<h3>The furniture</h3>
The furniture is a great presentation card of these coworking spaces. Furniture helps to create atmosphere, facilitates comfort, improves concentration and brings light and colour to the overall design benefiting people’s professional growth, providing performance and flexibility, encouraging creativity and collaboration.
Spaces where the furniture acquires a protagonist character contributing value and functionality to the different rooms, which are transformed according to the needs of the companies and adapted to the requirements of each project.
Furniture that moves away from the traditional office where the main focus was on the operational work area with offices, tables and ergonomic chairs. Now this space only occupies a percentage of the available metres, where the comfort and ergonomics of the work chair continue to be important, but it is no longer seen as a position in which the user remains for a whole working day without moving from his or her post, and the friendly areas that humanise and bring life to the space take centre stage.
<h3>Location and size</h3>
Location and spaciousness are the two characteristics that best differentiate good coworkings from the most common ones, because having a good location is very important, since you must be able to easily and quickly reach your workplace.

Spaces that suggest not only a workplace, but a way of life and relationship adapted to the new times, which humanizes and brings people closer, avoiding falling into only a digital communication, which is effective and necessary for the agility of a business, but without forgetting the need that human beings have to contact and relate physically with people. These spaces contribute to people’s wellbeing and to a social good.
