In the modern world of work, time is precious, and flexibility is vital. The days of being tethered to a desk at a fixed office or relying on crowded coffee shops to get things done are over. Enter the flexi desk: a game-changing solution for busy professionals who need a productive space without the hassle. Whether you are in between meetings, need a change of scenery, or are simply looking for a quiet place to focus, flexi desks provide the perfect answer. With a few quick clicks, you can book a workspace, walk in, and start working—it is that simple.
This blog post will explore the advantages of flexi desks, how they can boost your productivity, and why they are the ultimate solution for busy professionals who need an efficient and easy-to-book workspace.
What Are Flexi Desks?
Flexi desks, or flexible desks, are a type of shared workspace where professionals can book a desk on demand. These desks are located in premium office environments and are designed to meet the needs of modern workers. The concept is simple: rather than committing to a long-term office lease or sitting in a noisy cafe, you can reserve a desk in a fully equipped office environment with all the necessary amenities. After all, working in a noisy cafe often proves to be less than ideal for professionals looking for focus and productivity.
Unlike traditional coworking spaces where you might need to commit to a monthly or yearly membership, flexi desks provide ultimate flexibility, allowing you to book a desk when and where you need it—sometimes even with as little as a 1-minute lead time.

The Appeal of Flexi Desks
1. Effortless Booking Process
One of the most attractive features of flexi desks is the ease of booking. Whether you are using a mobile app or logging into an online platform, reserving a desk takes only a few seconds. The intuitive booking systems allow you to choose the location, date, and time slot that works best for you. No more waiting for approval, negotiating prices, or worrying about availability. Once your booking is confirmed, all you need to do is show up. The system at collective_100 even allows you to make last-minute bookings, so if your plans change or you suddenly need a place to work, you can find one in an instant.
2. Quick and Easy Access
Flexi desks are designed to fit into your schedule seamlessly. You can book a desk at a moment's notice and walk in just a minute later, ready to work. This is especially helpful when you are in a busy area or in between appointments and need a spot to catch up on work without any delay. Coworking spaces such as collective_100 often offer walk-in availability, meaning you can simply show up, check in, and get started within minutes. It's a highly convenient option for professionals looking to maximise their productivity and save time.
3. Flexible Terms
Unlike traditional office spaces or coworking memberships, flexi desks come with the benefit of no long-term commitment. You can book a desk for multiple days or just a single day—whatever suits your needs. This flexibility makes them ideal for freelancers, consultants, business travellers, or remote workers who need a professional workspace but don’t require a full-time office.
Additionally, many flexi desk services offer multiple locations in various cities or suburbs, so if you are travelling, you can still book a desk and stay productive. It may happen that you are in town for a quick business meeting or need a productive place to work while you are between client visits, the flexibility of a flexi desk ensures that you have access to a business environment whenever you need it.

Whether you are working in the heart of the city, city fringe or on the outskirts, you will find a workspace in a location that works for you. Unlike traditional office spaces that may be far from where you need to be, flexi desks ensure you are always close to the action. Wherever you are, you can quickly secure a workspace near your meetings or business appointments. collective_100’s flexible workplace in Cremorne is just minutes away from Richmond Station - one of Melbourne's largest train stations.

Office equipment such as printers and scanners is readily available, and complimentary refreshments like coffee, tea, and water help keep you energized.

How Flexi Desks Work: Step-by-Step
Using a flexi desk is straightforward. Here’s how the process works:
- Choose a Coworking Space: There are many flexible workspaces out there, ranging from large, international companies to local spaces. Some may have their own apps, while others use third-party platforms.
- Select Your Location and Time: Use the online booking system to choose a location and the time you need. Many platforms let you book on demand or reserve a spot for later.
- Complete Your Booking: Once you have chosen your desk, confirm your booking. You may be asked for payment at this point, depending on the workplace’s booking process.
- Show Up and Get Started: When you arrive, simply check in at the front desk (if needed) and walk to your reserved workspace. Most flexi desk spaces are self-serve, so you can just grab a desk and begin working.
- Enjoy Your Productive Day: Work with ease, knowing you have everything you need to be productive, from high-speed internet to office supplies.
