The office is no longer just a place to work. In an era defined by collaboration, creativity, and connection, workspaces need to encompass so much more. At the forefront is Actiu.

Spanish commercial furniture brand Actiu has a mission to design environments where people thrive. Guided by a philosophy of Life Friendly Spaces, Actiu crafts offices that prioritise well-being alongside productivity, but most importantly human connection.

It’s about more than just aesthetics – it’s a reinvention of the workplace. Actiu’s designs encourage people to work smarter, not harder, in spaces that energise, inspire and support them. It’s a vision that challenges the traditional boundaries of office design, replacing rigidity with adaptability and purpose.

Quiet Revolution – Qyos Acoustic Pods

“Qyos acoustic pods effectively solve the need for isolation and privacy in open spaces. They allow adequate acoustic insulation, while providing ergonomic and comfort to the user,” explain R+D+I Actiu, the designers of Qyos.

Open-plan offices may have revolutionised the way we work, but they’ve also brought challenges. Actiu has responded to this with Qyos, innovative acoustic pods that offer a solution to the noise and distraction of modern workplaces. These pods are more than just quiet spaces, they’re sanctuaries for focus and creativity. Available in five configurations, Qyos caters to a range of needs, from solo work to small group collaboration.

With features like acoustic insulation, ergonomic comfort and seamless connectivity, Qyos transforms the experience of working in open environments. Its robust finish, intuitive lighting, and fast assembly make it a practical and stylish solution for today’s agile offices.

Agility in Action

Workplaces today are as fluid as the teams that inhabit them. Actiu’s Agile Collection is designed to embrace this dynamism, offering versatile pieces that can reconfigure spaces effortlessly.

The Caddy range, including Caddy 500 and Caddy Tubbe, bring adaptability and flexibility for truly agile working. The system allows for the integration of whiteboards, screens and ‘micro architectures’ all with features like sound-absorbing finishes and hidden cable management.

The Grada modular seating system adds another layer of versatility, transforming into benches, platforms, or storage as needed. Complementary pieces like Side Table, with its asymmetrical silhouette, and rotating Dividers, provide practical solutions for hybrid and collaborative workspaces. Meanwhile, Fonoabsorbent Panels offer an elegant way to reduce noise and maintain focus.

Sustainability at the Core with Fluit

Sustainability is embedded in Actiu’s DNA, exemplified by the award-winning Fluit. Made entirely from recycled fibreglass and polypropylene sourced from European agricultural waste, Fluit sets a benchmark for environmentally conscious design.

Its seamless silhouette, inspired by the sails of a ship, combines strength and lightness, while its soft touch and flowing lines make it both practical and inviting. Whether with or without armrests, or paired with a padded cushion, Fluit delivers flexibility and elegance for modern offices.

Noom – A Personalised Approach to Comfort

For spaces that demand both comfort and customisation, the Noom collection offers endless possibilities. Noom 50 integrates ergonomic support with options like high stools for collaborative environments, while Noom 60 provides versatile frames, from sleek metal to warm wood. With each piece, Actiu balances artisan upholstery with cutting-edge technology, creating furniture that is as functional as it is beautiful.

For Actiu, the workplace is more than a collection of desks and chairs – it’s a space for human connection, growth and creativity. By integrating pieces like Qyos, the Agile Collection, Fluit, and Noom, Actiu proves that design can be both practical and inspiring. It’s an approach transforms offices into dynamic, life-friendly spaces where work and life come together seamlessly.
