1 Thanks to their versatility, Alias design products often reveal a strong vocation for furnishing office interiors, a field of application which, in its multifarious expressions, is equally well suited to this increasingly vast, consistent and homogeneous product catalogue.

2 Workspaces Team space / Private office Alias products are defined by a light and austere linearity which materializes in the shape of comfortable chairs and tables, able to switch with nonchalant elegance from the more private dimension of a home office to executive offices or operative work spaces. In this way, the office atmosphere acquires luminosity and lightness, thanks to the presence of work tables and operative seating which deliver a performance of great functional flexibility in an extremely simple fashion.

3 Team space The Team Space interpreted by Alias is a flexible environment, one which may therefore be adapted to the requirements and roles of each member of the group while facilitating their interaction. TABLE: Tec System / CHAIR: Slim Task / BOOKSHELF: Aline

4 Team space Alias fully understands the need to offer alternative solutions within the same working environment, more and more often based on the open plan concept. For the purpose of aligning all the multitasking activities of a company, Alias has created a vast range of modular and sectional products. TABLE: Tec System / CHAIR: Norma / BOOKSHELF: Aline

5 Team space In the 4.0 office, past functions are combined with future forms. Smart workplaces become the perfect ambit of application for innovative Alias design. TABLE: Tec System / CHAIRS: Segesta studio

6 Private office Those activities requiring a certain level of concentration or greater confidentiality are mainly carried out in closed spaces. Apart from privacy, an important advantage offered by the Private Offices is the possibility to personalize interiors. TABLE: Tavolo Zero / CHAIRS: Rollingframe Bigframe 44 / CABINET: Mobile Zero

7 Private office The widespread use of home offices has led Alias to design Private Office furnishings which suit office and residential environments.

8 Meeting spaces Small meeting room / Large meeting room / Meeting lounge Great ideas see the light when many people share their views, and this is what generates business. With Meeting Room environments in mind, Alias has dedicated a vast range of products offering greater spatial modularity. Furniture layouts that adapt to any type of situation accompany the business in the course of its evolution.

9 Small meeting room The size of an office does not determine the importance of the decisions taken within, but when the available space is limited, it may be useful to prioritize the functionality of the objects it contains.

10 Large meeting room The quality standard of the Meeting room range is raised even further to enable it to adapt to the needs of different types of users. TABLE: Frametable / CHAIR: Meetingframe 44

11 Large meeting room Meetings involving a large number of participants may be held frequently or occasionally. Alias designs modular products for versatile interiors, by optimizing the available space with a view to the various contemplated activities. TABLE: Frametable / CHAIR: Bigframe 44

12 Large meeting room The impossibility to foresee the length of any meeting is also reflected in the Meeting Room product design conceived by Alias, constantly committed to focusing on the comfort and aesthetic of its furnishings, for the benefit of meeting participants.

13 Meeting lounge 4.0 companies prefer to hold more informal meetings. The design of the Eleven high back lounge armchairs fits into a contemporary context. In this case, the shape of the armchair itself guarantees the privacy of an impromptu meeting held in open plan offices or corridors. SOFÀ: Eleven high back /TABLE: Biplane

14 Further areas Conference room / Waiting area / Break area The growing responsibility of designers in planning spaces and objects that are increasingly peopleoriented defines the top priorities of contemporary society. Alias follows the evolution of community living by studying innovative solutions for interiors that are often endowed with specific functions such as Conference Rooms, Waiting Areas and Break Areas to which more traditional functions are added.

15 Conference room The Alias proposal for conference rooms are furnishing elements capable of shaping the environment and adapting to the type of contemplated interaction. TABLE: Frametable / CHAIR: Meetingframe 44

16 Conference The ability of designers to grasp users needs is attributable to Alias knowhow in the ambit of Workspaces. The Frame chair is a lightweight structure, even in the Bigframe version, and may be stacked to save space. Its comfort makes it equally well suited to lengthy or brief events, while its refined minimalist aesthetic reflects the timeless signature of the Alias style. TABLE: TEC / CHAIR: Bigframe 44

17 Waiting area Waiting is often an opportunity to get on with private or interpersonal business. According to the Alias philosophy, waiting areas, more than any other type of space, need to reflect the concept of work in progress, rather than serve as mere places in which to hang about. Manzù, the iconic armchair by the eponymous designer Pio Manzù, expresses a pronounced aerodynamic form, while continuing to be an up-to-the-minute interpretation of the frenetic pace of contemporary society.

18 Waiting area A soft and appealing design can mitigate the boredom of waiting, enabling the user to while away the time in a carefree and stimulating way. TABLE: Atlas / SOFÀ: TT soft SOFÀ & TABLE: Okome

19 Waiting area For Alias, performance and a long lifespan are fundamental in any design product dedicated to Waiting Areas, places which are subject to an intense flow of users and constant use, as in airports, hospitals and places of entertainment. CHAIRS: Floatingframe

20 Break area Break Areas are conceived for sharing or experiencing individually. Whatever the case, extreme comfort and an appealing design are paramount in the vision of Alias designers. TABLE: Biplane high / STOOL: Tindari

21 Break area Alias believes it is of vital importance to stimulate the interaction between work colleagues, even when they are taking a break. The surfaces of Tec System tables may be connected to each other to facilitate team dialogue. TABLE: Tec system +CHAIR: Laleggera

22 Break area The past experience of Alias in the contract business enables great designers to create product lines in a wide variety of styles. TABLE & STOOL: Atlas collection TABLE: Atlas / CHAIR: Kobi
