"More and more offices are giving importance to 'breakout' areas to brainstorm and relax with their colleagues because of long working hours. Current trends include both vibrant and casual concepts similar to cafeterias, cafe bars and lounges," said Mallika Nair, Interior Designer, OFIS - Office Furnishing and Interior Solutions.

To set a lively tone for the work environment and brighten up the office atmosphere, leading office furniture provider OFIS offers Dauphin and Wilkhahn contemporary and functional furniture systems for 'breakout' areas.

"The addition of Dauphin's new range of furniture adds to OFIS's existing portfolio, and we are confident that this line will create a positive effect in any office," said Ajai Dayal, General Manager, Retail and Marketing, Easa Saleh Al Gurg group.

"The main objective of 'breakout' areas is to create a healthy working atmosphere where employees feel relaxed," Nair added. "These areas are designed to break the monotony of workplaces."

Providing innovative and functional solutions, Dauphin's furniture range meets both space and safety requirements. The range includes seating solutions from Zuco and Bosse with a blend of soft seating, comfortable chairs and sleek finishes.

"While designing this area, attention must be paid to factors such as colour, lighting, acoustics and climate. Bright colours play a key role in enhancing this space," Nair added.
