Modern, connected information technology makes it possible: instead of assigned private offices and desks, people work at freely available workstations and use desk sharing. This helps move work out of the “little quiet room” and into a modern office environment where togetherness and social interaction can play a central role.

For productive, focused work, retreat spaces are especially important. After all, many people have become used to being able to work without interruptions in a home-office setting. With smart space solutions and innovative office furniture, you can create a place where it’s possible to work calmly and with concentration—even in the midst of others.

Hybrid, generously sized meeting and project rooms that also enable collaboration with colleagues on-site and working from home should be an integral part of a modern office concept.

Big ideas always emerge in teams and through direct exchange. That’s why opportunities for collaboration and working together are essential. And because video conferences and virtual meetings can only replace this to a limited extent, open office layouts and spaces for in-person interaction are needed.

Direct social interaction—even beyond work—plays a central role in making office work appealing again. Conversations during breaks, chance encounters in the hallway or kitchen: the office also serves as a hub for social collaboration and exchange, and it’s a creative engine for generating ideas. That’s why a modern office concept should also include lounge-like open meeting areas and experience-driven offerings.
