Agile Office Transformation: 180-Seat Tech HQ
How a leading SaaS company in Southeast Asia consolidated three offices into one agile headquarters — replacing fixed cubicles with a modular four-zone system delivered in 8 weeks.
The Challenge
The client's previous office relied on fixed cubicles and assigned seating. As the team grew, three critical issues surfaced:
Space Waste
35% of desks sat empty daily due to hybrid schedules, while meeting rooms were perpetually double-booked.
Collaboration Friction
No informal spaces for whiteboarding or stand-ups. Every discussion required booking a formal conference room.
Brand Disconnect
The dated cubicle aesthetic undermined the company's modern product image and deterred top candidates during interviews.
Our Solution: Four-Zone Workstation System
We designed a modular layout mapped to how modern tech teams actually work.
A
Focus Zone
Deep work & hot-desking on long bench desks with rectangular metal frames
B
Collaboration Zone
Reconfigurable split-column tables for pair work, stand-ups and ad-hoc meetings
C
Meeting Zone
Conference tables on double-column and heavy-duty square bases for client and team meetings
D
Social Zone
Lounge tables on aluminium 4-star bases and high-bar cocktail tables for breakout and casual chats
Consistent metal-base design language — matte black + brushed gold accents across all four zones
USB-C + AC power routed through base columns for seamless connectivity
Split-column bases enable reconfiguration without repurchasing when team sizes change
Product Selection
Seven product types deployed across four zones — 128 units total, all sourced from our commercial table base portfolio.

| 1 | Rectangular Metal Table Legs — Bench Desk Frame | 60 | A — Focus |

Client Feedback
We've used three furniture vendors before. AEONTI was the first that delivered a system, not just tables. The four-zone layout solved our collaboration bottleneck — we no longer book meeting rooms just for a quick discussion. The split-column bases also let us reconfigure the collaboration zone in under an hour when team sizes changed.
