START Global Campus St. Gallen, Switzerland

“‘Long-term, sustainable entrepreneurial thinking and action is one of START Global’s core values, which is why we have equipped our campus almost exclusively with second-hand furniture.’ (…) Question: What feedback have you received from users and visitors to the space so far? – The users immediately felt at home and visitors have been very enthusiastic and like to come by for a coffee in addition to official events. That makes us happy because we’ve tried to create a place that people also enjoy using in their free time. The boundaries between work, eating, learning, relaxing, socialising, partying … are very fluid.’ Roland Schönholzer, Member Board of Trustees, START Foundation” Vitra Homepage

How to optimise working environments: Dynamic, communicative collaboration is central at Gore and the associates culture provides a good foundation for adopting new modes of office work. Back in 2019 Vitra was commissioned to team up with users to develop a future workplace in an open empty space, in order to enhance this special networking culture and its work structures and processes and implement them in new more flexible spatial concepts.

“Vitra’s Club Office: using our own spaces as a testing ground for our Research & Design team, Vitra’s Consulting & Planning team has built the first Club Office at our head office in Birsfelden, near Basel, Switzerland. People do not come to the office today for individual activities requiring concentration – they come because they have a desire to feel part of a larger whole, because they want to meet their colleagues, and because they seek new knowledge and experiences.”
