Xbrick® was presented alongside the 758divide product series, developed for wp_westermann products, flomoand motu at Orgatec 2022, the leading trade fair for modern work environments. Under the slogan “in good company,” the new product and space solutions that support agile work processes were introduced. At the front corner of the booth, various seating islands made of colorful Xbrick® invited visitors to linger and encouraged them to assemble furniture on their own.

The Xbrick Grandstand was used as a seating gallery for presentations. The three different heights of the multifunctional stool demonstrated how varied seating and standing heights can be achieved.

The space companion, an exhibition and seating module made from a U-shaped wooden profile and Xbrick, was designed for Orgatec and demonstrated how event spaces can be furnished.

On the other half of the booth, individual workspaces were set up, showing how teamwork zones, individual workstations, and areas that encourage movement for active breaks can be designed.

The repurposed X-table as a ping-pong table provided even more activity and fun, encouraging visitors to engage in active competition.

Research into circular design approaches doesn’t stop at Xbrick. At Orgatec, a prototype of the multifunctional Xbrick stool made from mushroom-based material was presented, demonstrating the extent to which this bio-based material can be used in the furniture industry. In the Materials4Future special exhibition area, the Xbrick grown—made from hemp shavings and mycelium—was an exhibit situated between forward-looking materials research and products made from organic composites.
