The present-day concept of work is dynamic and decentralised. People are moving... Read more

While the modern office evolves in line with new trends in design and technology, people’s needs are also changing, allowing for the emergence of differing personalities that can potentially lead to contradictions within the workspace.

An organised working space focused on employee well-being is essential for creating a successful business. Organise, subdivide, isolate. Welcome, group, communicate. The “open space” era has led to the need to redefine the balance between individual and shared space, combining the need for interaction with requirements of individual privacy. A fundamental role in reconfiguring space... Read more
