Emersense is a dynamic social enterprise based in Vienna that helps individuals to develop their ideas into real initiatives that can contribute to society.
TILT led the Emersense community through a co-design process to create a physical space capable of enabling their ideas, initiatives, relationships and enterprises to thrive.
The result was a work, event and meeting space in central Vienna that is an exemplar in adaptive and multifunctional space. The major architectural intervention in the space creates a flow around an unusually narrow 19th Century Viennese apartment. It houses the bar and kitchen at one end, tiered seating at the other and in between breakout spaces, phone booths and storage.
Through a series of workshops TILT prototyped and designed new ranges of furniture, including three pioneering table shapes, affectionately titled, the lemon, plum and cashew tables. Each table can nest or exist independently.
TILT married 'hand-cut' and more advanced CNC techniques, maintaining a sense of craftsmanship essential to our work.
