Coworking with BILLY, HEKTAR and KALLAX!

Normally, we take our VW buses out into nature on #woooday, unfold the camping chairs and tables and work outdoors. From our experience, we know that a change of location is perfect for clearing your head, getting creative together and experiencing inspiring teamwork.

After a few weeks of winter break, we felt the need to work somewhere else again as a whole team. As it was still too cold outside, we had to think of an alternative.

At some point during our lunch break, it occurred to us that it would be pretty exciting and special to move our ‘working-out-of-office-day’ to IKEA. We couldn't let go of this idea and contacted IKEA Regensburg. After a phone call, we quickly realised that it would work!

So we got straight down to the planning stage, where the entire IKEA team gave us wonderful support. Communication materials were designed, format D sweatshirts ordered, equipment for a secure internet connection and the team packed.

The time had finally come and we travelled to IKEA with 16 people. And, as was to be expected, we felt very comfortable and it wasn't difficult for us to immediately become productive in the beautiful and varied office environment provided for us.

In addition to the large selection of office furniture, an office concept was set up on the sales floor that serves as inspiration for both home office and business customers. Everything was already there: height-adjustable desks, comfortable chairs, seating areas, a kitchenette and a conference room. All we had to do was open up our laptops and we were ready to go. Beyond this office area, however, we were allowed to spread out over the entire space and also sat on the sofas and in the beds - even briefly in the ball pool. One of our colleagues even liked one sofa so much that it was packed up that evening.

On top of this already very special day, there was a tour of the store, the warehouse and the processes behind the scenes, followed by a typical Swedish lunch.

Overwhelmed by this special experience and the nice people we met that day, our thanks go to the entire team at IKEA Regensburg!

Tack så mycket!
