Lives Post + Beam

THIS PRODUCT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ORDER IN DECEMBER 2023.

From a sense of belonging to a culture of innovation.

Subtle, adjustable boundaries, offer places for authentic conversations, that build trust, care and a sense of belonging. These powerful connections will help teams collaborate more effectively and contribute to a creative and innovative team culture.

The goal was to add value. The interior is not just a wall dividing the space, but an interior that "fosters connections" between the team.

The times are changing dramatically, and remote work has become more prevalent, allowing for more freedom and flexibility in the way we work. On the other hand, the ability for individuals to work wherever they want can sometimes make it difficult to keep track of what is going on in the team.

In order to recognize each other and bring out the best in each other, it is essential to get together and work in a realistic environment, such as through " a casual exchange of information through chatting" and "fostering a sense of intimacy through face to face contact. In an age when people can work even when they are far away from each other, the office should be a platform where people can work while feeling connected to their colleagues.

Lives Architectural Products is a series of building materials that encourages team building and is ideal for the hybrid work era.

Activate communication and accelerate team building.

Flexible layout changes.

Light and easy to slide, the movable panels offer flexibility. Teams can simply adjust the boundaries for different activities or group sizes, at any time.

By setting up a room-in-room as a hub for the team, it will be easier for the team members to naturally get a sense of each other's true feelings and situations. This will help foster a sense of team intimacy and togetherness and foster innovation. Sliding panels can be adjusted according to the number of people using the room and the purpose of the meeting to create the most appropriate communication space at any given time.

Make your team more agile. Meetings can be more flexible.

Sliding panels with large casters that move easily allow you to share your ideas as quickly as possible.

Brainstorming and idea gathering require active meetings. Items on casters allow individuals or pairs of people to think together, or even to gather together to exchange ideas and organize ideas. Sliding panels can also be used to divide the space, making it more open when you want to include the opinions of those around you, or more private when you want to focus on the members of your group alone.

Flexible layout changes

A “room-within-a-room” to create diverse spaces.

Lives Post + Beam is a simple, modular system that can shape a range of new spaces in the open-plan office. The post and beam structure helps define zones that invite teams into diverse settings. A comfortable ‘room within a room’ can help teams to share and connect together. The system is simple to install, and requires no major construction work.

Flexible layout changes

Moving panels and curtains can be attached to the beam to change the room setup to suit the number of people in the team and the purpose of the room at any given time. The mobile panel with monitor is powered by an *OC portable battery and can be moved to any position without dependence on a power source.

*For more information about the availability of OC portable battery, please contact Okamura's Sales Office or Dealer in your country/region.

Sliding across the post

Flipping panels from front to back

Innovative Angled Rail

An angled rail allows movable panels to slide across the post. A T-junction ‘turning bay’ lets the team flip panels from front to back, or rearrange their order along the beam.

A wide variety of options

The beautiful appearance of this extremely simple product can be used in a variety of spaces. The frame colors range from vivid, which gives a playful feeling to the space, to subdued, which can be set up according to the purpose and use of the space. There are two types of panels: movable panels and fixed panels. Whiteboard panels and monitor panels, which are essential for meetings, as well as felt panels and curtains to block the line of sight are also available.

Interchangeable options

Board options (e.g. whiteboards) are common to SPRINT and can be interchanged between wall surfaces and furniture.

There are three types of panels: movable panels, fixed panels and full fixed panels. Full fixed panels are like an enclosed wall from beam to floor, while other panel types are semi enclosed, with a gap above and below.

Open + spandrel panels can be equipped with accessories such as a whiteboard, a sound-absorbing felt board, or a transparent acrylic board that can be used for writing and that does not obstruct the view.
