At the Orgatec 2016 furniture fair in Cologne, Germany (next week), nendo‘s ‘rolling workspaces’ installation for the Japanese furniture manufacturer KOKUYO, presents a move away from the square, regimented office environment. Based on the presumption that redefining the square whiteboard, which is a common fixture used in every office, will create an environment that will encourage creativity, the whiteboard was transformed into a circular shape. This allowed the board to be rolled around freely in the office, where it can be placed against the walls. Furthermore, the new form aims to promote people to write down their ideas not in a linear fashion but chained in a spiral or spread out in a radial way.
