Functional use of space for meetings, workspace and storage that manages to separate but maintains a feel of connection between the spaces. The design is meant to make you think of hanging cloth or waves. You move between each [work space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deveron-office) by stepping over the lowest points of the divider. Might be rough for office runners but I'm sure employees are probably getting a work out as well as clean aesthetics.

According to [Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments-becoming): "When you stand up and look through the whole space people, [shelves and plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bochum-office) seem to appear and disappear as though floating between the waves." Wouldn't want to be hungover and have to go to work in "space" like that.
