KLM – Ailo

Ailo is based on research collected from KLM since February 2017, it was found that KLM had an issue of disconnection between employees located in different physical environments. As a result of these findings we designed Ailo to facilitate a creative office tool that is able to be customized for the specific employer needs in every KLM departments.

Ailo is a concept campaign for ‘the winning way of working’, which aims to create a holistic workplace design. The central goal of Ailo is to create an atmosphere where KLM employees are able to experience flexible and customizable environments, disconnection between colleagues and locations is reduced, and plant health benefits in the office are promoted.

The final design solution (Ailo) is a physical structure that can be installed in the ceiling of any work place. It has multiple functions and can be used as a room separator, a ceiling piece or as a table for a break or casual business meeting. Ailo makes any space flexible and fits user needs. Reframe your space with Ailo.
