Tulipan, a new concept of shared solitude

Sep, 2024 • 2 Min. Read

In a world where open workspaces are the norm, how do we find moments of privacy without completely isolating ourselves? Tulipan, the new system by +Halle, designed by London studio Industrial Facility, offers a fascinating answer to this question.

Privacy reinvented

It's not a meeting room. It's not a phone booth. It's not a pod. Tulipan represents a new furniture typology that defies traditional categories: a space for contemplation that allows you to be alone without being separated.

Revolutionary design

With a surprisingly compact design, no larger than a small table, Tulipan reinvents the concept of privacy in public spaces. Its genius lies in its rotary mechanism: half of its walls rotate along with the seat, creating a fluid transition between interior and exterior. This absence of a conventional door eliminates the typical formality of private spaces, allowing for constant dialogue with the surroundings.

The true magic of Tulipan lies in its resolved contradictions: it's a tiny space that feels generous, a refuge that doesn't isolate, a structure that is simultaneously closed and open. Like a shell with a soft center, it combines the protection of a hard shell with the warmth and comfort of a welcoming interior.

A new paradigm

In the post-pandemic era, where the balance between collaboration and personal space has become crucial, Tulipan, the new system by +Halle, emerges as an elegant and empathetic solution. It's not just a piece of furniture; it's a statement about how we want to work and coexist in the future: connected but respecting our moments of solitude.

Industrial Facility has achieved something extraordinary: creating a space that allows us to be alone together, a refuge that protects us without isolating us, a place where we can find privacy without losing connection with our surroundings. In an increasingly complex world, Tulipan offers something invaluable: a moment of peace amid the bustle.

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
