Designs that address the contemporary state of office space, more specifically the hybrid work layout, have been the focus of many brands and designers in the industry. Zuzulu is yet another iteration that aims to streamline the hybrid work layout, making it easier for open-concept offices to nurture both the need for individual privacy when working and the vibrant outcomes of collaborative strategies.
Zuzulu was designed by the Basque furniture brand Alki and industrial design studio Iratzoki Lizaso. The aesthetic of the panels and partitions that make up the modular system is designed to fit in with Alki's larger collection of furniture. The system also "combines space-dividing panels with seating, desks, and tables" to add a degree of multi-functionality.
