Having a physical location as a workspace has many inherent benefits, such as bringing employees together in a collaborative environment and giving companies the opportunity to create culture and identity. But when hybrid and remote work began to rise in the early stages of the pandemic, many wondered it this meant the end of the physical office. However, now that two years have passed, the pattern has been clear: instead of being completely replaced by remote methods, many companies have adapted to new employee needs and conditions by opting for team-based, comfortable and flexible spaces that foster creativity, collaboration, and productivity.
While architecture sets the scene and provides the framework, interior design is what can ultimately create work environments capable of meeting that criteria. Whether it be with chairs, tables, decorations or luminaires, it is important to choose the right pieces to create a flexible, visually appealing and inviting space that positively influences workers. With this in mind, below we present furniture, lighting systems and decorative elements that are not only functional, but also comfortable, versatile and aesthetically pleasing – hence promoting productivity and efficiency. To help inspire architects and designers, these are shown through a round-up of modern workspaces and products.
