Development of Kantoor Virtual Office Platform

Remote teams were struggling with the disconnect of working across time zones and chat windows. Kantoor set out to build a virtual office platform that recreated the spontaneity and presence of a physical workspace, without forcing people into endless video calls. They needed an interface that felt spatial and alive, not like another grid of rectangles.

We designed Kantoor's entire product experience from the ground up, focusing on making virtual presence feel natural rather than performative.

The design process included:

Spatial workspace UI where team members exist as persistent avatars in a shared virtual environment

Interaction design for spontaneous conversations, room-based collaboration, and status visibility

Motion and animation system to make transitions between spaces feel fluid and intuitive

Visual identity that balances professionalism with warmth, avoiding the sterile look of most enterprise tools

Everything was designed in Figma with interactive prototypes, and motion concepts were built in After Effects to communicate the spatial experience to the development team.

Kantoor launched with an interface that makes remote work feel less isolated. The spatial UI gives teams a sense of shared presence that chat apps and video calls can't replicate, and the design system scales cleanly as new features and room types are added.
