Camira Knit: Steelcase Flex Personal Spaces

Designed and developed to deliver the flexibility and privacy we need and want in the modern workplace, the Steelcase Flex Collection creates an ecosystem of flexible spaces for focus, collaboration, and connections. 

Part of the contemporary Flex product offering, Steelcase Flex Personal Spaces features a curved Camira Knit fabric privacy wrap and specially-shaped desk which can be configured in over a dozen possible ways to create individually tailored workstations.

A marked progression from the homogeneity of the traditional office cubicle, Steelcase Flex Personal Spaces ensures that each person can create a place that works for them, so that they can do their best work.

Groundbreaking, innovative design by Steelcase.

 

Designed with human nature in mind, the unique curved frame design of Steelcase Flex Personal Spaces is inspired by a cove – or a sheltered bay. Coupled with a sustainable one-piece knit covering and paired with uniquely shaped desks for ultimate flexibility, these patent-pending privacy wraps make for a cocoon of comfort that can be quickly and easily rearranged to support different work modes or styles – just like the home office many workers have enjoyed since the beginning of the pandemic. 


“We wanted it to shelter you in a way that creates a visceral feeling in people,” says Steelcase Industrial Design Principal John Allen. “When you’re sitting in it, you feel safe, like a security blanket – it’s not something that can be explained, it needs to be experienced.”

A Camira Knit fabric creates a customisable cocoon

 

Developed by the team at Camira Knit, our advanced technical knitting capability, the privacy wrap features a soft curved surface for a welcoming, comforting aesthetic, while unique tufted detailing in the canopy provides a tailored finish. With pin-tackable walls and optional, integrated lighting, the combined result is functional, stylish, and infinitely versatile.



Darren Hill, Head of Camira Knit, comments “The knitted fabric wrap featured on Steelcase Flex Personal Spaces is one of our proudest developments – the product really does set itself apart from all others in its category thanks to its configurability and adaptability, and it has been a delight to work with Steelcase on creating a knit which so perfectly matches its functionality and aesthetics.”

Developed with the planet in mind.

 

With seven core sustainability attributes, Steelcase Flex Privacy Spaces has been developed for the lightest of environmental footprints:

    • Reusable and Repairable: Knit-to-fit styling allows the cover to be changed without having to replace the entire product. The knit is also easily repairable.
    • Recycled Content + Materiality: The Camira Knit covering is made from 100% recycled polyester using a zero-waste method of manufacturing. Plus, the entire Privacy Wrap can be disassembled into recyclable components.
    • Sustainable Packaging: A multi-pack bulk packaging option reduces the amount of packaging waste significantly.
    • Design: Since the fabric on the Privacy Wrap fits perfectly, assembly requires no additional cutting or sewing that would create waste.
    • Energy: The Camira Knit manufacturing process uses low-energy flatbed weft technology.
