The death of cubicles and cable-ridden office desks has been long predicted, as minimalist gadgets and greenery are taking over the traditional workspaces. Millennials and Generation Z will continue to influence the direction of office design, going for everything small, smart, practical and collaborative.
Millennials have become the largest generation in the U.S. workforce, and as Generation Z starts entering the workplace, the profile of the typical employee has drastically changed. The era of cluttered office desks, knotted cables, post-its and cubicles has officially come to an end as more and more businesses rely on customized spaces, open floorplans and free goodies to attract the younger workforce. Architects and designers have tried to incorporate individual preferences through fluid designs, while at the same time using the employer’s brand identity to create the workplace of tomorrow.
