Kettal Expands Workplace Design with New Products and Modular Systems

At NeoCon 2026, Kettal unveiled a series of new introductions that reflect the company's evolving approach to workplace design. Presented under the Kettal Workplace platform, the collection brings together architecture, furniture, lighting, acoustics and flexible spatial solutions to create more adaptable and human-centred environments.

Highlights include Area, a modular workplace system developed with Foster + Partners Industrial Design that integrates power, lighting and connectivity within a flexible framework for collaborative workspaces. Barber Osgerby's new U-Type chair reimagines workplace seating through a softer, more residential lens, combining advanced ergonomics with a calm architectural aesthetic. Kettal also reintroduced Verner Panton's Shogun chair in collaboration with Verner Panton Design AG, bringing renewed attention to the designer's later work.

The presentation further explored new workplace applications of the Eames Pavilion System, developed in collaboration with the Eames Office. Building on Charles and Ray Eames' ideas around modularity, adaptability and human-scaled design, the system demonstrates how flexible architectural structures can support contemporary ways of working.

Together, the launches highlight a growing shift away from conventional office environments toward workplaces that blend the comfort of residential interiors with the flexibility, technology and performance required for modern work.
