Knotel launches a specialized office furniture subscription service. Embracing the rental economy, the option boasts a certain level of flexibility and adaptability. The offering will feature pieces from the company's newest collection — 'Geometry.'
The capsule is made up of modular furniture pieces that effortlessly answer the dynamic demands of the contemporary office. The service adds another layer of convenience for businesses who need a quick turn-over and a temporary set-up. The furniture subscription plan makes various items available for short- or long-term use — from "collapsible meeting rooms [and] portable phone booths" to "double-L couches with high walls" and so on.
Knotel's venture in this new business model comes at a good time as the traditional structure of office environments is disrupted by new technology and the gig economy.
