Office.Info June 2010
Dear Reader,
We are all looking forward to a great event coming up - the World Cup in South Africa - and this is your chance! Win a Bene AL_Kicker football table – more information is available on our Facebook page.
You can only win if you use your space right – be it on the football pitch or in the office. When you add creative collaboration the chances of success are good: Join Brigitte Schedl-Richter in taking a look at the depths of space at betahaus, the new team project and office type for coworking in Berlin.
Dive into the depths of modern offices – depth in the sense of differentiated design – that’s the topic of the article "Creative Office, or: Spaces are intelligent too".
Let’s go even deeper, to the fundaments of planning and selecting an office type. We’ll introduce you to a new option for partitioning called the RM Room Module, developed from of the depths of space...
This time we wish you fun at the games, plenty of chances and goals, lots of good luck and happiness.
Yours, the Bene editorial team
PERSONALITIES
A cutting-edge office: In our conversations with contemporaries, we examine the claims, clichés and ideals that circulate about our workplaces. This time, Madeleine v. Mohl, co-founder of betahaus in Berlin, explains both how her idea of an office works and how offices function in betahaus. Interviewed by Brigitte Schedl-Richter.
OFFICE TRENDS
The age in which a desk and computer defined the workplace is almost over. In the age of the knowledge economy, the workplace is more than just a surface on which people write and supposedly focus. In modern offices, the workplace includes the entire infrastructure that people use: different zones and areas.
OFFICE TRENDS
Office layouts and spaces aren’t created by chance. They are the result of a carefully considered concept – or at least they should be. Because a conscious decision can support future work in an ideal manner. The new Bene product catalogue offers insights into this topic.
TRENDS
The work environment is in a state of upheaval, constantly networked in streams of communication and knowledge transfer. That’s stressful. Thankfully, there is furniture that defuses this stress by giving everyone the space they need: for storage, deep breathing, quiet privacy and exchange with others. The RM Room Module is the perfect dividing wall system for the media age.

There are many different names for tabletop football: foosball, fusball, fooseball, foozball, foozi... But the moment four people step up to the table they work as a team. People hardly ever work together this passionately.
