Project Description
There is a growing demand across sectors for casual, flexible spaces that blur the work/life boundary. Human-centered spaces emphasize soft qualities, engage the senses, and are designed to support wellness and comfort.
Cuckooz Nest is a hybrid workspace that unites under the same roof a fully flexible Ofsted-registered nursery and an integrated workspace for parents and children under two. Cuckooz Nest is a contemporary workspace in London combining an office space alongside a nursery. The community offers working parents the opportunity to seamlessly transition between work and life, for example, taking a conference call while being close enough to breastfeed their children.
Together with Leo Wood, Interior Designer at Kinder Design, they decided to join forces to create a design-led workplace catered to the needs of new parents.
Arper Catifa 46 chairs were selected as part of the design for the main co-working space area, creating a soft, human-centered atmosphere while promoting collaboration, creativity, and productivity.
“For the design of Cuckooz Nest, we wanted to create a workspace that was vibrant and at the same time warm and cozy. We fell in love with the Arper Catifa 46 chairs and we wanted to make them central to our design. The color palette was perfect. With this Catifa chair we were able to create a really stylish look for our main workspace table, making it feel more like a homely kitchen table than a meeting room table." Said Fabienne O’Neill, co-founder of Cuckooz Nest.
