The culmination of years of research on the way people work today illustrates that Rockwell Unscripted is anything but unplanned.
As mobility lifts limitations on where work is done, organizations are challenged to create engaging environments that draw workers to the office.
At the 47th anniversary of NeoCon, the annual contract industry trade show which took place in Chicago June 15th to 17th, Knoll demonstrated a range of adaptable furniture solutions that support technology and its dynamic role in connecting people in and across workplaces.
Knoll’s theme for NeoCon 2015 was the “Office Network” which crystallized the relationship between the evolving role of social networks in the workplace and the technology networks and on-demand power and data access that enable them.
The 21st century workplace poses one constant: change.
At NeoCon 2014, Knoll presented “r/evolution workplace”, a platform that illustrates the freedom and opportunity organizations have to re-imagine the workplace by exploring four distinct interior planning approaches.
Several new products that support r/evolution workplace were shown including Remix Work Chairs, Antenna Telescope Adjustable Table System and k.lounge Collection.
In the evolving workplace, Activity Spaces are ‘go to’ spaces accessible to everyone for everything from focused, individual work through large community gatherings
Knoll offers numerous solutions for appropriately scaled activity spaces, offering refuge for one or two, enclaves for three or four, team meeting spaces for five to eight members of a team, and larger assembly and community spaces.
All encourage collaboration, improve workplace efficiency and productivity, and provide organizations the opportunity to express their culture and brand.
