Team spirit as a success factor
Concept
An investment in top-quality work: when KMS AG refurbished and expanded its offices in Kriens, its primary goals were to ensure that all employees felt comfortable and to enhance teamwork. The combination of ergonomic workstations and newly created meeting zones has made this possible.
The concept
KMS AG develops software solutions for the public sector. The central success factor for their business is team project work. When it expanded its head office, the company took this as an opportunity to enhance teamwork by means of spatial design and office furnishings.
The refurbishment of the KMS offices was a matter of expansion rather than consolidation. Adding a second floor made it possible to make the workplace more spacious and attractive for employees. It also created space for growth, since the transition to a flexible-use concept enables the number of workstations to be increased in line with future requirements.
The interior design of the new offices is inspired by domestic spaces rather than classic office spaces. It consists of two areas in which Lista Office LO solutions play a key role. The first area contains employees’ personal workstations, each with a state-of-the-art sitting and standing table. The second area comprises meeting and communication zones – ranging from presentation and meeting rooms in a variety of sizes to special zones for standing meetings and break rooms that can also be used by project teams for spontaneous meetings.

The furnishings
Furnishings
Across an area of approx. 1,000 m2, these furnishing systems ensure optimum flow in the daily work at KMS AG:
- LO Extend Sitting/Standing Work Table
