When coffee becomes a conversation

With ACTA.CAFÉ, König + Neurath is introducing a new product category for service, catering and social areas. König + Neurath is thus continuing its market and product strategy with another concrete product component. The ACTA.CAFÉ kitchen and service module is designed for situations where socialising and interaction go hand in hand. The product creates a clearly defined meeting point and supports a variety of uses: a quick break in the morning, a chat between two appointments, a team discussion or temporary work on a laptop.

ACTA.CAFÉ comprises three modules with integrated storage, a waste disposal system and refrigeration facilities: two stationary kitchen modules and a mobile service variant. This allows the product to be used in different ways depending on the layout and intended use – either permanently in a fixed location or flexibly wherever an additional meeting point is needed at short notice. When combined with the ACTA.PRO shelving system, a wide range of applications becomes possible for organising the space in relation to adjacent work areas. In this way, distinct café and communication areas can be defined without completely separating them from the rest of the room. Storage space, spatial organisation and the quality of the environment can thus be integrated into a single planning concept. In this way, ACTA.CAFÉ blends into existing working environments and enhances them with visible service and meeting points. “Not every discussion requires a meeting room, nor does every phase of work require a traditional desk. With ACTA.CAFÉ, we are deliberately creating a space that bridges the gap: for a short break, a spontaneous conversation, a small-group discussion or a temporary work situation. This versatility makes café zones an active part of everyday working life,” says Erik Schönfeld, Head of Innovation Management.

Following on from BLOOM.COLLECTION, ACTA.CAFÉ represents a further step in the ongoing development of the portfolio. The kitchen and service module is the response to changing market requirements. ACTA.CAFÉ creates a clearly defined space within office planning to fulfil this purpose. This opens up additional possibilities for use that support day-to-day working and specifically enhance open-plan areas with communicative functions.
