Hybrid spaces, coworking and business corners: professional furniture for contemporary hotels
Modern hotels increasingly integrate areas dedicated to flexible work: coworking, business corners and light meeting rooms. These spaces require resistant furniture, integrated electrification, acoustic solutions and technical surfaces capable of supporting intensive use. The aim is to offer guests a professional, comfortable space consistent with the aesthetic identity of the property.

Typical configurations
Shared coworking in lobby or lounge area
Shared coworking tables with deep tops, integrated sockets and 1IM ergonomic seating. Ideal for lobbies, lounges and bar areas, they allow guests to work flexibly while maintaining good visual privacy and immediate access to electrical power.
Compact business corners for individual use
Single or double workstations created in niches, wide corridors or passage areas, with technical tops, adjustable seating and concealed cabling. Designed for quick email checks, small smart-working activities and support for business guests arriving or in transit.
Light and reconfigurable meeting areas
Meeting areas inside the hotel with modular tables on castors, stackable seating and displays for presentations. Perfect for short meetings, internal workshops, informal meetings with partners or small hybrid events, without needing dedicated conference rooms.
Shared coworking tables with integrated electrification
Hotel coworking tables must combine robustness, comfort and immediate connection. HPL or Fenix® tops offer a pleasant-to-touch surface that is scratch-resistant and easy to clean, while integrated power boxes, cable ducts and easily accessible sockets allow guests to connect laptops and devices without creating disorder.
The workstation layout is designed to ensure partial privacy: lightweight screens, adequate distances and well-positioned seating avoid visual and sound interference and help maintain a focused atmosphere even in shared environments. The result is truly usable workspaces that enhance business and bleisure stays.
Ergonomic seating for prolonged use and high comfort
Seating for coworking and business corners must ensure comfort even during prolonged work sessions. Ergonomic models with breathable mesh backrest, high-density padding, height, tilt and lumbar-support adjustments correctly support posture and reduce fatigue.
1IM fire-retardant certifications and technical upholstery suitable for hospitality guarantee safety and durability over time, even with high user turnover. The seating integrates with the hotel’s image through coordinated colour palettes and finishes consistent with the rest of the furniture.
Phone booths and acoustic solutions for call privacy and quick meetings
To make hybrid spaces truly functional, hotels need solutions dedicated to calls and quick meetings. Soundproof or semi-soundproof phone booths, sound-absorbing panels and acoustic dividers make it possible to create protected micro-zones where guests can make calls, video meetings or short meetings without disturbing other guests.
Reverberation reduction and visual privacy increase the perceived quality of the workspace and make concentration and confidentiality easier. Integrating these solutions into the hotel’s architecture and routes helps define a contemporary identity, attentive to the needs of the new “always connected” guest.
Light meeting areas with modular tables and integrable AV
Meeting areas in hotels must be quick to set up and simple to use. Modular tables on castors, lightweight and stackable seating, integrated sockets and displays for presentations allow the space to switch in just a few minutes from a lounge area to an operational meeting room.
These light environments support short meetings, workshops, product presentations or informal meetings with clients and partners. The integration of ready-to-use AV solutions, such as monitors, video conferencing systems and plug & play connectivity, makes meeting areas competitive with traditional rooms, with greater flexibility and fewer booking constraints.
