Entitled 'Zones,' this furniture collection was created in response to emerging [mobile work patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-pods) that see many working not only in traditional offices but also at home, in cafes or even while in transit. The collection features several different work areas including a large table with bench-like seating, a semi-private seating enclosure and classic meeting tables. With its focus on creating collaborative work spaces, PearsonLloyd creates an office that aims to boost flexibility and creativity among workers. Many design studios have not yet caught up with the increased demand for furniture that suits [open-concept offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arches-screen) and PearsonLloyd proves that straying from that norm can be very beneficial. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Work Spaces:** Designing furniture that promotes collaboration and flexibility in open-concept offices. - **Mobile Work Patterns:** Responding to the emerging trend of people working in non-traditional office settings. - **Flexible Office Furniture:** Creating furniture that can adapt to different work environments and promote creativity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Developing innovative office furniture that encourages collaboration and flexibility. - **Design and Architecture:** Creating office spaces that are conducive to collaboration and cater to the mobile work patterns. - **Workspace Solutions:** Offering products and services to help businesses design and optimize collaborative work spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Hybrid Work Layouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-work-layout.md) - [Modular Post-Pandemic Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futo-collection-furniture.md) - [Vibrant Versatile Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-now-1.md) - [Contemporary Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officetopia.md) - [Charming Workplace Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoozoo-collection-by-narbutas.md) - [Dynamic Modular Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunon-furniture-mixcube.md) - [People-Pleasing Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle-system.md) - [Bench Wall Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle.md) - [Customizable Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelcase-flex-personal-spaces.md)
