No Man Is An Island

As the conversation goes, today’s agile workforce really puts the pressure back on the individual to cultivate expert ‘people’ skills. Now more than ever, the emphasis lies on being able to successfully communicate with dispersed teams, to build strong relationships with the many personalities we must engage with on a day-to-day basis. It’s essential to productivity.

Kiik, designed by Ichiro Iwasaki for Arper, puts the emphasis on connectivity, offering up a modular collection of seating, tables, ottomans and consoles that act as islands for gathering. And much like a moving continent, it offers the possibility of endless configurations. The collection is also flexible to location, meaning that people can use it for meet and greets in waiting rooms, airport lounges, education spaces, workspaces and mixed-use spaces.

Kiik’s fundamental elements can be specified with tables in triangular, circular, square or rectangular shapes, and seats with/ without backrests. The range is completed by the addition of ottomans and low or raised consoles.

Its upholstery options encompass a wide variety of textures and colours allowing for ultimate creative expression. Designers, in particular, can combine diverse configurations for a dynamic and eye catching effect, or convey visually arresting patterns using repeated form. Kiik is ideally suited for any contract use, allowing you to create bespoke spaces that support essential activities of pausing, working and meeting.
