Office LAB

What Office LAB does

Office LAB AG is a privately held Swiss coworking and flexible workspace operator headquartered in Zurich, founded in 2013 and led by CEO Roger Krieg. The company provides modular workspace solutions across eight locations totaling 17,500 square meters in German-speaking Switzerland, including sites in Zurich (Baslerpark, Rieterpark, Sihlcity), Winterthur (Hauptpost), Baden (Trafo, Konnex), Spreitenbach (Limmatstadt), and Zug (Freiruum). It serves roughly 2,000 company members ranging from individual freelancers and startups to enterprise clients such as VMware and Electrolux, with a member base that spans all major Swiss economic corridors.

The product portfolio is organized into four core lines: Coworking (Flex Desks at CHF 549/month, Fix Desks from CHF 699/month, Day Passes at CHF 30, Day Office at CHF 90, and Half-Day Pass at CHF 15), Team Offices starting at CHF 900/month with corporate-design and virtual office options, Meetingräume covering 50+ meeting and workshop rooms, and Conferencing for events accommodating 2 to 300 persons. Pricing is all-inclusive, bundling high-speed WiFi, printing, cleaning, and coffee, with 24/7 access enabled through the Salto KS mobile access system and meeting room reservations handled through the Zapfloor booking platform. Members gain cross-location access with a single membership, supported by community events, networking programs, and standardized business services including postal handling and business addresses.

The business model combines subscription recurring revenue from monthly memberships and team offices with usage-based revenue from day passes, meeting room rentals, and conferencing events. Distribution is direct through the officelab.ch website, on-site community managers at each location, and a small enterprise sales team. A structural advantage is the sister-company relationship with offconsult, a 30-year-old workspace planning and interior architecture firm, which creates a referral pipeline from corporate design-build engagements into ongoing tenancy. The company remains founder-led and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding and a team of approximately 15 employees.
