Work.Life needed a furniture partner who could match their ambition for The Typewriter Building, a space designed to inspire flexibility, wellbeing and community in equal measure. Working closely with our sister company, Two, we sourced and supplied a full furniture package to support their vision across seven floors of shared workspace.

Blending Colour, Comfort, and Purpose

We worked with an inspiring mix of colours, textures, and forms to reflect the playful, people-first design by Two. Soft seating in rich velvets and warm leathers brought lounge areas to life, while bold tones like yellow, denim blue, and rose added character to meeting rooms, booths and banquette areas. Each setting had its own identity, with the furniture tying it all together.

Meeting rooms featured a mix of Rawside and Howe tables in oak, quartz, and brick finishes, paired with Hay AAC 123 chairs upholstered in Kvadrat fabrics for comfort, durability and tone. Even the power modules were considered: flush-fitted units with pass-throughs and USB-C compatibility helped support Work.Life’s tech-enabled spaces without visual clutter.

Making Shared Space Work Smarter

The café and banquette areas combined Rawside tables with bespoke Davison Highley seating in Ultraleather and velvet to deliver comfort and practicality. Agile settings were equipped with stackable Allermuir Kin chairs and Ondarreta Hari stools in terracotta frames for a bold, playful finish.

Desking areas were fitted with Nowy Styl workstations and Haiken Lasdun task chairs, which combine ergonomic support with integrated cable trays and desktop modules. Collaboration tables were finished in Traffic Grey, RAL blues, and Mustard, showing just how far colour can go in expressing brand personality and zone distinction.
