What types of objects give you an emotional connection to a place? What examples of craftsmanship, artistry or design attract your attention, stimulate your appreciation … maybe even give you a sense that you belong there?
Now, what if that place is an office—a corporate workplace?
How does the integration of carefully selected, artisan-quality objects in an office stir the emotions of those who visit or work there? What role does beauty play in the workplace—in inspiring ideas, creating community and shaping company culture?
These are important questions for business leaders, facilities managers and office designers to consider. Because it’s clear that people have a tough time flourishing in generic, impersonal workspaces. Workers want inspiring, flexible spaces that accommodate their emotional, cognitive and physical wellbeing—places where they can feel more at home and more connected to colleagues and their shared mission.
