Joyn 2 is an office table system. Inspired by the family table at the heart of their childhood home in Brittany, designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec developed the office table system Joyn together with Vitra in 2002: oversized shared tables serve as a platform for communication and teamwork. Joyn was the origin of a new office typology that promotes dynamic and spontaneous collaboration. Twenty years later, it still represents the norm in many companies. Joyn 2 enhances the iconic radicalism of the original design through the added dynamic functionality of a modern office table system geared to the future, where employees share open workstations for collaborative tasks.
Joyn 2 is a simple, adaptable design made with durable materials to minimise the carbon footprint. The resulting system therefore features solid wood table tops, screens made of cork and desk pads using recycled leather remnants from Vitra’s furniture production, as well as bases made of untreated aluminium – and those parts that are in plastic are manufactured largely from recycled sources. Designed in a colour scheme that matches this use of sustainable materials, Joyn 2 has a fresh contemporary look and is suited as much for workshop-style offices as for elegant corporate environments.
