Incorporating a space that can spark moments of interaction, such as a social hub by the coffee machine, is often at the fore when designing new workplaces. At this year's Salone del Mobile presenting a new scenario for offering 'moments of meditation around the water cooler', Studio O+A's interactive installation investigated future work environments.
In an exhibition curated by Milan designer Cristiana Cutrona to anticipate positive innovation in workplace design, Studio O+A's presentation was 'an exercise in the fluidity of space using the polymorphous nature of water as a metaphor for the way workspaces will shift to adapt to the needs of the moment.'
Visitors were attracted to the stand by the new workplace scenarios presented to them, whether to try-out the wearable office accessories and portable furniture or to don a virtual reality headset and take a peek into the future of the office.
