Lazy Productivity

Solutions that promote work and rest speaks to a shift in workplace demographics

Implications - Millennial employees are purported to be the most enthusiastic generation in the workforce, but also the one with the worst work ethic. As the exodus of Boomers from the workplace continues, designers are responding to the surge in productively-challenged Gen Ys with solutions that intertwine the concepts of work and rest to promote a sense of acceptance for sleepy twenty-somethings on a deadline.
Trend Themes
1. Blurring Work and Rest - As more designers create work and rest solutions, the trend for the integration of work into leisure and vice versa is growing rapidly.
2. Playful Workspaces - Designers are creating workspaces that look more like playgrounds, allowing for creativity and productivity to flow freely.
3. Comfort-based Designs - Designers are encouraging relaxation and comfort in work environments through furniture and accessories that prioritize the physical well-being of workers.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Designers have an opportunity to create furniture that prioritizes the comfort and productivity of workers by integrating work and leisure seamlessly.
2. Office Design - As designers create playful and comfortable workspaces, businesses can consider designing their workspaces to promote creativity, productivity, and employee well-being.
3. Yoga and Meditation - The use of yoga-inspired designs in office chairs and support cushions is growing, and businesses can consider incorporating yoga and meditation practices in the workplace for increased employee well-being.
