Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Globus Flex Workspace

— January 22, 2008 — Art & Design
There are so many times a small, but secure workspace is needed. The Globus flexible workspace fills that need efficiently and beautifully. When it's closed it's intriguing, when open, it's fully functional as a mobile space with comfortable swivel chair attached.

Imagine this in flex offices, or waiting rooms, airports, etc. It would seem to have endless possibilities.

Implications - Office furniture has evolved along with the space it occupies. With open-space concepts becoming the norm for offices, it becomes all the more important that the furnishing adopts the same theme so that people don't feel segregated. What's more interesting is that designers have come up with ways to combine both privacy and openness together without sacrificing either one.
Trend Themes
1. Flexible Workspace Solutions - The emergence of furniture that is adaptable to various environments, offers a practical solution to the need for a small and secure workspace. This trend has the potential for disruption in the workspace design industry.
2. Mobile Furniture - The development of furniture that is mobile and versatile provides flexibility and convenience in various settings. A potentially disruptive innovation in furniture design.
3. Privacy and Openness in Workspace - The creation of workspaces that are both private and open might promote productivity and collaboration and might pave the way as a new trend in workspace design.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Flexible and mobile furniture design solutions that are practical and comfortable might disrupt the traditional furniture design industry.
2. Workspace Solutions - Mobile workspace solutions that are secure and adaptable have the potential to disrupt the traditional workspace solutions industry.
3. Architecture and Interior Design - Flexible workspace solutions that bring together privacy and openness, may require new approaches to architectural and interior design, with potential for disruption.
