Danish-Canadian industrial designer Niels Bendtsen has designed Jetty: Mod for Allsteel, a modular sofa with the flexibility to solve for the needs of the modern workplace today, and the adaptability to accommodate new workplace considerations in the future.
With work happening everywhere, and business needs more variable, Jetty:Mod optimizes user posture and comfort for work away from the desk, whether the goal is a change of scenery, collaboration with team members, or focused individual work and privacy.
Bendtsen has brought his characteristic elegance to Jetty:Mod, designing a system that is grounded in technical excellence while offering a clean, contemporary aesthetic that can define a new workplace as easily as it can complement existing designs.
Comprising a suite of arms, legs, cushions, tables, and screens, Jetty:Mod supports both individual and group activities in workspaces and private offices, cafes, atriums, and all the ancillary spaces in between.
Jetty:Mod’s true modularity makes designing easy with broad versatility in application.
The new system’s curvilinear and linear forms are available in a variety of upholstery, laminate, and metal finishes for residentially inspired layering or coordinating across environments.
Tailored versions for work or lounge applications offer different heights and depths, enable several work modes, and solve for activity-specific needs.
The kit-of-parts can even be exchanged or added to overtime, allowing designers to scale solutions to different work settings and activate, utilize, and adapt all spaces.
Jetty: Mod is also an ideal choice for influencing circulation patterns or distancing individuals, while anticipating the possibility of any future need for alterations.
With workspaces, social interactions, and expectations for the workplace in flux, modular furniture that can change with evolving needs and norms is extremely relevant.
The Jetty: Mod offering provides elements for separating and distancing along with components for sharing and huddling.
