A workspace. A cup of coffee. And an idea.
It all started with one laptop on a café table. A young graphic designer was searching for a quiet place to work, but his favorite coffee shop quickly became too noisy. Next to him sat a software developer who had just lost a client due to an unprofessional Zoom call. On the other side, a copywriter was typing away, deeply focused, searching for inspiration — and a strong Wi-Fi signal.
They didn’t know each other. Until that morning.
What followed was a conversation. An exchange of ideas. A shared need for more than just a table and a power outlet. They wanted a place to work, grow, and connect. And so, the idea of coworking was born — not from a business plan or strategy, but from necessity and a desire for something more.
What does coworking actually mean?
Today, coworking is much more than just a table and a chair. It’s a shared workspace where freelancers, start-ups, remote teams, and businesses come together to work in an inspiring environment.
Instead of working from home or renting a traditional office, you choose a space that offers flexibility, professionalism, and community. Whether you want to work one day a week at a different location or need a dedicated office without long-term commitments — coworking has you covered.
Why is coworking growing so rapidly?
1. The freedom to choose: In a coworking space, you decide where, when, and how you work. Feeling creative? Find a sunny spot by the window. Got a busy day full of meetings? Book a phone booth or a meeting room. You work on your own terms.
2. The people make the place: Coworking is about more than four walls and a desk — it’s about the people. You might have lunch with a developer, brainstorm with a marketer, or gain new insights during a networking event. The community is spontaneous and powerful. Every workday feels like a source of inspiration.
3. Work the way you want without the overhead: Having your own office comes with costs, contracts, and responsibilities. In a coworking space, the essentials are already taken care of: internet, coffee, cleaning, printers, meeting rooms — it’s all there. You only pay for what you need, and you can scale up or down whenever you like.
4. Working from home is great but not every day: The pandemic taught us that working from home can work — but it also showed us the value of social contact, structure, and variety. Coworking is the perfect complement: the third place between home and headquarters. Ideal for hybrid workers.
What can you expect in a coworking space?
The vibe differs from one location to another, but you can always expect:
• Comfortable workstations
• Fast and reliable internet
• Meeting rooms & phone booths
• Coffee bars and shared kitchens
• Community managers and events
• Access on your schedule — often 24/7
Some coworking spaces are quiet and corporate; others are creative and buzzing. There’s a match for every work style.
From trend to the future of work
What started at a café table has grown into a global work model. Coworking is no longer a hype — it’s a response to how we want to work: flexibly, connected, professionally, and with a human touch.
Whether you’re a freelancer, leading a team, or on the move between client meetings — coworking gives you the space to grow, connect, and be inspired.
