Heineken

Challenge Heineken was consolidating multiple locations into one new space.

Their new location was to support many people with various workstyles

and needs. It was important to provide hoteling suites for traveling

workers who needed a quiet place to work for only a short period of

time. Furniture solutions needed to maximize the open floor plan while

promoting an interactive working environment. Heineken wanted to

encourage innovation and creativity by creating spaces that would

support collaboration, brainstorming, and impromptu meetings. Not only

did Heineken want to create an efficient workplace, but they wanted to

enhance employee satisfaction and promote the Heineken brand with

contemporary design.

Challenge

Solution

Solution Hum. Minds at Work. was designed with ergonomics and collaboration

in mind. Heineken choose to use this product throughout the open plan.

It allowed for easy interaction, but still maintained personal space for

concentration and thoughtful individual work. Private offices with glass walls

displayed beautiful applications of Interworks EQ and Fluent casegoods.

The Fit lounge was used in fun, casual collaboration areas, and the Silver

task chair was used in executive areas to make an impression.

ResultHeineken’s forward thinking work environment fosters interaction and

productivity, while accommodating different workstyles and personalities.

Heineken’s vision was to infuse the company history and brand strength

into its new space, while implementing modern day work trends. With

various Kimball Office product solutions, Heineken has beautifully outfitted

their space to create an energetic, functional, and fun atmosphere.
