Joyn bench system
Joyn is not furniture. Joyn is a philosophy, an organisational system, a way of thinking about work.
Vitra have spent the past 40 years studying the sociology of work, exploring the emerging technologies, developing innovative new materials, and creating new kinds of systems for new kinds of working. Those years of experience have
culminated in thier newest, evolutionary office system: Joyn.
Joyn condenses a diversity of spatial functions on a single plane: The platform is the office. Joyn is more than a piece of office furniture, it’s a management tool for cultural change. With its mobile and modular structure, Joyn adapts spontaneously to changing demands and technologies. It initiates new, productive forms of work based on communication and cooperation.

Information:
The Platform:
Joyn condenses a diversity of spatial functions on a single plane: The platform is the office. Joyn is more than a piece of office furniture, it’s a management tool for cultural change. With its mobile and modular structure, Joyn adapts spontaneously to changing demands and technologies. It initiates new, productive forms of work based on communication and cooperation.
Screens & Blotters:
Work areas may be spontaneously rezoned using screens and blotters. As none of the boundaries are fi xed, work areas simply contract and expand as needed. Density varies with the level of activity.
The Third Level:
The Joyn platform accommodates workers on both sides separated by a central cable channel carrying
data and power and a “third level”: aluminium profi les serving to hold screens, organisers, lamps and
special adapters for fl atscreens.
The Lower Level:
The Joyn platform frame features containers for computers under the desktop, keeping the workspace clear.
Joyn Conference:
Meeting and working have blended together. Conferences may incorporate digital projection, laptops,
speakerphones, mobile phones, PDA’s as well as traditional paper and pencils. The Joyn bench with
embedded power and data makes a perfect surface on which to orchestrate contemporary meetings.
Joyn Single Bench:
The Joyn Single Bench is the personal workplace for any decision maker in a collective environment.
Joyn Single Desk:
Height adjustable Joyn Single Desks are designed for single users. Optional screens surrounding the
table top provide more privacy. Direct power access facilitates ”plug and work“.
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have operated a joint design studio in Paris since 1999. The scope of work by the brothers ranges from small everyday items through to architectural projects. They have been developing concepts and typologies for new home and work environments for Vitra since 2000. Their designs are based on an intelligent conceptional approach, paired with panache, a love of experimentation and a well-founded understanding of technical issues. In addition to designing home and office furniture, vases, porcelain tableware, jewellery and assorted home accessories, a fascination with enclosed spaces and their designs remains a hallmark of their work. In this regard, their concepts for retail shops and exhibitions have met with widespread acclaim.
