COLAB Café officially opened its doors to the public and offered a redefined workspace that breaks the co-working space norms while adapting café culture.
"When we conceptualized Colab, we thought of all the struggles and pains of working beyond the office and home. We knew we needed to capture an environment that boosts productivity without limiting creativity," said Karen Tui, co-founder and CEO of Colab.
As a modern professional, home and office are no longer the only options when it comes to work. And as more people aspire to have a work-life balance, it just makes sense to create a space that enables that, Tui explained.
The thoughtfully curated space takes pride in its centerpiece, the Material Library – which showcases a wide collection of material samples, swatches, and even books and magazines about design and architecture.
It also features a working pod called Quiet Booth where guests can focus on independent tasks or take online calls with minimal distractions. Round tables for both big and small groups are also available for team huddles and brainstorming. A collapsible Meeting Room is also available for more confidential discussions, which is available for rent.

What makes Colab different from a typical co-working space is its actual business model. It does not charge by the seat; instead, it provides a free-seating environment for its guests.
