1. Vision and creation of Desk&Co coworking space
Desk&Co was created in response to market trends, increased demand for flexible forms of workspace, and many years of rich experience in the field of shared office space concepts. At its first location - the former Zagreb Pencil Factory - TOZ, it combines the best of both worlds - the privacy and professionalism of a classic office and the dynamism and togetherness of a coworking community, while offering designer-designed spaces and a top-notch level of service.
The old administration building of the Zagreb Pencil Factory, which is part of the entire complex, is an ideal example of what is needed for today's office space rental. Completely renovated and decorated, it offers everything that today's tenant needs - flexibility, a sufficient amount of common spaces, parking options, proximity to public transport, proximity to major roads, and the location is located in a quiet area of the western part of Zagreb. Behind the Desk&Co brand is The Office Company, a company specializing in creating concepts and equipping office spaces, as well as managing coworking and serviced office facilities. The company is a representative of the Haworth office furniture brand for the Croatian market and through a combination of design, ergonomics and flexible solutions, The Office Company helps clients to create workspaces adapted to the modern needs of employees and business.
2. What distinguishes DeskCo from other coworking spaces in Zagreb (location, equipment, community vibe)?
Desk&Co TOZ is a modern, flexible and designer-decorated workspace, and its special feature is its location in a completely renovated administrative building within the legendary TOZ complex, where it is the only such office space in the western part of Zagreb. The center is located in a quiet environment, outside the hustle and bustle of the city, but it is also well connected by traffic for users who come by car or public transport. Desk&Co TOZ is an example of a space that supports a new work model: it offers flexible packages, the possibility of short-term or long-term rental and a combination of privacy and community, and each user has access to exactly what he needs - a private office, coworking zone, meeting rooms, event space or business club, with a special emphasis on design and comfort. An additional advantage for clients is access to a professional environment and a sense of belonging to a community that is truly diverse at Desk&Co - in this space, entrepreneurs, freelancers, startup teams and creatives share ideas, resources and experiences every day, which often leads to mutual collaboration, projects and new acquaintances. The goal is to enable companies to focus on what they do best, their business, while the Desk&Co team takes care of everything else. Desk&Co TOZ is not just a space, it is a modern work experience that combines design, functionality and flexibility.
3. What types of space do you offer: fixed desks, daily passes, offices, phone booths, meeting rooms?
When designing and creating the space, functionality was paramount - the space was divided into zones that suit different work styles:
● private offices of various sizes for short-term and long-term use with the option of daily rental
● shared modern workspace
● meeting rooms equipped with cutting-edge technology
● shared brainstorming zones,
● phone booths for focus and private calls,
● lounge areas for relaxation and informal conversations
4. How important are ergonomics, design and a productive environment?
The quality of the space we work in has a great impact on our focus, energy and creativity. At Desk&Co TOZ, every detail is designed in a way that creates a space that encourages productivity, and when you feel comfortable in the workspace, it directly affects the quality of work. The interior of the space combines industrial charm and contemporary minimalism, creating a balance between professional and relaxed. Natural materials, soft light and green oases that bring a touch of nature into urban everyday life dominate. Large glass surfaces let in plenty of daylight, which has been proven to improve concentration and mood. In addition, the space is imbued with greenery - from plants to wooden textures - because nature in the office reduces stress and increases creativity. Of course, we must not forget quality office furniture either, since we often spend most of the day sitting at our workplace, and quality ergonomic furniture plays a big role in health, comfort and productivity. When furnishing the office, the focus is on the quality of the office furniture, which is normally included in the price of the service, and additional personalization of the office is always available to clients. Desk&Co TOZ offices are equipped with high-quality Haworth office furniture, and common areas with modern and designer pieces that clients use in their daily work, discount business lounge parts or phone booths.
5. Do you provide additional services: receiving mail, company registration, administrative support?
Desk&Co wants to provide its clients with a complete office space service so that they can focus on their "core business", and therefore the service includes additional services such as discount usage and address registration, receiving mail and administrative support. Clients also have access to storage for bikes, showers and optical network, and an additional convenience is a wide networking network made up of clients of various professions and interests. In addition to the above-mentioned services that are already included, there is also a wide range of additional services that are used on request and clients can additionally activate them if they wish. An example is the additional booking of a meeting hall that clients can book if they need it, the booking process is very simple through the application and payment is according to consumption. There is also parking, branding and placing of signs in front of the entrance to the building and offices, additional furnishing of office furniture and organization of events.
6. Are there special packages for teams, agencies or startups?
Desk&Co TOZ responds to the increasingly pronounced trend of hybrid work, business decentralization and flexible workspace. Such a model was previously reserved for startups and the IT sector, but today it has become a solution for all industries - from marketing and finance to creative agencies and consultants; from freelancers to small and medium-sized companies to multinational companies. In the historic TOZ complex, Desk&Co offers office solutions for all forms and sizes of business - small private offices for individuals, larger open space offices for teams, and for someone who does not need a permanent workplace, there are flexible membership packages that enable work in a common, modernly equipped space of the Business Club, while the virtual office service will be chosen by start-ups or companies that are in the establishment phase and do not need physical office space to begin with, foreign companies that open their representative office in Croatia or companies whose employees work completely remotely and do not need an office. In that case, when they need to hold a meeting or meet with colleagues, they can always book a meeting room as needed.
