Play @ work: Master Oak in the office of the future

5 April 2023 2 min read

Trying to attract the brightest minds of today and tomorrow? An absolute breeze for Lighthouse! How? With an office design with a real wow-factor, unlimited ambition and exceptional playfulness in which Master Oak plays the leading role. Thanks to its wide range of applications, with wall panels and shelving, table tops and edging tape, Master Oak forms a common – or oak – thread throughout this modern office design.

"We wanted to work with materials that are hot,", says Buro Project partner Jurgen Taeldeman, "and wood structures and light wood colours are very popular these days. Master Oak Natural fulfils this wish perfectly and at the same time will be able to withstand the future thanks to its scratch-resistance and colour fastness. Jurgen concludes: "Master Oak is really tough and will retain its solid wood appearancein the long term. Its wide range of possible applications makes Master Oak the go-to material for a fashionable, heavily-used office environment".

Master Oak opens up a new world of creative possibilities for office interiors thanks to its application in Clicwall. Straight Clicwall wall panels were seamlessly and easily connected to the bespoke corner panels in OTA Insight’s office layout – also in Master Oak. This greatly increases the creative freedom for architects.

Managing director of the interior design company Meet n Greet Danny Ritzen also sees other advantages of Master Oak: "Most customers don't actually notice the difference when we place samples of real oak and Master Oak next to each other. That's when the scratch resistant, shock proof and colourfast characteristics of Master Oak come out on top."
