Pantone Releases the 2025 Color of the Year. Five Designers Respond.

2025 Workplace Trends: The Rise of Authentic Amenities
Gensler's Heiser and Gannon highlight an emerging trend in corporate office design: it has become increasingly formulaic, with amenities like cafés and wellness rooms often added just to check a box. They advocate for a more intentional and authentic design approach, encouraging companies to think outside the box and create spaces that truly enhance the workplace experience.
Celebrating a year of hard work, collaboration, and growth together! We wrapped up 2024 with festive celebrations across our offices in Canada and USA. With fun traditions and laughter all around, this season has been one to remember.
Cheers to a wonderful 2024 and have a Happy New Year!
