Resimercial Revolution: Teknion’s Vision for the Future of Work Design

Resimercial design is one of the latest design trends that is a fusion of “residential” and “commercial” elements in the contemporary workspace. The ultimate goal of this design style is to create a workspace that is not only comfortable and stylish but also maintains a professional look.

In a recent development, international brand Teknion Corporation recently unveiled its Collaboration Hub in Gurugram, India, showcasing the latest workplace concepts and products that are driving resimercial designs worldwide. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, the international brand is a global workspace solutions provider that offers a holistic range of products and services for the hybrid office. With over four decades of creativity and innovation, Teknion has cemented its reputation as an accomplished leader in the workspace services industry. Established in 1981 by visionary Saul Feldberg to address emerging patterns of living and working through cutting-edge technology, the brand remains committed to shaping the future of hybrid work with its brand triad: Teknion, Luum Textiles, and Studio TK.

Designer: Teknion

According to Greg Dekker- Vice President, Global Workplace Insights, Teknion “In today’s post-COVID world, with hybrid and work-from-home options becoming more prevalent, employee satisfaction has become a top priority for companies. To entice employees to come back to the office, the modern workspace needs to offer the same level of comfort as their home while still being in a professional environment”. Hence, resimercial design is the perfect solution as it not only ensures employee satisfaction, it allows creativity to flourish and also provides an excellent customer experience. “As the line between residential design and commercial design is disappearing, resimercial design is both functional and efficient, ensuring that employees reduce stress and enhance their productivity,” adds Patrick Forget, Managing Director APAC & EMEA.

As a result, there is a rise in resimercial spaces, and this design style is often used in commercial offices, residences, and public areas to give the decor a cozier and inviting feel.

What are the key elements of Resimercial Design?

• When designing a resimercial space, the basic layout and planning must incorporate flexible spaces that can be used for a variety of activities, such as meetings, conferences, and open workstations. The circulation pattern and free spaces must allow ample movement and promote interaction between colleagues.

• The material selection forms an essential component of the design strategy. There is an emphasis on natural materials like wood and stone to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

• One must beautify the space with plush furnishings in durable materials and tactile textures. Also, accessorize the area with interesting patterned rugs, lamps, and layered lighting to add a touch of luxury.

• Resimercial furniture offers comfortable seating typically associated with the familiarity of residential design. There is an emphasis on using sustainable and recycled materials that can reduce the carbon footprint of the office.

• Make it a point to add greenery to improve indoor air quality and impart an aesthetically pleasing look to the office décor. In addition, plants are a great way to reduce stress and anxiety and create a positive work environment.

Therefore, the primary goal of resimercial design is to create a warm and welcoming workspace that promotes relaxation and enhances productivity. The unique design style creates a human-centric environment that makes the office feel like home.

What are the ways in which Teknion has proposed and implemented the resimercial design style in the future workplace?

5. Seats with Wheels: The mobile seating allows employees to interact and move around the workspace easily.

7. Minimalist Furniture: Minimalist furniture creates a clean and uncluttered workspace, reducing distractions and promoting a sense of calm.

9. Ergonomic Furniture: Ergonomic furniture, such as perforated screens that can hold pen holders, and comfortable seating can help reduce strain on employees’ bodies and promote good posture.

10. Privacy Screens: Privacy screens offer employees an extra layer of privacy and can help reduce distractions in open-plan offices.
