, creating a home within the office for indiiduals as well as teams. In open-plan offices, Workbays 90 proide for the dierse needs of employees on a new leel. The wall panels of Workbays 90 shield users both isually and acoustically from surrounding actiity, and their rounded forms and textile textures create a comfortable enironment with a casual ambience. A Workbays interior can be adapted quite easily to changing conditions, since the structural components are lightweight and do not necessitate permanent installations. Thanks to their rectangular layout, Workbays 90 facilitate efficient spatial planning. Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec The brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec lie and work in Paris.

6 USEFUL FACTS ABOUT POLYESTER FLEECE ACOUSTICS The structure of Workbays 90 consists of slim aluminium profiles and organically shaped wall elements made of pressed polyester fleece. The use of this light and robust material is a groundbreaking innoation in the furniture sector. It helps to reduce noise and gies the office furniture system an initing isual look and appealing textile feel. Slender in appearance yet remarkably sturdy and stable, Workbays 90 are aailable in a range of colours. Along with comfortable climate and lighting conditions, good acoustics is one of the most important factors of well-being in the workplace. Office designers typically address this aspect with special acoustic products such as ceiling panels. But office furnishings with sound-absorbing properties can also make a significant contribution. The effectieness of soundabsorbing elements depends on their material, thickness and area within the gien space. A series of comparatie measurements were carried out for Workbays 90. In a partition simulation, the reerberation time was reduced by an aerage of 65 percent in the releant frequency range of Hz. At 500 Hz, for example, the reerberation time in an empty room came to approximately 4.0 seconds (reerberation similar to an indoor swimming pool); with partition elements, the figure was reduced to approximately 1.5 seconds. This is a comfortable leel for a conference room. Straight, indiidual polyester fleece elements reduce the perception of noise in a room by approximately 50 percent, meeting the leels for sound absorption class D, despite their thin 12 mm wall structure. Due to the organic shapes and arious configurations of complete Workbay installations, which are often augmented by upholstered elements, an een greater leel of sound absorption is achieed. MAINTENANCE Made of pure polyester in arious colours, Workbays 90 wall panels are thermoformed by the application of heat and pressure. Despite the thin wall structure (12 mm), they retain their shape and effectiely reduce ambient noise. All elements are three-dimensionally moulded and articulated with a linear grid at interals of 13 cm. Simple maintenance Workbay wall panels are easy to clean and maintain. The fine-pored, relatiely non-absorbent surface of polyester fleece preents liquids from immediately penetrating the fibres. Stains can be aoided by quickly wiping the surface with a damp cloth before liquids hae a chance to soak in. Recommendations for maintenance: ƒ Vacuum regularly (no brush attachment) and always treat stains as quickly as possible. ƒ Blot liquid spills. ƒ Remoe dried-on debris with a putty knife or apply a ery soft brush in the direction of the fibres. ƒ Commercially aailable dry foam is suitable for stain remoal. Fire resistance The polyester fleece wall panels hae been tested in accordance with the European DIN EN classification for building materials, under which they meet 'B-s2, d0' fire resistance standards (low flammability). 6 info@itra.com EN

7 CONNECTORS The patented connecting elements and structural design of Workbays ensure quick and easy assembly. All panels and aluminium connectors hae an interlocking 130-mm grid along their sides, proiding a lock-and-key system for adjoining elements. This makes it possible to assemble the walls of Workbays piece by piece. Only one screw per connector is necessary to secure the top and hold the wall elements in a stationary position. info@itra.com EN
