Hive.

flexible modular seating

2 3

has spent the last two decades designing and refining ways to connect 1st, 2nd and 3rd workspaces through innovative seating.

The concept of the Liquid Workspace is born out of our understanding of how technology is changing the way people work and how it has connected different spaces within the workplace.

To take advantage of these changes now and in the future, businesses must create agile workspaces that encourage collaboration, communication and the free exchange of ideas, whilst providing privacy and space for concentration.

Hive is our latest range of modular seating, designed and manufactured here in the UK. It exemplifies this new thinking by giving designers everything they need to create Liquid Workspaces with dynamic layouts for busy work environments.

Hive seamlessly integrates technology including WiFi, Bluetooth, smart TVs and presentation displays, allowing people to work in the way that makes them most productive and fulfilled.

With Hive seating, the Liquid Workspace becomes the perfect workspace for now and one that naturally anticipates the future.

1Hive’s modular system is available in three variations, making it easy to design flexible spaces in a variety of environments, offices, universities and libraries, plus airports and transport stations.

Rarely does one solution fit all, that’s why Hive one, two and three can be configured to provide seating and work tables for open spaces, semi-private and private spaces in an infinite number of situations.

In all configurations Hive can integrate technology to allow people to work freely and collaboratively.
