BARK, a dog-focused subscription box service based in New York believes that dogs are part of the family and its office is designed to be reflective of just that. The airy, open concept space features a variety of amenities that help integrate pets into the work space. Some of these features include little details, like hooks for leashes or dog-friendly sinks. Meanwhile, the office's contemporary interior keeps everyone happy, as its comfortable couches offer a cozy place to relax, while its open concept design provides room to roam. Both practical and aesthetically pleasing, all the details in BARK's dog-friendly office speak to the shifting values of a younger workforce. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pets in the Workplace:** Creating office designs that incorporate pets to boost productivity and morale. - **Dog-friendly Design:** Designing workspaces with amenities and features specifically for dogs. - **Shifting Workforce Values:** Recognizing the changing preferences and priorities of younger employees. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Subscription Box Services:** Developing innovative office designs to cater to pets and employees in the subscription box industry. - **Interior Design:** Offering dog-friendly design solutions for office spaces in the interior design industry. - **HR and Employee Engagement:** Providing support and guidance for companies looking to embrace pet-friendly work environments and attract younger talent. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Friendly Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agility-desk.md) - [Dog-Friendly Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airline-for-dogs.md) - [Dog-Friendly Workplace Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-hire-my-dog.md) - [Demure Dog House Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-hut-desk.md) - [Pet-Friendly Offices Grants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petfriendly-offices-grants.md) - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Cheeky Pet Insurance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onepack-plan.md) - [Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hound-lounge.md) - [Contemporary Eco-Friendly Pet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biting-edge-1.md)
