Open-concept offices have dominated the workplace design aesthetic for many years now but are quickly falling out of favor as professionals desire more private space, which is seeing products like the 'OMI' room divider be developed to help achieve this.
The partition functions as a moveable whiteboard that features ample space on either side for presentation essentials as well as sound-dampening panels. This works to help visually break up a space, while also preventing sounds from permeating from one area to another.
The 'OMI' room divider is the design work of Sebastian Medrano Casas, and is likely to be especially popular as professionals slowly begin to enter back into the office and require ways to maintain distance between one another.
