N EW WORK .

NEW RULES. Studies confirm: People working in teams innovate faster, achieve better results and report higher job satisfaction. In fact, companies that promote collaboration in the workplace are five times more likely to be high performing and are more profitable. Many teams today are adopting design thinking methodologies and agile behaviors to structure their work. By understanding their activities and behaviors, we can design spaces to help these teams work in new ways.

Amidst this intense style of teamwork, the researchers and designers realized that most workplaces were getting in the way of teams, or at least not making work any easier. Most offices are still predominantly designed to support individual work and a linear process.

So, what do teams expect and need from their work environments? According to Steelcase researchers, companies should consider these three things to help their teams excel.

1. Build a Home for Teams - The role of team space is bigger than just supporting the work itself. It’s also about the human dimension.

2. Flex Space to Process - Teams need a dynamic space that keeps up with their process and keeps them in flow.

3. Empower Teams - Teams need control over their environments to cope rapidly with individual preferences and project needs.

For hyper-collaborative teams it’s all about the human experience. When people are present in a space where they can get to know each other, trust each other and learn and grow together, innovation is far more likely to happen.

DESIGNTEX THE BAUHAUS PROJECT

The Bauhaus Project celebrates and features works of Gunta Stolzl and Anni Albers. Like other women drawn to the Bauhaus, Gunta Stölzl and Anni Albers were frustrated by being restricted to “feminine” disciplines such as weaving.

But once at the loom, the pair amassed product portfolios to rival any of their male contemporaries.

The Bauhaus Project faithfully recreates vintage patterns while adapting them to the requirements of contract interiors.

The Community Collection, a collection of products with colors and patterns that honor the heritage of community and awaken our sense of kinship.

DESIGNED WITH PURPOSE

MOHAWK GROUP REL A XING FLOORS

The culmination of art, science and human-centered design based on fractal patterns which scientific research shows have stress-reductive qualities. Fractals are the building block of many of nature’s patterns and have been scientifically proven to reduce stress and so provide benefits to physical health. Relaxing Floors utilizes fractals to give our eyes a break from the digital world and deliver the essence of nature to the contract-built environment.

Metal Collective, inspired by the Kintsugi practice of repairing broken pottery using metallic lacquer. It starts without intention. Sometimes, the transformation of space begins with a feeling, an urge, a mistake that turns to purpose. The idea of craft is in the exploration. To embrace the fails, the scars, the pieces that don’t quite fit.

Refabrication is the new edit. Because that is where true beauty lies. Imperfect. Impermanent. Incomplete.

INTERFACE D E S I G N W I T H T H E C L I M AT E IN MIND

DESIGNED WITH PURPOSE

OFS IMAGINE A PL ACE

Imagine the difference it would make to live in a world where every place was designed for the needs of the people who use it.

Caring about people isn’t just a behavior or a belief—it’s a calling.

Through the things we make, the interactions we are part of, and the values we represent, we have the opportunity to change lives and plant a future for our children’s children.
