Estel: the Italian Smart Office, an office that reconfigures itself
Estel doesn't sell single pieces so much as a way of working: the Italian Smart Office, a concept it launched in 2014 at Orgatec and Expo Milano 2015. Beyond the old open plan, the office becomes a flexible ecosystem — shared desks, work islands, soundproof cabins and living areas that answer needs for focus, interaction and rest.
Because that flexibility is only useful if it's specified right, La Mercanti details every Estel solution for the design team, from layout to samples.
