OFFECCT
OFFECCT combines the Swedish word 'offentlig'—public space—with the English 'affect,' symbolising the resonance and connective power of furniture in shared spaces. Founded in 1990 by Kurt Tingdal and Anders Englund, OFFECCT has nurtured a belief that effective products and meaningful spaces emerge from a co–creative design process between manufacturers, designers, and architects. The brand empowers collaborators to explore concepts that stretch from radical to practical, merging visionary ideas with meticulous execution. Following through by supporting architects in activating and applying OFFECCT products in their own innovative projects. Since 2017, Offecct has been part of Flokk.
As the modern workspace and living environment trend towards open–plan designs, the need for versatile acoustic solutions have regained momentum. OFFECCT has teamed up with 8 designers part of MA Product Design from ECAL, led by course tutor Camille Blin to reinterpret the acoustic room divider. Acoustics has been a steady part of the OFFECCT's portfolio since the early 2000s and it is time for this category to question its own versatility and its influence on the well–being of our workplaces. How will these reimagined room dividers reshape office environments and serve contemporary work habits? Come and explore these proposals amongst a selection of OFFECCT's newest products.
