A theme in quest for the creative place; via cutting out big holes, one can create voids in the office plan which seems impossible in the overclogged layouts of our present time. Creating voids for areas of non-work places, we are faced with the archaic settlement of a communal place…

Oblivion is conceived as a very basic geometry, the conical shape provides many structural advantages apart from an aesthetic statement. All the vertical posts and brackets that are holding the horizontal surfaces, are pointing to the central point of the structure.

Therefore, all the vertical surfaces support the horizontal ones and vice versa. Thus, we can have all the shelves, desktops, seating units, etc, without the use of any leg supports. This provides a great freedom in practical use as well as a visual lightness to the design, where all horizontal surfaces are floating freely without a distruption of a column.

Each unit is constructed in several steps decided together with the architect and the customer. The first step is the floor diameter, the second decision is the height and the top diameter, thus a void is constructed in volume. Finally, the decisions for the inner construction and functions are made. This concerns the planning of the shelves, desks, cabinets, seats etc, depending on the desired performance that this void is dedicated to.

The next decision involves the electrical and electronical equipment, where the vertical and horizontal wiring can easily be conducted accordingly through the aluminium extruded beams. Following this, lighting solutions can be planned as LED strips in the vertical beams where necessary. Finally, the outer surface cover is installed. The colour can be selected in a presented fabric chart or again be developed uniquely with the customer if needed.
