Designing a Functional Workplace: The Grindeks “Taste Lab” Project

We are proud to have been trusted with furnishing “Garšu laboratorija” (Taste Lab), the new, modern staff canteen of leading pharmaceutical company AS “Grindeks”.

Today’s office design calls for spaces that go beyond their basic purpose. In this project, we focused on creating a versatile and attractive environment. It is not just a place for lunch, but also a setting for informal conversations, creative collaboration and team building.

Ergonomics and Smart Zoning for Productivity

Flexibility is what defines a modern workplace. To divide the large space both visually and practically, we added well-planned zoning solutions. This lets employees move easily from a break to an informal work session.

SAAR Metal Shelving to Structure the Space

The space is divided with SAAR, an elegant metal shelving system with an industrial feel, combined with practical cubby shelves. This solution is ideal for:

• Displaying plants and bringing biophilic design into the room.

• Showcasing decorative items that reinforce the brand identity.

• Letting natural light flow through the space.

Premium Design and Furniture Built for Heavy Use

Shared and public areas need top-quality materials. When choosing the furniture, our priorities were sustainability, durability and easy maintenance, all of which are essential in high-traffic commercial settings.

A word from the THOMSON Furniture experts: “Great workplace design combines good looks with longevity. Working with leading European manufacturers, we create spaces that keep their visual and functional value even after years of intensive use.”

Quality Standards from Italian Manufacturer Pedrali

The tables in the canteen and lounge area come from the range of Italian brand Pedrali. This furniture offers excellent mechanical strength, ergonomic design and compliance with the strictest environmental sustainability standards.

A Variety of Seating and Acoustic Comfort

To create a lively and visually appealing environment, the project uses several types of seating. This helps structure the space and gives employees the freedom to choose where they sit.

• Pedrali MODUS modular sofa system: Offers excellent comfort, gives the room structure and forms cozy, semi-enclosed areas for quieter conversations.

• EMI series chairs: A mix of chair models and colors adds energy and rhythm to the space. They are easy to move, so the room can be quickly rearranged for different events.
