Office.Info October 2009
Dear Reader,
A musical entrance into the office. In this Trendletter, we recommend via Office.Playlist, compiled by Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd. They both run the renowned PearsonLloyd design studio in London. Together with Bene, they developed the PARCS furniture collection that has just been presented.
But more about that later. Now just lean back. Let yourself be carried away by rhythms, beats and melodies from different times, cultures and places: London, Africa, Ireland, Italy and more. Where PearsonLloyd found their inspiration. Powerful emotions await you. And a change of pace.
Read more about the design process behind PARCS in our first article, and more about the designers in the second article. We can also highly recommend a new book by Gerrit Terstiege that comprehensively covers "The Making of Design".

Enjoy the sound and the spirit,
The Bene Editorial Team
OFFICE TRENDS
With the completely new and unconventional PARCS furniture collection, Bene has responded to the need for new forms of productive communication in the office. Presented for the first time to a broader audience during Vienna Design Week, a panel at the Bene showroom on Renngasse in Vienna focussed on the creative tension of the design process, the working typologies of modern knowledge workers and the economic requirements that are placed on the product.
NEWS
A study on 'New Working Environments' was the starting point for the London design studio PearsonLloyd. The result is PARCS, an unconventional furniture set for diverse working landscapes. PARCS fulfils the need for productive communication and informal exchange in the office.
PARCS
Interior design, furniture design and consulting are as much a part of PearsonLloyd’s broad range of projects as are product design and structuring public spaces. No one can deny the versatility of the designers of the new Bene PARCS furniture set. And yet all of their work has one thing in common: its focus on people
