The new era of hybrid work means people will have choices about where to work. The office will have to work harder to attract people and keep them coming back. Offices will need to earn people’s commute by meeting a new set of needs: to support hybrid work and establish connections. Our partner Steelcase shares how spaces need to change.
Choice and Flexibility
Our wall systems provide a palette of place that allow users to have choice and control over their privacy needs throughout the workday. Incorporating glass elements creates a balance of transparency and privacy, while the variety of surface material options enhance the overall aesthetic of the space. Modular construction permits ease of reconfiguration, allowing you to meet the demands of your changing work environment.
Architectural Walls & Space DivisionOptimization and Freedom
As technology continues to become more mobile, workers are looking for flexible work environments that allow them to stay connected as they move throughout their space. Our power distribution systems allow you to maximize your real estate, eliminate dead zones, and provide your workers the freedom to control where they work without being tethered to hard walls. The simple kit of parts allow you to easily change the configuration as your environment evolves.
Power Distribution and FlooringFocus and Control
Noise and lack of speech privacy can lead to distraction in the open office. Our system supports different zones, allowing you to control the level of sound masking based on the size and function of different areas within your office. Sound masking helps people focus and find relief from noisy distractions. The volume is easy to control, and can also facilitate paging and music.
Mobile. Versatile. Engaging. Active.
As the demands of your classroom change, your furniture should be able to move with you. Node Classroom Seating can be quickly re-arranged into different learning modes, providing teachers with a tool to create more engaging and collaborative learning environments. The seamless transitions between configurations allow students to stay focused, while also giving them the flexibility to move throughout the day.
Have you noticed? Many of today’s offices look more like a trendy café, a homey den or a playground than a place where work happens. Whether described as “resimercial,” “ancillary” or “anti-corporate,” informal shared spaces are the latest way organizations are trying to woo talent. Yet, despite their investments, many of these spaces often sit empty.
