January Newsletter: What Does the Office Look Like in 2024? 

 

How the new year has flown by already! For 2024, we excited to explore the ever-changing furniture and commercial landscape. Will cubicles reappear in the office? Will workers experience hybrid malaise? Will the open office be rebranded? Only time will tell. But we stand by an unwavering commitment to create spaces that foster employee well-being and productivity, and evolve with the changes of time.

 

As part of a new edition to our newsletters, in partnership with our Architectural Products Division, we will feature the latest and greatest in architectural interiors. As our first product feature, we are delighted to introduce Tek Work, the newest addition to Teknion's innovative POD (privacy on demand) product line.

 

Read on for more practical tips and insights that you can implement in workplace design, plus some more on new AI tools you can use for 2024. Stay tuned for more great things to come from The Collective this year, too!

Tek Work's height-adjustable worksurface enhances user comfort and ergonomics, promoting longer work sessions. It features task lighting for focused work, ceiling light that serves as a general spatial light, and an optional face light for better video call appearance.

We witness the transformation of early 20th-century department stores into sought-after office and residential spaces.
