In modern working

environments,

office cafes have

evolved into adaptable

spaces that provide

more than traditional

breakout spaces, fostering

both work and relaxation.

While breakout spaces are traditionally

designed for short periods, offering facilities

such as coffee machines and tables, office cafe s consciously set out to foster productivity, creativity and social interaction.

“The Work Cafe takes inspiration from street cafe s and so-called third places and offers far more than just a space in a work context,” explains Ernst Holzapfel, Head of Marketing at Sedus Stoll AG. “When implemented correctly, it becomes a ductile place that adapts seamlessly to various work situations and needs. Users are free to decide whether they want to work informally on their own, come together in teams, communicate, network or simply relax over a good cup of coffee. In addition, the Work Cafe becomes an expression of the corporate culture and values. The approach developed by Sedus with the four archetypes – library, garden, club and hub – offers clear orientation and inspiration for successful implementation. After all, according to an M. Moser Study from 2023, 85% of people cite collaboration, socialising, and events as the primary reasons for coming to the office. This shows how crucial it is to design working environments that cater to these needs.”
