Yoox Net-A-Porter Group is the world’s leading online luxury fashion retailer, with offices and warehouses around the globe distributing high-end clothing and accessories in over 180 countries.
In June 2017, as part of their growth strategy, they opened a state-of-the-art Tech Hub in west London, bringing all their tech teams under one roof.
Created by award-winning British architects Grimshaw, the 70,000-sq. ft. space at White City Place is designed to inspire creative ways of working, as the Group seeks to attract top digital talent. It was built to facilitate a mobile working culture, whilst simultaneously supporting seamless collaboration with the Group’s other global offices.
After an 8 week trial period, the HÅG SoFi mesh was chosen as the main task chair, beating 7 other chairs in a variety of rigorous tests and scrutiny. A combination of the Scandinavian aesthetics, comfort, support and versatility is what won it for the SoFi, and 600 chairs were installed by seating specialists Posturite.

"With the Tech Hub we had a blank slate. We wanted to make sure uncomfortable seating was never a problem for anyone. People here do intensive work for long periods of time. We wanted to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. It’s a significant investment to make, but we’ve already saved ourselves so much time and money not having to deal with so many DSE issues… My personal assistant has a slipped disc. For a long time she couldn’t sit down anywhere. The HÅG SoFi is the only chair she can use comfortably." CRISTALLE CHARLES-MORRELL, FACILITY MANAGER, YOOX NET-A-PORTER TECH HUB COMPANY NAME
